Beach Photography Tips
What to Focus On?You can get very creative with your Beach Photos if you focus on some of the larger and smaller items particular to the beach. Although a vast expanse is available, get there early or late in the day for the best photos. Beach Photography Tips: Direct overhead sun exposure tends to wash out photos and I feel like they lose depth. Another reason to try for early or late photos is there are fewer people on the beach at that time of day and it just makes framing your personal photos much easier. Here’s is a wonderful article by Darren Rowse on 10 Beach Photography Tips. Get Creative!Personally for Beach Photography Tips, I often like to focus on tiny aspects of the beach - the birds, the pattern the outgoing tide makes on the sand, the shells, the sunrise or sunset and the silhouettes at those times of day. These can make great additions and embellishments to your Beach Layouts and allow them to stand out. 
Take Care of Your CameraHere’s the critical one! That nasty sand and the moisture can certainly ruin your camera and damage your lens beyond repair. My suggestion is to be very careful and possibly enlist some help to guard your equipment if you are setting up a tripod and trying to stage a shot. Always keep your camera on the neck strap or wrist strap, never set it down and be aware that the wind can pick up very quickly around water and may blow sand. Or kids can kick sand or beach towels and blankets get moved and along with them - SAND! You might put a UV Filter over your lens to help protect it. And, take a small camera case to store your camera for that extra measure of protection when you have finished with your photography. Critical Read: Here is a very comprehensive article about Camera Care while at the beach that I have certainly used myself. This article from the New York Institute of Photography is invaluable and provides critical information to taking care of your camera for sand and moisture in summer and winter. What Camera Equipment to Bring?Don’t forget Extra Memory Cards and Batteries. What a shame to be at the beach and have to worry about your camera when you can’t even take pictures with it. A Polarizing Lens Filter which will help to bring out more vivid colors in your photos. Flash! Yep, take a careful look at your subject before you snap that photo. With all the bright sun be careful that your subject is not squinting and that the sun has not cast dark shadows on the face. You can use the flash to help avoid those dark areas.
