A few tips for shooting at the beach in Galveston, Texas!

If you love the Galveston beach, it’s natural that you’ll want to share photos of your experiences with your friends or remember your favorite moments long after your vacation is over. But capturing the beauty of the beach in photographs is not always easy. You may enjoy the sunshine, water, and sand, but your camera doesn’t take the best photos in those conditions. Here are few beach photography tips sure to make your next Galveston photo session produces some high quality photographs.

Choose a Focal Point

Watching the waves crashing onto the shore isn’t the best photograph. It’s the reason? There’s no focal point.  A focal point is an object or area of focus that is used to draw the viewer’s attention to a particular part of a photograph. It could be a person, object, or setting that is most important to the photograph. One example of a focal point in photography is a person’s face. 

Shoot during the Golden Hours in Galveston, Texas!

You probably love watching the sunrise or sunset at the beach. These time are know as the Golden Hours! The Golden Hours are the best time of day to take photos because the light is softer and the colors are more vibrant.

 Use a Tripod

A tripod can help you to keep your photos consistent and accurate, which can help to create more professional-looking photos. Additionally, tripods can help you to take long, steadier exposures, which can help to capture more details in your photos.
