Fishing On The Beach

By ClassyShots written 7/10/06 7:50 AM, published 7/10/06 7:50 AM

This set is from the coast trip. One evening as I was walking back up to the parking area from the beach I meet a man walking down to go fishing. The idea hit me for late evening shots of someone fishing down there. The following evening when I went down he and his family were already down there fishing. I asked permission to take some shots of him, his dad and his daughter fishing. He said no problem. They were from Idaho and I gave him one of my cards and told him if he would email me when he got home I'd send him a CD with copies of the photos.

These are four of the shots.

I know.. kind of different for me. I don't take many people shots.

I put them up on my site in a private area so they could see them before I sent the CD off today. They seemed pretty happy with them. Great family. I'm glad I got the chance to meet, talk with and shoot them. Maybe our paths will cross over there again.

Man and girl fishing. The white caps are great, the light perfect. I like the man showing proper technique. That is neat and personal.

Nice, enjoyable, as usual, they look so easy to shoot, but there is a lot of thought behind them, nice lighting and composition.
