During the Sydney Bronte to Bondi Photowalk sponsored by Samsung and Google Australia, Hosted by Colby Brown and Michael Sutton we had a quality rainbow manifest off the coast whilst we were on the Bondi headland where Sculptures by the Sea lives. I changed lenses from my new Sigma 35/1.4 to the Sigma 85/1.4 and added the CPL to help bring out the rainbow.

A newly married couple was on the headland to get some shots done by their photographer (not realising they'd be snapped by hundreds of photowalkers ). When they got around to the tip of the headland for some more shots I figured I'd use them and the rainbow to good effect (their photographer wasn't using the rainbow so I figured I would) - I'm really happy how this one turned out (and yes I know I ended up cutting things very very fine with the feet - I would have preferred a touch more breathing room but ce la vie...)

The Kiss


Love's First Flight


Then a friend and I set about crafting some Samsung ad's using one of their sponsored gifts from the event...

Technicolour …

The kiss is the winner by a long way. It's a beautiful shot, but unfortunately cutting off their feet virtually screws the shot. I couldn't count how many times I've done that !

Great timing though.

Thanks Chris - note that I didn't actually cut off their feet - they are all there - it's just that theres only a pixel or two room below

As luck would have it I had a few more frames after this - they aren't kissing anymore but I had lowered the frame to include more of the ground so I layered the images and shifted the image behind down to reveal more of the ground beneath their feet for a little more breathing room.

Genius.

That few cms moved it from the recycle bin to the keeper file. It's gorgeous.

Now if you only knew who they were, you could name your figure.

They are all good , but I like the last two better.
The last one could be used to advertise the
camera. I like the fun-loving subject; he is quite
a poser.
