Tip of The Week
Have you ever tried taking photos at the seashore? The look of waves crashing against a beach can be really breathtaking. However, you do need to carefully plan these shots in advance. So here are some tips.Be very careful not to drop your camera in the sand! Once it hits the sand, you're pretty much stuffed. Your camera lens and moving parts will be exposed to sand particles and its pretty much goodbye to your camera. Sand will find its way into the lens and the body and will trash moving parts.
Always try to make sure you shoot handheld with the camera strap securely around your neck. For tripod shots, loop the camera strap around the tripod head knobs to make sure it doesn't accidentally fall off the tripod into the sand.
