Beach Fun

How do you, carrying a big camera with an enormous lens, can get a perfect stranger to smile and pose to you? That's one of the basic skills you need have if you're into photojournalistic style of shooting as i tried to be during last summer. As I see it: your way to enter the scene, your personality and how you deal with people in everyday life is in important role when you gain (speechless) permission to shoot them with a camera. A smile, genuine interest in what they do and not being aggressively active and jumping in on their lives is the ticket for photos like this. And always remember to offer them a view to your LCD if you get a good shot - they'll love it!
