Live photo studio, a photo from La Digue, La Digue and Praslin

Photographer's Note

Not a lot to add regarding this well-known place.

I knew a lot of professional fashion photo agencies were using this place but I was not expecting to see some live shooting (not to be seen on this picture though).

At the beginning of my trip I thought I had taken perhaps too many gears with me, but after that day I knew I was travelling light.

Bonsoir Chris,
Après une semaine de pluie et de brouillard voir cette image c'est une tentation pour prendre un avion et foutre le camp! Photo magnifique, lumière bien gerée malgré le soleil éclatant. Un cadeaux pour nos yeux. Merci!

Salutations,
Juan

Bonjour Chris ,
Un des plus beaux paysages côtiers au monde , sans aucun doute . Et un point de vue génial , avec ces algues dans cette eau transclucide , amenant le reagrd vers les fameux rochers en second plan .
Amicalement

un paysage qui fait du bien en cette période où l'on rentre de plein pied en automne. Le rendu des couleurs, sur ce bel endroit, est superbe.
Merci pour ce partage

Bonjour Chris pour cette photo prise les pieds dans l'eau. Le point de vue relativement bas donne une belle profondeur à ta réalisation. Cadrage bien équilibré. Les couleurs sont magnifiques et donnent envie de faire un petit tour dans cette île paradisiaque.
Amicalement,
Delphine

Hello Chris - What an idyllic beach scene. An inviting image with a super composition. The FG details with the clear water is lovely and adds good depth.. Rocks, coral sands, blue sky and green plants all combine in a harmonious whole. Makes me want to book a vacation! Best regards Rosemary

Salut Chris!
C'est une vraie merveille!
C'est un paradis tropical!
C'est une photo superbe!
Le pdv choisi, le format vertica, l'encadrement noir & blanc, la netteté, les couleurs obtenues, la gestion de la lumière et surtout la compo sont excellents... chouettes!
Merci du partage,
Amitiés,
Neyvan

Salut Chris

Magnifique POV, avec un bel effet dynamique! Les couleurs, la lumière, font le reste avec un paysage de rêve... J'aime beaucoup la symbiose apparente des formes, entre les algues au premier plan, les rochers et le nuage... !!!
Etonnant comment ça a l'air désert... tu les as tous tué, avant de prendre la photo, ou quoi? Ah non, il reste un touriste vivant qui s'enfuit au loin!
Félicitations
Marine

Bonjour Chris,

J aime beaucoup la façon dont tu as composé ta photo avec un bon étagement des plans. Je trouve que c'est souvent la force des cadres verticaux de permettre ce type de rendu.

Yves.

Hi Chris,

I guess I miss many beautiful beach scene you have been showing. I personally don't know too much about this place, now I do. It does looks like a perfect place to shoot swim suit models. The landscape is beautiful for sure, I think your choice of composition is interesting and the vertical format give even more depth. Good shots as always. Sorry I have been really not very motivated to comment lately. Have a good day.

Hello, an excellent photo of this famous beach. Wonderful POV and strong sharpness due to your choice of exposure. Superb DOF.
I wish I could be there. It is absolutely on the other side of the globe from where I am.
TFS,
Karen
