A dangerous engagement ... ;o)

Agnieszka

Just wanted to post 2 pics from my today's engagement shoot. I was dying to work on them as soon as I had the shot in the camera - well, ok actually already before I got the shot

I took the photos in a sculpture garden in the area. I've been there about 4 times already, but didn't see the "flying sharks" until today .... what a FUN idea! I wish I would have the right $$ to have them in my backyard ... ok, I would need a backyard first ... haha :rolleyes

Here are 2 takes:

1.


2:


3: And just a normal one of the couple ....:


C & C welcome. :lust

VERY cool!!! I like the two different types of processing done in #1 and #2. In the first one it almost looks like you put a surreal background in there. Very neat!

Agnieszka

Thanks Julie I loooooove the sharks, I can't believe I haven't seen them before, would have made an awesome wedding / bridal photo .... hmmm

So in the first did you add some kind of ferns for texture over the top? It is freakin' awesome, whatever you did. I sit here amazed. (I went to your website looking for some inspiration yesterday and you certainly do deliver on that... Thanks!)

I love the dreamy effect of that first one. Very fantasy-like with the floating sharks and your perfect pp. Awesome shot!!

Thanks Mitchell! The only thing I wish ... - well, there are 2 things; !. That there was no bush behind them + 2. that the shark on the left wouldn't align with the tree, but I couldn't find a better position for myself to stand as it was a bit swampy & I didn't bring my wide angle lens that day... Oh well

Thanks Heather lust Yup, the original photo actually reminded me of a photo I took once of some woods in Maine ... there was a lot of fern on the ground (GOOD EYE!!!) Hehe ... So I just distorted the trees so they match the perspective of this photo, and voila Maybe I'll try an other version with more fern, so the bush behind won't stick out as much ....

I am already planning my next trip out there this time with a bride .... Just haaaaave to re-take the shot ..... maybe sometime this summer

+1. It's all cool, but somethign about the elongated height of the trees combined with that processing just makes it utterly magical. bow

I was worried I took it over the (kitsch) edge. Kinda curious what the couple thought when they saw it first ... Haha. Glad you like it. Thanks DivaMum!
