PHOTOGRAPH INFO

This photo was taken Monday night at the magnificent Island Beach State Park where I spent part of my vacation. We had great beach weather: air temps in the upper 90s, ocean temps in the lower 60s!

Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 24mm, ISO 400, f/9, shutter 1/200s. Curves adjustment and color balancing.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Welcome home. The youth examines the mountains and canyons of the memories of earlier footsteps highlighted by the fading sun.

Man, the light and colors in that sand are absolutely beautiful. I really like the way his skin, hair and blue shirt are more saturated versions of the colors in the sand. Super shot!

Good example of how to make family snapshots that would be interesting for non-family members! Though I think that the family could say "If the boy looked at the camera it would be much better"...

The way the light plays on the sand makes the shot spectacular. Innocence captured!

Playground for all young. Landscape for dreamers. Soft lines. Shape and shadow that silently shift in a symphony of warms and cools. Unending harmony, endless variety.

Sorta like clouds, 'cept clouds don't chafe when they get in your........eyes.

Hope you kept you lens clean and you feet cool.

Shoot, women!

I just love this photo. This is a perfect example of how important lighting is and capturing those perfect times of the day when the light is just right.

You are the master of all you survey. You get to change anything you want as many times as you want. You are free to let your imagination run wild. There is no pressure because the correct answers are the ones you create. You are a bulldozer, an earth mover, a ship's captain, a world changer, a creator, a conqueror, a god.

And when you go home, another dreamer will take your place and the sand will know no difference.
