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.

Birds are wonderful animals to photograph. When you capture them in flight I can’t explain how that feels as a photographer, but it’s a great accomplishment. Look at this photo a let me know what you think of when you see it.

Finally a sunny day at the beach. I was able to bring out the color of the sky and the sand using HDR photography. Let me know what you think.

Today went left for a couple days at the beach and guess what. It’s raining. But the hotel had an outdoor heated pool which was very very warm. This was my first time swimming in an outdoor pool in the rain.

This photo is a photo right outside our room. You walk out and there is the pool. How cool is that? Unfortunately the WiFi sucks in this place, but the pool makes up for it.

While I was at a local pond, I saw a family of three canoeing together. So as they were floating by, I snapped a bunch of photo’s of them with the continuous mode on. That takes about 6 frames per second. I think the lady on the canoe was looking right at me in this one, it’s hard to tell with the sun glasses. Keep in mind, I do not know these people, but I thought the shot said a lot so I took it. Then I ran to my car and drove off. As I was driving, I saw the family in my rear view mirror bringing the canoe up to the ramp. I wonder if they were trying to stop me. Oh well. I call that move ‘The Snap and Screw’.
