The weather was overcast and perfect lighting to do some head shots for a friend. She suggested shooting at the nearby beach as that was her happy place. I made the decision to just bring one camera with my go to 50 mm 1.4 lens as I thought this would be a simple portrait shoot and I didn’t want to chance getting sand in my camera kit. Of course after we finished she walked out on the jetty with her sweet sidekick following in the water and I couldn’t resist shooting this beautiful moment of life . I was a bit bummed that I did not have my telephoto lens with me so I could capture a close up of the way the wind was blowing against her face. It took me some time and a bit of post production to realize the beauty in the shot was all the textures and intrigue that I was able to capture from my sandy foothold. I am always amazed how this lens can be so generous in it’s ability to capture so much.
