Summer breeze, sand between your toes, long walks along the coastline. Reminiscences of summer.
At the end of the afternoon, threre was some interesting light developing. Just checking if this seascape will be a keeper. Exposure 1,5 sec, F/27 at 70 mm for the ICM one, 1/125 at F/16 for the straight one.

Strolling along the flood line, 21 degrees, nice sun, a pleasant lunch ahead ... what else does one want?

I unexpectedly came across a granny with her grandson and dog, when I was walking along the dyke. I walked on until they had passed me, turned a took a few shots. The wind made the results a bit unpredictable. Granny was fighting to divide her attention among controlling her summer dress, the boy and the dog. She was very alert and when she saw me with that large camera it was quickly over. Exposure 1/4 sec at F/27 @ 300 mm.

This majestic dog is apparently a hunter, endlessly patient, ready to fetch what its master has caught or shot or in this case fished out of the water.

(From my archive) Nice beach to go for a short walk after a healthy dish at the fish restaurant, and smell the water. There shouldn't be any dogs here unless on the leash, but nobody cares. Sent this one and the ones below in for the Water theme for the ICM Network. Shutter speed 0,6 sec, F/45, 300 mm, ISO200, jittery movement moving to the right.

There he goes, a poodle that's afraid of the water under his right arm and a greyhound on a leash on the other side, the Dogman. Gosh, suppose he lets this greyhound go, I thought. At that very moment he stooped and unleashed it. OK: on a narrow beach capturing a running greyhound is a mission impossible. So I have to make do with this one. 1/10 sec, F/22, 105 mm, ISO200, horizontal movement from L to R, single shot, no post-processing.
