Cool coasts: Gray Malin's amazing aerial beach photos 超酷：攝影師Gray Malin驚人空拍海灘照
(CNN)Who doesn't want to be basking on a
balmy beach right now?
有誰現在不想在溫暖的海灘上曬日光浴？
Those who can't hop on a flight to Copacabana or Capri on a whim
can still surf, swim or relax vicariously through Gray Malin's stunning aerial
beach photography.
這些不能跳上飛機飛往科帕卡瓦納（Copacabana）或是卡布里島的人，還是可以透過攝影師Gray Malin驚人的沙灘空拍攝影代替衝浪、游泳，放鬆一下。
Malin, the New York Times-bestselling author of 2016's
photography book "Beaches," dangles from open-sided helicopters to
shoot stunning beach life images in Sydney, Lisbon and everywhere in between.
Malin，紐約時代雜誌2016最熱銷的攝影集「海灘」作者，懸吊於一側敞開的直昇機，拍攝從雪梨，到里斯本的每一個角落，所有有美麗海灘的城市的驚人的海灘生活影像。
Malin's first foray I nto
his now-famous beach photography started in Miami's South Beach.
Malin目前成名的攝影集的第一場冒險是從邁阿密的南方海灘開始。
"It feels like you're in St. Tropez, with
the beach clubs, the umbrellas..." Malin says, and seeing the area from a
unique point of view prompted his quest to capture the globe's most beautiful
coastal destinations from above.
「這感覺很像你在聖特羅佩的沙灘俱樂部、有很陽傘…」Malin表示，從一個獨特的角度來看這個地區，促使他探索從上空捕捉全球最美的沿海景點。
Some of his travel images have him more down
to earth, however, as seen in his newly unveiled series, "The Art of
Living," which includes both aerial and eye-level perspectives of
Polynesian paradise Bora Bora.
他的某些旅遊照片顯示他在地面上，不過在他未發表的新系列作品中「生活的藝術」包含了空拍和人眼的角度所看到的玻里尼西亞天堂波拉波拉島。
'Teeny piece of paradise'天堂的碎片
"Bora Bora is sort of a fantasy place for people, where
what you see is hard to believe," Malin told CNN at the launch of his
recent month-long exhibition at Le Meridien Piccadilly in London, which
included a retrospective of his "Follow Me" works in Barcelona and
Bhutan.
「波拉波拉島對人類來說是個仙境，你所看到的一切都讓人難以置信」Malin在他發布最近為期一個月在倫敦皮卡迪利艾美酒店的展覽訊息時，這麼告訴CNN，該展出包括他在巴賽隆納及不丹的作品「Follow Me」回顧。
Malin shot "The Art of Living" series at Le Meridien
Bora Bora, with many images featuring the jagged, dramatic Mount Otemanu in the
background.
"[Bora Bora] is literally this teeny piece of paradise, a
coral reef in the middle of this giant ocean," Malin says.
Malin在波拉波拉島艾美酒店的攝影作品「生活的藝術」系列，以鋸齒狀、戲劇化的Mount Otemanu為背景，「『波拉波拉』字面上的意思是天堂的碎片，一塊珊瑚礁在這片汪洋大海中央」Malin描述著。
"I would tell anyone to take a helicopter tour of Bora
Bora; it's stunning."
Out of the countless beaches he's visited, which destination,
according to Malin, is the most underrated?
「我會告訴所有來波拉波拉島的人，一定要搭一趟直昇機之旅，真的很驚人」根據Malin的描述，在他閱覽無數的沙灘，這次造訪的地點是最被人們所低估的？
"Cape Town, South Africa, which happens to be my favorite
beach destination," he says. "I went to Cape Town for the first time
three years ago and I've been every year since."
「南非開普敦，這是我最喜歡的一段旅程」他說「我第一次去開普敦是在三年前，而且從此之後我每年都會去」
What makes a great beach?
For Malin, it's on-site amenities like loungers, umbrellas and
food service -- as well as the sight of roaming pets.
怎樣算是一個超棒的海灘？
對Malin來說，是在岸邊的愜意，像是漫步的人、陽傘及餐飲攤販—還有寵物愜意的漫步在眼前。
"Any beach where a dog's allowed to run free is a great
beach," he says.
