On the beach

djengizz · Jan 14, 2006

I'm trying new things with my photography these days (less landscapes and birds).
So today i went to the beach and instead of running around chasing subjects i pretty much staid on the same strip of sand for about an hour.
This is what came out:

#1

#2
Sorry, one more bird

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

#8

I hope it gives a bit of the candid feel i intended.
C&C welcome.

You did good :thumbup:

Maybe crop out some of the sky in #1?
I really like the abstract in #5.
But, I think #4 is my fav of the series.

It's not just you. I used extra in-camera saturation and a polarizer. Tweaked a little in PS as well.

Great work - the series really instilled the feeling of people enjoying the beach. Nice compositions as well.

I agree about cropping the top of #1 a bit, and possibly moving the dog out of the center of the image. Might be a good effect to put him on the right side and let him jump into the photo.

I like the saturation and don't think it's too much.

Really nice job.
