Great way to start your day - viewing beautiful photos
I was scanning my feed backlog this morning (isn't it always a backlog now-a-days :) and saw that Ted had posted an entry in his blog about the recent Sealtle Flickr meetup he attended. Earlier he had sent to me via IM that he was posting some early looks into the photos he had taken and even with them being raw photos with no tweaking I could tell that he a) had a great time and b) had shot some amazing photos! In his post today I think he was reading my mind because he picked two of the photos that just knocked my socks off!
The first photo I just love for it's composition and how he managed to get such colour depth while still not completely washing out the skin tones. The blue in her dress just positivly snaps.
The second photo just makes me drool to be honest. The framing and colour warmth are excellent. Her body position, eye focus, mouth style all just reach and slap me around in a good way :) I think he was telling me she's not a model and was constantly telling him that she needed all kinds of direction - could have fooled me! Like I commented in his blog, the second photo is one I would love to have printed and framed.
So much so I just have to embed it here:
