Second Batch of Honeymoon Photos

Some additional images from the Honeymoon. I think we both feel the same way – we should never have come home.

I saw some references on one of the forums devoted to Leica enthusiasts (read: freaks) asking about some of my editing techniques. Unless you have specific questions, all I can say is that I load them into photoshop. I work mostly in Adobe Camera Raw. Then I do touch ups in photoshop. Usually less than 5 minutes per photo. Only a special case (something akin to an HDR…) requires more than that. These are the photos that I love taking because I take them for me. (Or in this case – I took them for us; both me and the Leica Lady, Emily Therese.)

September 2011 – Urban Aces magazine does a feature on Sid Vintage. Emily Therese and I were brought in to do the photos. I decided shooting in the store would be a great way to capture the venue along with showcasing how much GREAT STUFF they have for sale there.

First Batch of Honeymoon Photos

 

The previous photos from our Honeymoon were edited on the Honeymoon with Adobe Lightroom. I had never really used Lightroom previous to this trip… but it was all I had. I honestly felt pretty naked – despite the fact that I really only edit in Adobe Camera Raw. But the ability to use some of my presets for raw processing was bugging me. So now I am back in my digital darkroom… and I was able to get through some that I wanted to share.

The Leica Lady and I went to Praiano, Italy for our Honeymoon. We had been in Italy a few years earlier but only saw Rome, which honestly, our experience there paled in comparison to our experience in Paris just days earlier. So this was something completely different. For those of you who don’t know where Praiano is – it’s part of the amalfi coast (or basically the Shin – of the boot of Italy).

We spent about 5 days there… and had an amazing trip.

The Leica People in the Mirror - Taken on the side of the road in Praiano, Italy. I look like I am in the fun house part of the mirror.The Residents - According to wikipedia, there are a little over 2000 residents of Praiano. They live in houses like this.Colors-a-go-go - The colors of the old and new caught my eye. c17-L1000492a.jpgc18-L1000496a.jpgHarrison - Harrison = Non Deo, Fortuna = Not God, LuckThe Leica lady - Emily Therese with Leica M9-P   50mm f/1 Noctilux in Praiano Italy at one of the many views overlooking the beautiful amalfi coastline.Emily Therese walks to town - Emily Therese and I walked the line into town at least 2km each and every day. Sometimes multiple times. A face smiles from the wall - A town of artists - this face smiles from the wall of a nearby artisan. The Black Shirt hangs - Why use dryers when you can use the beautiful sea air.Built into the cliffs - The entire area is built into the cliffs of the amalfi coast. Bedazled - Someone is stylish. Cave Canem - Beware of DogSteps in theater - These were steps in a theater of Pompeii. The Red Vespa - It sat mocking me as we almost approached town after walking almost 2km.Plaza at night - Emily Therese and I ate overlooking this plaza three lunches in a row. Two of the nights we were there - they had these luminari shows. Interesting stuff... not worth the wait for it to start.I think hers is better - Emily Therese, the Leica Lady, and I saw this shot at the same time. We took it very differently. I think hers is better. Steps Up and Down - Since the city was built into a cliff, the roads are all levels horizontal along the cliffside. So there are these tiny roads going up and down connecting the horizontal streets.Sunset at dinner - We were eating dinner when I saw this from our amazing tableside view. Walking back  - Not really anywhere to park around here. I noticed this when walking back from that lights show at the plaza by San Giannaro.Color Scheme - To me - there are only three colors in this photo.Behind the theater  - Pompeii. The stuff behind the stage at the theater that we saw.Leica Lady looking gorgeous - The Leica Lady looks gorgeous as she takes a picture with a chrome M9-P equipped with 50 f/1 noctilux lens.Another connector road - Interesting framing of the road connecting other roads.Stairway to heaven - Random stairways leading up or down - some no longer being used. The Leica Lady  - with her daily cappuccino at Bar del SoleWe at here - at the overpriced Il Pirata that first night. It was good, but there was better.Street signs - before the tunnel of cool air on our walking trip downtown.c8-L1000712.jpgc80-L1000527a.jpgc80-L1000706a.jpgc81-L1000415a.jpgc83-L1000710a.jpgc84-L1000430.jpgc84-L1000494a.jpgc85-L1000708a.jpgc87-L1000483a.jpgc88-L1000422.jpgc91-Sunset.jpgc95-L1000709.jpgc98-L1000588.jpgL1000471a.jpg
