Heath OFeeI didn’t do this on purpose, but it seems as though I’ve completely bookended my trip with the first two photos I’m posting. Yesterday’s image was the first frame I took on the beach, and today’s HDR is the third to last set of brackets I shot before leaving Mexico.
This chess set is in the lobby of the Excellence Riviera Cancun where we spent our honeymoon. As soon as I walked in on the first day and saw these large table boards with the huge carved wooden playing pieces, I knew I had to get a shot of them before I left. I also knew I would be throwing on my 50mm to get some super shallow depth of field and some nice bokeh on some of those playing pieces. I don’t usually choose to go with an angled frame, but I thought it would work nicely here, and I wasn’t disappointed.
No yet!!! hahaha Great Shot Buddy.. 🙂
Love this shot. Could be use for advertising, etc.
Love this composition and dof. Works very well!
Love that f/1.4 and your choice of diagonal framing… Great shot Heath!
Heath,
Did you have any time for honeymooning? Your new bride is a keeper. Mine would probably have made me leave my camera at home! 🙂
I love this shot! The angle makes it! Great job, and congratulations.

Lovely shot buddy!
Pretty pretty bokeh indeed. Nice job hand holding an odd angle shot like this, very cool!
This is excellent. Great angle and bokeh!
Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
John: She is definitely a keeper…and don’t worry, my camera spent most of the honeymoon safely tucked away in my bag 😉
