Description
The scene is a beach in Oregon, near Astoria, where I spent the day watching and photographing a group of enthusiastic kids playing in the surf, building sand castles, and just being kids. The pictures turned out well, capturing all the necessary detail and the nuances of light and mist needed to paint the scene.
The sky and the clouds and the not-quite foggy appearance of that day are exactly what I saw. If you're familiar with west coast beaches, weather patterns come and go quickly -- but on this day an almost invisible fog diffused and softened the light, bringing a faint chill to the air.
