Sunbleached | Dominican Republic Resort Photographer
/This past week was our family spring break and we were fortunate to spend to some great family time in the Dominican Republic. We stayed on the eastern seaboard town of Punta Cana. The weather was perfect all week in the mid 80’s. I did bring along my travel camera with a small wide angle lens. I love my travel camera, very lightweight and compact but also a powerhouse when it comes to picture quality and clarity. I took an hour one day and started implementing some bleach bypass film simulation into the “street shooting” I was doing. In the imaging world, this form of expression has in fact frequently been used with some subjects ever since the film era. Known in Japanese as “retaining the silver”, a “bleach bypass” bypasses the step of removing (“bleaching”) the silver halide during development, producing the effect this new film simulation option is designed to emulate. Here’s just a few shots I got but was completely impressed with the result!
