Day's end
© theo peekstok
At the end of the day, everything goes easier and slower. The man on the waterfront is at ease with his binoculars watching the slowly passing ships. Nothing else happens......

Last week I went to the beach at Hoek van Holland where it is always been very nice shooting from the beach toward the so called New Waterway. Although I only had a compact camera with me, I still have been shooting some nice things, here is one of them.

These kind of pictures are very easy to make, you just have to pay attention and keep your eyes open. Only a few conditions are necessary:
- Backlight, preferably not too hard, so at the end of the day or early in the morning.
- Preferably a thin mist or fog for the right depth in the photo and some more atmosphere.
- A little patience to wait for an interesting situation.

PHOTO INFO:

Location: the beach at Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands.

Equipment used: Panasonic DMC-TZ8

Exif info: F6.3 | 1/2000 | ISO 125 | 49 mm.

Who needs an FF DSLR..... (I do :-)) Excellent Theo, I expected this one here. The prove that a good picture is taken by a good photographer and not by a good camera. Great mood created by the soft light and the man well contrasting with the soft light, vessel and our seagull complete the composition. Congratulations! The short tutorial is appreciated!

Jan
theo peekstok  Thank you Jan for your very nice comment, really appreciated as always.
But frankly, I do also prefer my dslr above this camera. But there are even possibilities to shoot great pictures using a disposable camera, and that's nice to see.

theo peekstok  Inderdaad Frédéric, op het strand bij Hoek van Holland.

Papafrezzo (Frédéric)  Speciale plek. Daar heb ik één van mijn hier gepubliceerde foto's ook gemaakt.
theo peekstok  Klopt, staat ook in het 1X-boek van 2010 als ik het goed heb, sterke foto.
Papafrezzo (Frédéric)  klopt... Ik vind het contrast tussen de haven en de recreatie zo spannend.
