My husband laughs as I try to take photos of families and children on the beach without them knowing it! Not to be sneaky or anything, I just see a shot and I have to take it.
I have nothing but my everyday camera, a Canon SD960 Powershot. No huge digital camera & lens for all to see. So nobody becomes uncomfortable at the sight of camera lens in their direction. Totaly candid.
Sometimes I am too far away & they appear a bit grainy. Actually, I like them to look that way at times, in black and white.
I make my way ...ever so quietly near an oncoming family....and Click! Got it! Now ... if I can find them tomorrow, I will introduce myself',get their email and be sure to get the shot to them. My hubby calls me the 'beach stalker'!
I ask permission if it's a little one, playing in the sand etc. ,so that the folks don't get nervous
I will take a walk down the beach tomorrow and find the family. They will probably think I am nuts, ....but that does'nt bother me one bit. :)
What a lovely day.
....And I got the shot. I love how the little girl is hoppin' behind in the sand.
There a few beachshots in my slideshow at the bottom of the blog from a few years ago. Took those on our last visit here.
