Capture seaside views

You can see a variety of different scenery at the seaside, canvas prints such as the sea level, which brings peace and happiness to people, or the scene of rough waves that makes people feel heart-stopping. But what techniques should be used to capture these special scenes? Should you use a slow shutter or a polarizer? What else should you pay attention to when shooting at the beach?

Slow shutter speed gives a sense of flow

When the sea ebb tide, canvas australia the slow shutter can be used to take pictures of the waves on the beach, which can fully show the dynamic track of the waves. When shooting, keep the ISO to a minimum and aperture to a minimum, use a light reducing lens to extend the shutter time, and use a tripod to reduce camera shake. In the picture, it is suggested to include the surrounding rocks and coastline into the composition, so as to take a dynamic picture of the waves moving across the rocks with a sense of presence.

Capture the beauty of the glimmer

When the sun just goes down, the sea will reflect a beautiful light, at this time can use the lens of the long focal length, moderate compression of the sea water back and forth on the beach at the intersection of the wave curve, and enhance the contrast, large canvas prints cheap so that the presence of the foreground more intense; If be in the seaside that has no wind without wave, also can seek special foreground (for example the artificial fishing net of Z glyph), borrow special landscape to attract a view, lead the line of sight to prospective gradually, if have embellish element (be like view sea building) can make the finishing point more. Pay extra attention to color and shape when shooting.

Use polar scope

Polaris cope is the key to making the sky and sea blue and the clouds three-dimensional. By turning the polar scope on the dark sky, the white flower can stand out in the dark blue, increasing the visual impact of the picture. When using ultra-wide Angle lens with polariscopic lens (such as full-frame lens with single eye with focal length less than 24mm), due to its aperture of more than 77mm, the problem of uneven exposure and polarization may occur. Special attention should be paid to whether there is a phenomenon of inconsistent depth in the sky. If already is the super good weather of blue sky white cloud, can add polariscopic lens unnecessarily again, lest make the sky is too deep blue and cause unnatural adverse effect.

Coastal precautions

Pay attention to the tidal

No matter what you shoot at the seaside, you need to pay attention to the tides. At high tide, any seemingly safe location can quickly become a vast ocean. Keep an eye on the timing of the ebb and flow of the tide and look out for low-lying areas that may be covered by the tide. Before the central weather bureau website to check the tide time, wind and wave size information, looking for a safe location to shoot.

Safety equipment

When shooting on the coast, sometimes you have to wade into the water or even walk on the sharp rocks. In addition to preventing the shaking of the legs caused by the waves, you also need to pay attention to your own safety. Basic protective equipment such as non-slip shoes, life jackets and helmets are indispensable.

Protect and clean equipment

The sand on the fuselage can be cleaned with a soft brush, and when cleaning the dust on the lens must be very careful, hard gravel can easily scratch the lens. If you are shooting close to the waves, pay attention to water drops and salts in the air. Check and clean the lens frequently during shooting, so as not to affect the shooting quality. Do not change the lens at the seaside unless you have to. If you want to change the lens, you should be very careful. You'd better find a clean plastic bag big enough to wrap the camera and lens inside, so as to avoid the wind, acrylic prints australia sand and water vapor from the seaside running into the lens and camera.
