Nightswimming


Beach chairs in the moonlight. A new favorite of mine. I really like how this one turned out. Exposure time was a little more than 15 minutes.

One thing that made it even more cool was that the girls came along with me on the shoot. It's usually too cold or too late or a little too dangerous for them to be out with me under the moonlight. But a pretty warm winter, long nights and a location I feel comfortable with made it possible this time. They were excited about going and we had a blast.

We were far away from any man made light so exposure times using only moonlight were fairly long. I would set up the shots with the help of my trusty assistants and then after the shutter was opened, we had a while to play and talk and walk on the beach. Just an incredibly cool night and now I have this shot as a souvenir.

On another note, the new Pensacola Visitor's Guide is out and a Panhandlin' image graces the cover. There are several more scattered throughout too. You can see the PDF version here: The Pensacola Visitors Guide. Or you can pick one up at the Visitor's Center if you're in the area.
