As you guessed, it was much fun shooting this one. First, I made some quick tries at home, just to get a rough idea of the framing and angle that I wanted. Then, my wife and I traveled to the beach, on a spot I located using "The Photographer's Ephemeris": it is a handy little piece of software, based on Google Maps, that also gives you the position of the sun and the moon for any day of the year. It really helped me planning the lighting: for example, I knew a reflector would be necessary, to compensate for the high harsh sun.

Once there, we did some test shots without digging the sand, and after a few tries, we started using our shovels! At this point, walkers' faces became funny. But that was nothing compared to when I undressed myself, got down in the hole with the cap and glasses My wife then kindly buried me... and we shot many photos, to be able to select the one with the most convincing position.

All in all, a very nice day at the beach!
