Fading light is no problem for the 28-300mm
VC lens, which is able to capture every detail
in the water and in the sails of this graceful
sloop at 300mm.
You may not be able to avoid the crowds on the
beach, but by compressing the shot vertically and
keeping the aperture small, you’ll be able to capture
every multicolored umbrella and well-motioned beach
body in stellar detail.
If you’re privy to a pyrotechnics show while on vacation, keep in mind that there will be a center point
to the main explosion, followed by another three to four seconds of embers spiraling to the end of
their trail. Keep your shutter open the entire time to record the whole exposure and the ensuing
ember shower.

You’re on vacation, but the streets of your destination location are as busy as ever. Show off all the
automotive activity by waiting until the moment a red stoplight turns green – then you’ll be able to
illustrate the movement at the front of the pack by blurring the cars at the head of the line.
