Travel: A quick Holiday

So life has been a touch hectic of late. More weddings than I can shake a stick at and then everything else in between. As such Holly and I decided to take a quick break and visit her Grandfather in Gibraltar (Holly’s also been working like crazy on the fourth plinth project in Trafalgar Square…). We also decided to take a quick bus trip to Seville (well OK we thought it was going to be quick, turns out it’s 5hrs and as such I rescind my earlier statement). Anyway, since I’d been doing so much photography recently I decided to limit my picture taking and try to relax. I’ve been meaning to get some new photos of Holly though so this promised to be the perfect opportunity…

Yes I took my D3 into the pool. Shot with the D3, and a 24-70mm lens. Light is from an Elinchrom Quadra back left providing the ‘sunlight’ and an overcast day providing the fill. Oh and yes, the water was *a touch chilly*

After this we moved onto Seville. Seville is a gorgeous city, enough large streets to feel roomy with lots and lots of pretty side streets to get lost down. Oh and we were greeted by 45° heat at 8pm. Oh and not forgetting the tapas (Alex managed to undo all the good walking he did…). Anyway I traveled light and only took a 50mm lens, and, shock horror, no lights. Ambient it is then. I think it worked out pretty well, I was exceedingly lucky with my model though…

Right well that’s enough for now. Back to editing for me.
More adventures on the way soon!
