Afternoon Delight - Redhead Beach

Twenty Thirteen has already been a big year of photography (and we're only 2 months in). I recently set up my own photography business (Elroy Aguiar Photography) and have already completed a few jobs (WINNING), despite not having advertised at all. It seems that word of mouth is a great advertising tool. I also purchased a new camera (Canon 5D mkII), which quite frankly kicks butt! The new camera is a significant upgrade from my Canon 50D. However, the upgrade meant that I had to buy a few new lenses to suit the full frame sensor (what a shame).

Whilst I have used the 5D mk II for a few business jobs, I haven't had much of a chance to get out and test it during a landscape session. Finally I had a free afternoon on my calender and the weather decided to play nice. After viewing Kane's recent blog post featuring Redhead beach, I decided that I needed to return to this favourite spot of ours. Once again this location produced superb conditions and great light.

My objective for the session was to capture the water in motion and the golden light of the setting sun. I think that the following set of images has achieved this. In fact, I'm extremely happy with how they all turned out.

What do you think about these images? If you had to pick a favourite, which one would you choose?
