Late afternoon light casts elongated shadows of four figures across rippled beach sand, their dark silhouettes contrasting against warm cream and pale blue tones. The composition captures an ephemeral seaside moment—people standing together, their presence known only through shadow play on the textured surface left by retreating waves.
Shot on an Olympus Mju II point-and-shoot with Kodal Gold 200 film, this image showcases the film stock's gentle color palette and fine grain structure. Gold 200's characteristic warmth enhances the golden hour atmosphere at the beach, while the compact camera's sharp lens renders the sand's natural texture with surprising clarity. The automatic exposure captures the delicate balance between shadow detail and highlight preservation that makes film photography so distinctive.
