[素人外拍] - 圣岛扒扒走

这是汤姆第二次在新加坡圣淘沙岛的海滩拍摄。汤姆上一次在这拍摄是在2011年尾, 拍摄2位穿比基尼的麻豆。（虽然至今我还没有机会上传她们的照片…）

拍摄Kellen是一个没有预案的外拍计划。汤姆本来是预约了一位新加坡的麻豆进行街头时尚拍摄的…但当天麻豆突然有要务不能赴约 (…晴天霹雳…!!)

因这次是个没有预预备的外拍…Kellen 也无法在最后一分钟准备多余的衣服更换, 真是一套衣服从头拍到底 (其实这样也节省了不少时间...) 如果我们能有更加丰富多彩的服装，肯定能创造一个更好的整体(配色部分)感觉以反映当天的主题 - "海滩玩乐"！

因Kellen短裤的颜色是非常接近沙滩沙粒的原色…所以就略毫改选拍摄的场地和景点, 这索性连主题也一起给改成 - 圣岛扒扒走!

为了尽量避免任何可能的灰尘和沙子进入相机的感光元件，所以我决定只使用1支镜头拍完. 这次还是用上我最信任的"小白" - EF70-200mm F2.8L IS II USM。我必须承认当这镜头配上我唯一的主力 - 佳能EOS 1D Mark IV相机时有点失焦的糟糕情况。就这样，我决定把我所有的镜头送往佳能的CPS中心做一次透顶的焦点校准工作。（上周，我做到了，现在的焦点是非常针锐利哦！）

我真的希望我能有架最新的佳能EOS 5D Mark III来拍摄这次的作业。但太可惜了，我还没有存够钱！(救命啊!…就快中毒身亡了!!)

这次拍摄是以汤姆一贯的风格，所有的照片似乎是稍微曝光过度加上稍微低的对比度。汤姆最近似乎都用这种设置拍摄......也许是时候改变了！

This is my second time visited the Pahlawan Beach at Sentosa Island, Singapore. The last time was in year 2011 with 2 Singapore based models for some bikini shot. (I have yet to upload their photos though)

This is an unplanned outdoor session with Kellen. Originally I suppose to have an appointment with a Singaporean model but she couldn't make it on that day! Since this is an unplanned assignment, I didn't prepare Kellen for this shot. She's equally unprepared thus only 1 set of casual outfits for the shot. If we could have more colorful outfits, it definitely create a much better feel to reflect the theme for the day - A walk around the beach! (Is this consider a "theme"….?)

To prevent any sand entering the camera sensor, I decided to use only 1 lens. That's my trusted Canon EF70-200mm F2.8L IS II USM. I must admit that this lens exhibit a slight "out of focus" shots when pair with my only workhorse - the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV. There are number of photos being slightly soft. In order to rule out the possibility of an "User's problem", I decided to send all my lenses back to Canon's CPS center for a good calibration works. (Which I did last week and the focus is now pin sharp!)

I wish I could have the latest Canon EOS 5D Mark III for these shots but too bad..I haven't save enough money for it! (Mark III..hang in there for me…am coming..soon!) As my usual style lately, all photos appear slightly over-exposure with less contrast. I seems shooting these kind of setting more lately....perhaps it's time for a change!
