| I’m a slow traveler who loves nature and uncrowded destinations. I have traveled through other parts of Europe, South America and the Caribbean but I have yet to find a place of so much unspoilt beauty, virtually crime-free, with the infrastructure of a first world country (France). I also have a personal connection to this island since it is the birth place of my grand father. | |
| I've put together these photos to share with you a bit of this mountain island, the side most tourists don't get to see. My friend Philippe has kindly shared some albums of his hikes to Corsica here and here. To return to my main site click the MAIN SITE link above. Thanks for dropping by! Corsica Journeys Liz |

I like the photo of “Plage de Loto on the Northern coast”. The tree line really draws a great perspective of an on looker discovering a paradise. The photo of “Santa Giulia, in the South” is also a beautiful scene but try to to keep in mind who or what your subject is and focus in that by your composition. For example if I were to shoot the same scene and my subject was the lady I would have gotten way closer and no matter what I did there would still be some background. If I were to focus on the scene I would try to eliminate the female all together and get lower to the dock. I think you got the idea when it comes to the rule of thirds it fairly simple but the creativity and challenge arise when creating a composition that draws the viewers attention to the point on the third. Don’t take anything that I said as criticism I myself will always seek to be a great amateur. I hope one day I can photograph in Corsica myself. Cool site.
Thanks Dean, I appreciate getting a comment from a real pro. Your comment makes a nice addition to my recent post on the main site. I think I will link to it to show the “framing” technique using tree branches. The two photos on the bottom were taken BEFORE I knew anything about composition but I appreciate your feedback. I love your website too. Some of your photos look like something out of Vanity Fair magazine. Keep up the good work!
