Living Ambience

Taken at the Taj Cochin Hotel in India. The early morning light was

controlled with medium format bounce flash and gold reflector.

Good light and colors are fine too. Most of all I like perspective. DDD

Another beautiful composition,light & colors,dear Alec.

I love so many things about this elegant shot. Perfectly framed by the carved wood swing and the wonderful background is such a great setting for your wonderful subjects. Perfect!

Wonderful shot with aesthetics carrying through from the subject matter (people) to the landscape.

Alec, was this intended to be a promotional shot for the Taj Cochin? I am looking forward to more of your shots from Kerala; it's a beautiful part of India to be in (amongst others).

This is national geographic stuff Alec! So clean and fantastic control of lights! Congrats!

Good photograph Alec.

Dexter, Sircar, lighting was tough and the space is limited so I had to lie on my back and use the 12-24mm Nikkor.

 

Kim, Stupski, Amar, Vincent, Kalaga we are lucky to have 2 other assistants to hold the reflector and portable studio flash for this shoot.

 

Amar, we stayed at Taj Cochin a really ornate hotel with excellent landscaping. This shot is for a prominent client residing in Kerala with a global business network in shipping and property. (Permission was granted to use this image here.)

Excelente luz, color y bella composicion, relax.... un cordial saludo Alec....Excellent light, color and beautiful composition, relax .... a cordial greeting Alec....

The picture exudes a sense of serenity, calm and class, from the subjects to the frame of the swing, the subtle background and the lighting. Not sure if you want to clone or crop off the slight shadow in the foreground at the bottom-left of the picture. An excellent shot to be tresured for perpetuity. Rgds.

Okmen, Kaushik, Ricardo, Bolti, Brad, Jim, Umair, Pulok, Kelvin, Chaba, Julio. My gracious thanks for coming and commenting. Jeremy, the shadow is a little distracting perhaps. I'll print it out and see if a crop is better. Thank you for the suggestion.

Superb control of light, gives an excellent clarity to this image
Nice catch

Interesting situation of these two man on the swing, Alec.... nice dof and light as was said. Looks an interesting visit you have had. Pnina
