Beach Time


This was a fun day for the fam at Pacific City at the Oregon coast.  My boys were primarily just playing with the sand and were not terribly distracted with dad hovering around them with a huge camera and an annoying flash.  I was able to take many candid shots and simply played with the flash in filling in shadows.  Kinda neat to also fool around with the composition with the background but as well as the foreground.  Here I wanted to give it some depth with the aperture but as well with my youngest being in the foreground and the big rock in the background.  It keeps your eye moving from the front to the back while being framed by the log on the lower portion of the shot.
