Backs to the Beach

For many, summer means trips to the beach or a family vacation to a beach resort. The beach of choice for my family, for the past couple of years, has been Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Different then the classic boardwalk beach towns on the New Jersey shore, or even Maryland’s own Ocean City, Rehoboth Beach has wonderful beaches and a great town to explore with something for both kids and adults alike.
As I was sitting on the beach watching my kids play in the sand and at the waters edge, I started to take some photos of others around me. This photo opportunity turned into this subject exploration, Backs to the Beach. Once the idea came to me, I grabbed my gear and took several walks up and down the shoreline to capture the images here.
Shooting conditions were not the greatest. The skies, for most of the time, were grey and overcast with the sun only peaking through every now and then. In those moments, I was there and ready to grab that golden light. These images were all taken with a Canon 40D DSLR and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Lens. The images were processed using Lightroom and enhanced in Photoshop using the Nik Software’s Viveza 2 filter. All images are presented here in a 16:9 letterbox format.
