p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · San Juan Islands //FPJ (too many)


I haven't been taking enough photos lately, but just recently got back from the San Juan Islands on a family vacation and had a chance to have a camera in hand for a bit. Due to trying to minimize the luggage space, these were all taken with an EOS-M and 22mm as well as a few with an old MF 50mm. I'll apologize in advance for the overshare, but any and all C&C is very welcome.
Best,
Dave

The area is beautifully forested with lots of fire and game trails throughout, often leading to rocky beaches

My eldest and I often rowed to town in the afternoons for minor shopping/bribery.

There are amazing beaches covered in driftwood and seagulls to chase

False Bay is a fascinating intertidal zone replete with lots of invertebrate diversity and "sticky mud".

Some nice captures here. Overall my crit would be too many backs of heads and not enough getting low to the kids level. A lot of the angles are from up high looking down, personally I prefer the look of my kids images when I'm down low on ground to their level like 26, 27 etc. compared to the first one which doesn't give as much of the sense of their experience. Also some separation of the people in the last silhouette would be easier to identify that they are people, seems like a blob whereas if they were spaced and holding hands you could see your family better, also again even better (IMHO) would be to get lower and put them against the sky so their shape is more well defined and accented with the orange. Just my 2 cents.

Enjoyed the set overall, but on my second go through (a few days apart) this one stands out to me for its compositional balance.

Some of my favs:

3, 8, 25, 28,29

8 might work better in BW - you have a lot of textures and lines that might be empasize monochromativally.
Ditto for 29 - BW would be fantastic here!!!!!

25 - simple, but beautiful and whimsical at the same time.

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.
Steve, I usually try to be cognizant of being on the kids level, but that's a good reminder.
Thanks Evan, I didn't initially like that one much but it grew on me.
Thanks Ben, I'll convert 8 and 29 and take a look.
Best,
Dave
