My Photography and Travel Blog

Stills and digital artwork


Coastal twilight can be so peaceful. I had just finished up shooting a sunset swimwear shoot and we were walking back up the beach when we cam upon these two fisherman. the young boy disappeared in the shadow of his older brother, but his fishing pole shows sharply just below his big brother’s. Sometimes the beauty of family can simply add so gracefully to the beauty of Mother Nature and her evening colors. Luckily I still had my camera attached to my tripod so grabbing this shot was far too easy for the amount of pride I get from the capture. I know it is not perfect in it’s post production work, but the pure enjoyment of the moment is priceless!

Location: Folly Beach, SC, USA
Equipment used: Nikon D700, Nikkor 24-70 2.8 lens, Induro CT 213 tripod, Induro BHD2 ballhead.

        I’ve come to realize, there are a few of these going around. I didn’t want to re-list my same top 15 bloggers when my 2nd award (different badge) came around. I thought long & hard about my top 15, and didn’t want to give everyone a trophy just for playing, lol! Anyway, you know I love your work, and you continue to inspire me!!!
