shallow focus photography of brown sea shell at the seashore

I didn’t even set up the shells the way they are, but it was just begging me to take the picture.

I have horrible memory, so it’s only fitting that I’m a photographer. That’s usually why I carry my camera anywhere I go and this was no exception; I was just trying to capture some images while on vacation with my girlfriend and her family. Her father is also an avid photographer and we soon hit up a conversation about cameras (favorite lens, nikon vs canon etc.), before I knew it, we were competing for picture of the day as per request of the rest of the family. Though I didn’t win, this was my “Shot of the Day”

I was on vacation in Barbados with my friends from university in may 2016. Barbados is right next door to the island I’m from (St. Vincent) and though I’ve always heard about it’s beaches, I was in awe of the beauty in person. This was the first picture I took at this particular beach named “Brandon’s Beach” and is one of my favorite pictures of the whole trip because I couldn’t believe paradise was just in my backyard.
