“Watch Me Burn”
The other day, Mari and I went to Malibu beach, here in California. Surprisingly, this was my first time shooting at the beach even though I spent a better part of a decade in California. It was a sunny and beautiful day but not without a huge scare: I almost dropped my camera into the sea and gashed my shin on a sharp rock while trying to keep the 60D out of water. I daresay I impressed the lady with my emergency camera-saving jiu-jitsu.
The shot above was shot on a sandbar (see reflection in Mari’s eyes) with a 85mm f1.8 at f4.5. The sun was right above. I’m also experimenting with the square format.
If I can get off my lazy arse, I will attempt to write a bit about what I learned while shooting at the beach.
Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteNice shot.
I'll be looking forward to learning some tricks about how to deal with bright light and lots of UV. Not that we often have bright light in western PA, but those few times we do, I've found it hard to deal with.
