End of the day

Lagoas de Santo André bw 2.jpg

I like evenings on the beach. Kids are tired. Dogs are tired. People are slowly packing their stuff and going home.

Besides that, the low sun gives such cool, long shadows. It is the perfect time (or a sunrise if you are an early birdie) to get some silhouettes. I never felt comfortable shooting people and showing their faces online. Shooting against the sun, I don't have to worry about it. All I get is the shapes which is just perfect!

There was this very long path between the car park and the sandy beach. It was turning right and left a few times to make it more interesting. If I wanted to be extra annoying I could just sit on one of the benches there and shoot :)

Instead, I tried to catch the moments when there were less people on it and use zoom.

The man below seemed like he wanted to pose. He saw me shooting and just stood there.
Or he just didn't give a crap :p

And then the beach was getting emptier and emptier.
Nobody was using the chairs anymore. The shadows from the umbrellas were not attractive enough either.

What a lovely time of the day!

I did not wait for the sunset. It would be a bit boring without a single cloud on the sky. For that I have to go back in late fall or winter.

Wow!! This dear friend is amazing, the pictures are amazing as well as the backstory and the black and white just gave it a more emotional and nostalgic feeling.

I cannot enjoy beach but I like to walk in the evening and the reason is the same as yours.

Oh, the posing man!
He maybe spotted you but didn't know it would be such a cool photo!!! 🙌

Imagine this: If he could find this photo of himself one day, somehow, many years later, I think he would be happy with it. 📸

Maybe I should have shown him :) I am pretty sure he would like it.

Hello dear friend @ewkaw good night
What a beautiful place, I am passionate about beaches, I love monochrome photos, these look awesome, the shadow projections you got, and without worrying about people's faces is amazing.
Have a happy start to the week

Pretty good picture shot. And I think the place is also quite interesting with the relaxing spots available.

I love your writing, and pictures of course! I felt like I was there. Very funny this man maybe posing for you, or perhaps he was so tired that didn’t even care about moving. Very beautiful post!

You are right, it is a very lovely time of the day (to live it there), but notice that these pictures also make us live it intensely.

Thank you

Thank you!
The evening is probably my favourite time of the day anyway. No matter where :)
