Ciep Photography: Beach Photography Tumblr

In beach photography, light is not always your best friend. We are accustomed to seeing bright sunlight in beach photos. But remember that if there is white sand, it can cause a lot of glare and result in stark high contrast photos that do not capture the feel of the beach. As in all landscape photography, the best time to shoot is in the mornings and evening when the light hits the sand obliquely, resulting in less glare and harshness and thus warmer colors.

Don't despair if you are at the beach on a cloudy day. Using the "cloudy" setting on our camera you may be able to capture some great images that show the dramatic contrast between the gray clouds and water. Try taking black and white photos. And if it's not totally overcast, cloud formations against a blue sky with blue water in the foreground can result in dramatic effects.
