People You Meet at the Beach

I stayed after, really late, after a silhouette beach session, and while these fishermen were in a few of our shots, I didn't mind. I asked if they didn't mind if I took their picture. They agreed, and suddenly, almost by magic, a fish was hooked. It was so much fun watching him reel it in. I spoke with the younger fisherman, and found out that the gentleman was turning 80 this fall, and they wanted the pictures for his slide show. I was so happy to be able to provide some pictures for their slide show, but really wish I would have known earlier when my light was better. It was so dark by the time I started hanging out with them. Next time, I'm bringing my video light to the beach. I think that would have helped tremendously. Lesson learned, and I got amazing photos anyway. I'm hoping to catch them again one of these nights. It would be great. #blog
