Playing on the Beach in April

previous / next

This was shot the same hot April day as the previous photo. It was a gorgeous day but as walked the beach a sudden cold wind came up and swept across the beach chasing most of us off since we were mostly not dressed for it since temps that day had topped off near 90°. If you look along the horizon you can see a defined line of what looks like clouds but I think it was an anomaly caused by the cold air wave that came in since it never did get cloudy. As soon as you got inland the temps were back up in the 80's.

Wow - that shallow DoF really makes the colors soar. Great!

Love the DOF, too - it feels so intimate to the action, privileging the umbrella kids over those just beyond. Gorgeous colours.

Such a happy pre-summer image. And, yes...that horizon layer is interesting. Now I know they took the flag from San Francisco's Castro district over to Fresno for the demonstration for marriage equality, but was unaware they were turning it into an umbrella for you folks in Jersey. Love the framing and colors here.
