A few tips for taking better beach pictures:
- Many beach pictures come out with sand too bright, and people too dark. Use your flash to brighten faces at the beach. If your camera has a setting designed for photographing people at night, try that.
- Beach pictures taken in morning and late afternoon take advantage of warmer-colored light and usually look better than ones taken mid-day at the beach.
