Labor Day at the beach with a point and shoot
As my 40D is in the shop, I went to the beach armed with a new Canon SD 870 IS. It was fun to use, but I did miss my lenses!
We went to lunch with friends and were seated near a window with great light...
1
We stopped at a little play ground after lunch so the kids could play. Underdog!!!
2
Then we hit the sand and waves...

I truly believe that a photographers best friends are good technique and good light. Now, if I could only get to that point...I might be able to do half as good...
Cheers!

Gotta ask - what happened to the 40D that it's in the shop?

I think a shutter failure.

I just love #6. they look like they're in their own little world, but the amazing depth of focus of those point and shoots (when you're going for this effect, even f22 on my 40d doesn't seem to get there...) remind you that they're in a sea (bad joke) of others.
Beautiful shots!
I gotta ask how you shot #5. Very nice lighting on him, I can't even begin to think how you accomplished this It appears to be somewhat backlit, as if fill flash was the only option to light his face, but as we all know the flashes on P&S are soooo "flashy" and this one looks very natural.
50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 24-70 2.8L, 35mm 1.4L, 135mm f2L

But, however she managed it - it turned out wonderfully.

Thanks, Jeff! The family shot was impromptu. The parents and little ones just happened to be standing together watching their oldest one in the waves. I called her over to join them and fired off about 11 shots. The big rock behind them (Haystack Rock) has meaning to them as it's where their engagment shots were taken 14 years ago. They haven't even seen these yet! I think they'll be pleased.
about the pink camera! I guess whatever works to get one shooting is a good thing.

As we already have a Canon Powershot S2 (ultra-zoom P&S with manual controls) that my son has taken over, we decided to go ultra-compact this time and let it be my husband's. And it's exactly that...a point and shoot! Although for these shots, I did ride the EC and ISO can certainly be adjusted. This cam is great with a 4 gb SDHC card in it...has room for over 1000 pics at the largest size and with an empty card will take 1 hour of video. The video is kinda fun...I used it yesterday to get my son learning to tie his shoes.
On #5, the sun was basically off to my left and as Scott said, the sand was being a nice reflector on his face. In PSE, I also selected his face and chest area and brightened it just a smidge. No flash.
Thanks for the great comments, L!

Yep...I also selected his face and chest in PSE and brightened it just a wee bit.

Maybe she'd be interested in the new Canon Powershot E1.
