I spend most of my time shooting sports, but being unable to put the camera down for 10 days I ended up taking a bunch of photos on holiday. Rather than just snap away (did that as well), I was trying to reproduce some of the very cool shots that are seen in the high end travel mags. With that in mind I'd appriciate your feed back on those below.
All are straight out of the camera- sharpened and cropped 6x4. Most of the time I was using a 4 stop grad to bring the skies down, with the exception of 8 which I've (now) tweaked as it was way to flat from shooting in to the sun. - UPDATE Images now changed in line with the feed back ....
1. Fairly standard stuff ... BTW every tried opening a coconut straight off the tree with a sharp rock - took us ages
 | Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
2. I've no idea why this is on the sand on Mystery Island, but everyone carefully walked around it ... Idea behind the shot is isolation
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
3. Standard "Topical Island"
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
4. Again a standard Travle Agent shot
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
5. This just made me laugh, but it seemed to fit the overall scope I was aiming for
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
6. Airline magazine shot - fly the clear blue skies to a tropical paradise
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
7. Travel Agent poster of just about anywhere you want (it's great having an always available model that loves to have her photo taken)
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
8. The "I want" shot ... the idea is that you want to be on that beach and that cruise
| Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
Feed back is welcomed
Cheers Dave
Nice shots!
