So frigid weather sends me back to the archive. Here’s a selection of 2MP jpegs shot early in my digital period with the family Kodak at the beach, with a little modern editing in Capture One. Click any image to see them all enlarged.

A Day at the Beach
Taken several days before the public beaches were shut down here in Florida, a couple of weeks ago, now…
Still Life
(These pictures were shot a couple of weeks ago – everything’s shut now and we’re complying with attempts to halt the spread of Covid-19 by not going out except for necessities).

The French Lieutenant’s Woman?
After Christmas morning coffee in Palm Springs, we drove up to Santa Monica. We arrived before the hotel was ready for us and killed time walking down the beach to Venice and back.

Dune
This is not only a cliché shot, it’s become a cliché within my library of vacation snaps. But what are you going to do? Sand dunes, fences and shadows demand to be photographed!
Deck Chairs
I always like this image from my early digital days. Unfortunately, the file leaves little to work with. Even here on the web, the poor quality is apparent.

I must also have discovered the saturation slider in Photoshop around this time.
Fucus
Judging by the light, this one, and probably the jellyfish too, were shot later that afternoon.

Another mangled jpeg from that morning on the beach.
Signs of Friday
The 2MP Kodak was really a family camera. But one morning at the beach I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep. I took the camera down to the beach around dawn and re-awakened my dormant love of photography. You can see how crunchy the file is: 2 MP jpeg to start with and I probably sharpened the hell out of the original, not knowing any better.
