Afternoon at the beach....

..in southern Portugal.

The clouds are an extreme blow up. I loved that part of the image and the digital effects of that blowup make it look pretty cool.

Very nice work, Charles. I love that lonely seashell's journey the most.

Thanks as usual. Obviously, took many shots. Debated whether to show a tumbling wave (active) but I thought the restive one keeps in line with the calmness of the rest of the photo.

Lovely work Charles, whereabouts in Portugal - Algarve? We'll be spending a month there later this year.

Like PG, I especially enjoy the beach scene. There is a great balance between sand & ocean, and a sense that the incoming wave will sculpt even more around that solitary shell.

Thanks. Yup. This was taken in Lagos. (Make sure you pronounce it lay-goh-sh.! :-) It's my favorite place in the Algarve.

Paige's booth portrait

Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.
