DON’T FORGET: A POLARISING FILTER
Polarising ilters boost saturation and remove relections from water
and shiny surfaces, so are ideal for beach photography.
Beaches are great places to search out details
and abstracts, such as water-worn wooden
groynes, sea-washed pebbles and sun-faded
paint on beach huts, and let’s not forget the
seals, birds and mini beasts in rockpools
too. Look for shapes in rocks that may
make patterns, relections in pools and tiny
lowers blowing in soft breezes. What’s even
better is that these are as interesting when
photographed on overcast days when the
light is softer, more even and colours slightly
muted. With close objects, keep them parallel
to the camera to get a deep depth-of-ield,
and watch you don’t block too much light
with your body.
As places that are ever-changing, beaches make
interesting detail and abstract studies with a camera
THE BEACH
Beach abstracts can look
amazing when shot in black
& white, or even increasing
the contrast to make them
more colourful. Look in the
Picture Wizard menu.
Be very careful when swapping lenses on the beach as the wind can
easily blow sand and dust into the camera’s insides.
