SCENICS & NATURE

THE BEACH

As places that are ever-changing, beaches make interesting detail and abstract studies with a camera

 

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, reflections in pools and tiny

 

flowers 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-field,

 

and watch you don’t block too much light

with your body.

 

Beach abstracts can look amazing when shot in black 75

&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.

DON’T FORGET: A POLARISING FILTER

Polarising filters boost saturation and remove reflections from water and shiny surfaces, so are ideal for beach photography.
