​Ten beach photography suggestions

Ten beach photography suggestions

No.1 look for the focus.

One of my friends told me that he would not take leave of the camera to the beach looking for what, in his opinion on the beach all does not have what difference. I can only say that I feel very sorry, when I was walking on the beach, I think if you can see farther if there is full for example, in the shooting opportunity. Facing the sea when shooting, I found a very interesting event; go to the shore and then take a look at that angle lens will take what in turn. At the beach scenery photography in a common problem is that you can take a beautiful scenery, but you seem to it is of no interest to the photo shot out of the hollow and the lack of interest. When take the photos, the best to find those that you interest, and focus on those who can give a person with aesthetic feeling of the scene. Maybe just a sand Model, a string of footprints; may be hitting on the rock of the waves; or is only the Lifeguard Tower... You can also capture some of the stories that happen on the beach, for example: was left in the shoes of the coast, a sand dune, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

No.2 does a good job in the choice of time.

One day the whole story is a beach shooting the best time. For beginners, in which time does not have a lot of people, and the sun will create a wonderful light and shadow, which will allows you to generate great interest, especially in the evening when the very soft golden light line will make you enchanted.

No.3 looking at the horizon:

Usually in beach photography common problem is in that day and have broad junction will tilt the horizon. Do you want to make horizon and composition direction is vertical to the. And try not to place the horizon in the middle part of the picture, as if in that case, the whole picture like is was cut into two halves of the same.

No.4 when others do not go the beach, you can go.

Another time is when the climate becomes bad when people avoid going to the beach, but it is the most active on the coast, the most vitality. The storm at sea, bang rumble of thunder and lightning, the vagaries of the cloud and blowing life flag leaves in the wind... These are for meteorological photography provides good conditions.

No.5 surround exposure.

Shoot beach in the summer's biggest challenge nothing better than that overwhelmingly strong sunlight, if your camera is in automatic mode, shot out of the picture may be underexposed. If your camera has a manual mode, that these are not is a big problem, you can try different exposure in order to achieve the best results. Bracketing method can effectively solve this problem. It is the first by a photometric value exposure, then increase and reduce the exposure by the exposure of a on the basis, if there is no master, can change the exposure more than a few pictures, according to the difference of 1/3EV, 0.5EV, 1EV etc. to adjust the amount of exposure, the exposure of each photo are not the same, so you can from a series of photographs to pick out a satisfactory course is sometimes the case may be, want to let the scenery bright up is not easy, especially in both the dark and the sunshine. Usually the first to find out what you want exposure the site is very important, but at the same time so that the screen has a very good layout is not easy.

No.6 spot metering.

If your camera has a spot metering function that you will escape exposure of the above troubles. The benefits of this method is according to the preferences of the photographer, of a photographer that right, or is the main shoot correct metering, and won't be near the other light interferes with the photometry. For example when you shoot the backlighting, it becomes absolutely necessary for the face point measurement. When you take great light than photos (such as half the sky, the other half in the shadows) you need some of you want to correct exposure metering.

No.7 forced flash.

If in the portrait of Pat beach, you will find people face usually has the shadow (this is due to the light of a hat, glasses or nose projecting caused by). In this case you need using a flash to shoot, so that the shadow in will appear, exposure and more adequate. This shot in the backlight is particularly important, or the use of flash, shot out of the portrait will be showing the silhouette effect. If your camera has to adjust the exposure degree of functionality, you may want to try overexposure, promising that shot out of the picture is like a faded, looks a bit pretentious.

No.8 ultraviolet light filter.

In beach shooting, ultraviolet ray filter for digital SLR cameras, the user is very useful, there are several reasons. First, it can protect the lens from damage, and also to filter out UV. And it can also reduce haze (main if blue mist and tone). Although not bring big visual effect, but when for your digital SLR camera I bought a new camera, I first bought is UV filter.

No.9 polarizing filter.

For your digital SLR camera lens, polarizing filters is a most useful one accessory. Without too much process, polarizing filters just filtering out the polarized light only. This means that it can reduce the reflection, while increasing the contrast. It affects the most significant is the blue sky and the sea, there will produce obvious effects. As a matter of fact, I know there are many photographers in the absence of polarizing filters directly to use sunglasses to replace. Get a polarizing filter to try it, and you'll be it deeply attracted.

No.10 black and white photography.

Black and white photography always has its unique charm. Black and white photos taken on the beach completely changed I emotions and feelings about the shooting. In cloudy or rainy days on the beach shooting portrait is a good choice, which will make the entire beach scene slightly faded color.
