A few shots from yesterday evening’s workshop down at the beach in Malibu. It was a little cold out and maybe the water was a little warmer then the air and wind but you never seem to notice it when you’re in groove. Like gargoyles on the side of a building cormorants, gulls and pelicans added a little bit of extra detail to the scene and they also held these photographer’s attention a lot longer then I thought they would.

I really enjoy shooting candids while people are so focused on what they are doing. They’re often so still even during a long exposure you might not capture any movement from them.

If you are photographing a crowded place it can often be difficult to not included people in the landscape so you might as well try to use them to your advantage. Silhouettes are often a fast shot so you don’t have to worry about movement as much because your exposure is going to be a lot faster.
What do you do with people that won't move out of the way? Shoot them!

Those are great photographs. I sure wish I could have been there for that workshop. Mountain and Sea, that’s my cup of tea. The last image would be great without the people, but I feel it is excellent with them. Keep them. Just say no to Photoshop.

Thank you David, if you like standing in cold water you would of loved it! If you get 3 good elements in a photograph take advantage of it.
