Life is a Beach...We celebrated the birthday of one of my daughters friends at Clontarf beach recently.
The girls all had a fantastic time celebrating the birthday, swimming and playing and I had the opportunity to take some nice photos. I stuck with the long lens (the 70-300mm telephoto) for most of the day. The Nikon 70-300mm really is a very nice lens and in good light the slower 4.5 to 5.6 maximum aperture doesn't really hinder the shot making. Jumping off the pier into the enclosed protected swimming area. NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 240 mm, 1/1250 sec at f / 5.6, ISO 200 A shot of one of my daughters friends splashing up the water in front of her with her hands whilst running forward. This was a tricky shot to capture since I was quite a long way away and attempting to focus on the water splash with a minimal depth of field whilst everything was moving - this was probably luck NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 250 mm, 1/1000 sec at f / 5.6, ISO 200 My youngest daughter giving me the "look" NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 210 mm, 1/1000 sec at f / 5.3, ISO 200 and another one NIKON D90 + 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 220 mm, 1/1000 sec at f / 5.3, ISO 200 D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Life is a Beach...I like the second shot, its a shame the two kids in teh front are just in the way. I think a bit of crop to focus on the droplets and the girls face, just enough to remove the other kids would be a worthy improvement.
The last shot is also nice, good use of some negative space to add something a bit extra to a standard portrait shot.... gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
