Where was this photo taken? I took this picture in my backyard the day after we got back from a weekend spent in Surfside,Tx. When I found it I immediately thought of making a chess set out of sea glass.
Date, time of day, and weather conditions? June 25th, 7:30p.m., clear sky
What were your feelings or impressions when taking this photo? I liked the way the sun is starting to set. I spent the whole day looking for sea glass and it reminds me of the end of a wonderful day.
What tips or suggestions do you have for other photographers? Take pictures in different locations, some in morning light and some later in the day( inside and outside ).
