Hanu at Chapoquoit beach on 2021-04-21
Ben and Hanu were the only kiteboarders today on what turned out to be a terrific late afternoon at Chapoquoit beach.
I got my second Covid vaccine this morning and spent the afternoon photographing Hanu and Ben. Great day!
I was in the parking lot getting ready to leave when I looked back at the beach and saw the imposing sky. I grabbed my Olympus EM1 MK iii camera with a Panasonic 10-25, f1.7 lens and ran out to get the picture. At first, I was planning just to take a snapshot of the beach and the sky, but Hanu’s kite was still on the beach, and I thought it would make a good foreground element. Then Hanu walked into the scene to start packing up his kite, which was even better for building interest in the photograph. I like the cloud structure and the shaft of light on the right side of the picture.
