When I was at the beach, I saw someone actually holding a seagull. I asked him if I could take a photo of the bird in his arms.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the phrase “Go Fly A Kite”, I would have a bunch of nickels 😉 I might even have enough wind with Hurricane Irene coming soon to fly a kite made of wood.

I liked this photo for the splashing water effect. But a bonus was the expression on the woman’s face from the cold water splashing against her back.

The subject in this photo is the ocean and just the ocean. No boats,swimmers or boogie boarders! Just water as far as the eye/lens can see.

As I have mentioned before, I like capturing shadows. So why not my shadow on the beach? Not very artistic and pretty much silly, but non-the-less, it’s what I wanted to capture at the time. To me, that’s what photography is all about. Enjoy!

Before you ask… I don’t have a seagull or bird fetish. Now that I have that out of the way and have your attention… I liked the composition of this photo.
TIP: When photographing small animals or other subjects low to the ground, it helps to get to their level. So I was pretty much on my stomach when taking this photo on the beach. Let me know what you think.

A lot of the pictures I took at the beach were on the spur of the moment like the one of my daughters feet sinking into the sand. At the time I took it, I didn’t think I was going to post this photo, but afterwards I thought it would be a good one. Let me know what you think.

Here is a simple photo of ocean water on the beach. I figured, why not?

Here is a photo of my daughter running from me. She wanted me to chase her. So I did. If you happen to go to Hampton Beach in the next couple of days, can you please look for her? She was so fast I couldn’t keep up.

HAHAHAH Just kidding. She’s home safe and sound.

Here is a view from where we were on the beach.
