Portfolio 13 of 80

This shot is fairly unusual for me. I normally like "in your face" bright, bold and punchy images that fill the frame. This shot was more of a snapshot.

I had been shooting a beach party for a local real estate agent with volleyball and football, that kind of thing. As the sun set and people made for the beach bar, I looked behind me as I walked from the beach and saw the moon glowing as large as life.

The setting sun also cast a warm glow over the beach and left a pastel coloured look to it. For the last few years, no matter what I am shooting or have shot, I always make a point of looking behind me and have sometimes seen a completely different perspective to that of what I have been photographing.
