I must have been a hundred metres away when I first saw the potential for this shot on a local beach, this afternoon. It had been cloudless all day and the only colour visible, as I walked into the low, late afternoon sun, was created by this translucent windbreak, and the shadows being projected on to it.
Drawing as little attention to myself as I knew how, I approached to within a few feet while the occupants enjoyed the sea air and the warmth of a spring afternoon. I only got off three frames before I was noticed; the people became more self conscious of the camera, and the spontaneity was lost.
50mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor. 1/3200 second at f/8. ISO 200
