A portrait under the Huntington Beach Pier
Caleb had his camera too, however tried using it as a shovel in the sand!
Thankfully V-Tech builds a solid kids camera and I was able to get it cleaned easily!

takes Caleb to the far left… was it a good decision?
Hey bud, I 100% agree with you. However all the shots with Caleb in the center where I wanted him, he's not smiling or looking at the camera. LOL he was more interested in playing in the sand. This shot was the best with him looking. Unfortunately from a composition standpoint, it wasn't what I was after.
What's funny is when I tell him to smile... he repeats me with the word "Smile, smile, smile..."
BTW, what's your first name if you don't mind me asking?

Technically I could have. However I was on a tripod, plus, he seriously was moving around so much. My son doesn't like to stay still for so long. He definitely get's that from me! ha ha ha
Thanks again... as mentioned in our message. I was originally after him in the center, and didn't even think about positioning him on the right, (like I had the choice anyway
)... your positioning of him here I think looks the best. Kudos! Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.

The scene has plenty of water and sand…
just carry a pound of cement in your bag!
