6 Simple Tips for taking Better Beach Photos

Get ready for a memorable vacation with these SIMPLE tips for capturing the best moments at the beach!

1. Keep your camera steady, very steady!
2. Get closer to your main subject, if you think you’re close enough… move even closer. Fill the entire frame.
3. Photos taken in the late afternoon when the sun is setting will be your best photo opportunity.
4. Make the event fun! People talking to each other, interacting, or doing something are more interesting than posed pictures.
5. Include colorful objects! Grab a beach ball, beach toys, or get your beach umbrella in the background. Bright & colorful objects will bring your pictures to life.
6. Many beach pictures come out with sand too bright, and people too dark. Use your flash to brighten faces at the beach, and this also helps to prevent your subject/s from squinting.
