A Day at the Beach…

by on Oct.17, 2012, under Life, Photography

We spent the afternoon and early evening with some friends and their children on Balmoral Beach. It was a lovely sunny day and the kids had a great time swimming, building sand castles and exploring the beach and the island. I shot mostly with the 85/1.8G and a little with the 70-200/2.8.

Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

We all had fish and chips next to the beach for dinner. After sunset twilight brought out a palette of soft pastel colours in the sky and this branch from on of the large figs provided me with an ideal silhouette against the sky
