Beauty Portraits: M @ Pattaya Beach

[Zeckson]

I went to Pattaya beach with M and some friends for a short break away from the busy city roads about almost 2 weeks ago. The main purpose was to chill out and had a great day of fun. Along the way, we took some fun pictures as well. Sharing some photos taken on that day.

Zeckson, I feel like I'm being taken for a ride.. You are a professional, and you will benefit in no way from comments received here-your pictures are flawless and professional... Why to you come where with anecdotal questions? You've mastered this.

Hmm... How do I interpret this...? Hee hee hee. Anyway, thank you so much for your comments. It is still true that I am not a photographer, by profession of course. I have a full time day job. Photography is only a hobby for me, well, occassionally being engaged for paid assignments, just occassionally.

I don't dare to admit I am good. Your comments are very encouraging. Thanks for dropping by.

Seriously? You have to ask? These look like they belong in a magazine.

Can you tell us what you used for lighting and how you processed them, please?

For lighting, main light is ambient lighting. I purposely chose to shoot only during the late afternoon till evening time because that was when the golden light was at its best. Beautiful sunset light reflected skin tone beautifully. Believe me on that!

Additional lights were used as side light and fill light. All additional lightings were shot from SB800 and SB600 remote wirelessly. Flash value were manually set in. iTTL worked superbly but under certain conditions, it did not achieve my desired effect so manual dial-in flash value.

There wasn't much of post processing done here because I got most of the lighting in camera while taking the shot. Only the basic commands of levels, sharpen, burning and healing brush.

Thank you for taking your time to view my images. Your comments have been very encouraging.
