Thought I would share a few photos from our honeymoon on Madeira, the Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean. I hope to post a few more later. C&C is welcome as always :)

A part of the garden at our hotel. Beautiful view over the ocean.

As Madeira is known for its beautiful flowers, I have to include a few flower shots. A Lady Slipper orchid.

Hey there! Great shots. I'm not too big a fan of the first one just because there isn't enough content, for me anyway. I think the one of your wife could be in a hotel brochure or something. The last few are great with sharp colors!

Great!
Dustin

Thanks Dustin. I think you're right about the first one. Especially when scaled down that much, it doesn't look that interesting.

I agree - the shot of your wife does look like it's straight out of a brochure! Great clours on most shots but I think the one of the bay looks a bit washed out. Did you take that around noon by any chance?

Thanks Perm and Lemminglover.

LOL, I've been getting the ad comment a lot on that photo (as well as on this one http://www.flickr.com/​photos/chaos2/14670407​40/ (external link)). Does that mean it looks over posed? I actually did very little PP on it. Mostly lifted the exposure a bit.

The one of the city and harbor was taken about 3 PM, but the sky was quite overcast. There was also a bit of haze over the city which I tried to minimize in PP, but I don't think I was quite successful in my attempt.

1º - i'm Portuguese and I think you chose a very nice place for your honeymoon
2º Good photos and third one could go for a turism guide paper or for a hotel advertisement

Thanks to all :) And I have to agree, it was a very nice place for a honeymoon... and we will go back there! I can definitely recommend Madeira. And bring your camera, because there's a lot to photograph! :)

Did you use flash with the shot of your wife writting the postcards?

Not to take credit for this, but last night this post didn't have any comments after it had been up for a couple weeks, i think. I sorted the posts by replies and went through and replied to as many as I could that had 0 reply's, and this morning all of them had at least 10.

I'm glad you got good feedback fi20100

Thanks jcw122. I came home from the trip with 1000 photos of which at least 30% is usable. There were a lot of duplicates as well, trying different exposures and especially with the flowers where I was using quite shallow DOF, I usually took two just to be sure that I had one good.

Souwalker, actually I used two. If you click the photo you will get the strobist information, but I can copy-paste it here as well.

Strobist information: Two 430 EX sitting on the floor firing towards the walls on each side creating a cross-lighting effect. The flashes were triggered by the ST-E2 in E-TTL II mode. The walls and ceiling were creamy white, giving a very warm tone to the light. The background was underexposed by a few stops.

Yes, thanks for being the first to post chefonfire, but this thread was started less than 22 hours ago (there's a time code that tells you how may hours or days has gone since the post), and you replied within an hour of me starting the thread :)

But again, it's a good thing you're doing chefonfire! :)
