Love the dust, perhaps the image could be a bit sharper and I probably would have left the old barn in the frame or crop out all the way. Very nice image, I also like the wide shot with the raw of vines. Time for a glass of wine:-) |

Karen's crop works for me, I think the dead space did not had much. Very nice image, I like the red left over pain on the old shack! |

Hi Bill,
I do have vertical close up shots, some with the huts but they are further away. I do not intend to climb again! That was a one time deal, they asked me to fly but I am not sure I want to get up there again! The launch is done from atop the hill, the wings gets the wind rather quickly and then a few steps to take off. Depending on wind condition they can fly quite a long time and get quite high. The pilot (husband) is a paragliding instructor and his wife does trapeze beneath him, that really cool to watch. They land on a close by soccer field, I was not there as we had to hike back down to sea level:-)
My concept for photography will focus on underwater shots with the same dress, we are actually getting two more from the designer as she quite excited about collaborating.
We might do another underwater shoot scuba diving this time and another in a pool in the evening with a ballet dancer. I added some shots with the dress here https://www.boraboraphotovideo.com/portfolio-aquatic-night-photography/ |

There are many ways to skin the cat:-) I don't disagree on the crop preference, I am personally not a big fan of 1:1 square images but that is one of the preferred format of Instagram and thus we must accept it to get more IG love.
This was a challenging pro-bono shoot, the hike was extremely difficult for non-athlete plus it was HOT and humid. My wife who often is my second shooter did not make it and I struggled!
A good friend who was tagging along (he is in shape) kindly carried my gear bag which contained two camera bodies with two lenses - a 100-400 & 70-200 plus I had a 24-70.
I ended up having no second shooter but after giving a 5 min prep class to my friend Eric, he ended up shooting in AV mode with the 70-200 - I took a few shots, wide with the 24-70 and then focused on closeups with the 100-400.
No tripod, the couple flying was moving at around 40kmh and being zoomed at around 300 to 400 was challenging.
We ended up with around 600 shots from the session (approx an hour) - Down to around 300 after the first selection to end up with just over 100 shots and 10-20 that will eventually get published.
The good news being that the dress designer accepted to work with us and lend us 3 dresses for our aquatic shootings as these dressed float so well in water.
The hike was worth the pain:-) It was a fun personal project, the start of a collaboration which I hope will bring business:-) - Our intent being to use these dresses in our aquatic shootings.
Wanted to give more of the context and story.

Gorgeous, it looks like an oil painting, the effect works for me. Would also love to see the original. |

It is a beautiful shot! My only comment would be regarding the focus point, it seems to be on the tip of the flowers on the right. Perhaps I would have liked to see it on the front flower tips. Great idea with the black drop! |

Hi Bob,
It could likely be cropped especially these are very large images. With the intent to work with https://www.valeriepache.fr/ to come to some type of collaboration, I do have many closer shots to focus only on the person / dress on the trapeze. I agree with the huts should may be pop a little more on the wider shots. I have not had time yet to fully process them but I do find this area of the image a little "flat".
Having closed our borders here again and without work, I have plenty of time to do post processing work:-) |
