The
beach is a great place for getting
good photos and those photos will
be a great memory to take back from
your beach vacation. Follow these
easy steps to get better photos to
document your vacation memories.
#1 Rule! Hold Your Camera
Steady!
Sometimes good pictures are
missed by overlooking the basics.
Holding the camera steady is vital
for sharp, clear pictures. When you
push the shutter button, press it
gently rather than jabbing it. Even
slight camera movement can rob your
pictures of sharpness.
• Get closer to your main subject,
if you think you're close enough -
move even closer. Fill the entire
frame.

• Beach pictures taken in morning
and late afternoon look better than
ones taken mid-day at the beach.
• Make the event fun! People
talking to each other, interacting,
or doing something are more interesting
than posed pictures.

• Include colorful objects!
Grab a beach ball, beach toys, or
get your beach umbrella in the background.
Bright & colorful objects will
bring your pictures to life.

• Many beach pictures come
out with sand too bright, and people
too dark. Use your flash to brighten
faces at the beach. This also helps
to prevent your subjects from squinting.
