One in Color...

...and an overexposed background. Don't ever let girls talk you into letting them sleep (then eat slowly and shower and do their hair...) so that by the time you get to the beach to shoot a few photos the sun is just about straight up . On our last vacation when my kids wanted to boogie board it was overcast and cold...but this trip we got the nice sunny weather...go figure.

Did you use fill flash? I've been working on shooting in this situation. I'm trying to expose for the sky and then let the fill flash expose my subject. Haven't perfected it yet, but it does work.

Yeah Cindy, I did try that, but like you I haven't quite perfected it and those look like I used flash. The hardest part of the shoot was that I couldn't really view the LCD screen and adjust, it was so bright out that I had trouble seeing the pics as I was shooting. Oh well....live and learn!

I finally learned how to do this, last weekend in Portland. It is so cool!! But you need a flash and a flash meter. Super easy. Let me know and I can talk you through it.
