5 Great Tips for Better Seascape Photography

Seascapes are a highly popular subject, and they offer a huge range of different looks and moods depending on your location, the light, the weather, and how you choose to photograph them. This fantastic video tutorial will give you five helpful tips for improving your seascape photos. 

Coming to you from Nigel Danson, this helpful video tutorial will give you five tips for improving your seascape photography. The thing I have always loved about shooting these types of photos is that you can get new, unique photos every few seconds due to the waves, and there are a huge ton of creative options available at just one location. One thing I think gets overlooked a lot is the potential of using longer focal lengths for such work. For example, we featured Dave Sanford's jaw-dropping images of Lake Erie waves a few years back, for which he uses 70-200mm and 400mm lenses. While you will certainly get great shots using wide angle lenses, do not forget to explore the images you can create using telephoto lenses. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Danson.
