My wonderful girlfriend invited me to have dinner with some of her close friends cousin that she has not seen in some 7+ years now and with my trusty Canon SD780IS pocket camera we were off for a evening on the town and beach as fate may have it. While we were on the beach I started playing around with this little camera that I thought would not be able to capture anything interesting but low and behold after about 10 minutes of fumbling around in the menu I was able to snap a picture that almost reminds me of oil on canvas.

Girls Beach Night

What is really interesting about this photo? I noticed you become interested in what the girls are talking about and noticing they are wearing light jackets and have their arms crossed to keep warm. Then there are the distant lights from the local condo’s and street reflecting off the crashing waves to the far right of the picture, while all the time the beach holds the lovely ladies in comfort. It is a fairly simple picture but there is so many interesting aspects going on. The surpising thing, this is San Diego County, California in the middle of June usually a pretty comfortable time of year, even at night.

Anyway I am pretty amazed a small little pocket camera can accomplish something like this.
