Windhund

It was windy at last year's Dewey. And kind of rainy. And windy. It was like this for five days.

And I couldn't think of a better title.
 
This is Jen and Kasey braving the wind and ocean spray during her session. I was trying to show their small figures in context with the large waves pounding the beach and the big overcast sky. Not really breaking any new ground here: it's just a woman and her Greyhound.

We had the entire beach to ourselves because nobody in their right mind would spend a lot of time out there.

But still, it is a picture of Jen and Kasey on a windswept beach during the worst weather I've ever experienced at Dewey. And it counts for something because I've rarely taken pictures in bad weather like this and made the best of it. Fortunately the wind and spray didn't bother either of them at all.


(Shot with the Nikon D600 and 105mm lens; shutter-priority with shutter set to 1/1000 second, f/7.1 at ISO 100; center-weighted metered; auto white balance; shot in RAW, converted to DNG, and imported into Lightroom.)

  1. Your title was a bit deceiving. I was already thinking, Windhund, I don't remember seeing any Windhunds at Dewey! But it is an appropriate title.

  2. The couple of times I went to Dewey years ago, both had near hurricane weather blow through.

    1. i'm not hoping for a repeat this year. my friends made staying in the rental during the storm much more bearable.

  3. The title definitely works, and I think it's kind of a neat shot!

    1. it was my first taste of how stormy the atlantic can be, although it certainly could've a whole lot worse.
