Hi Friends! Need some help :o)

I am going to a sea side city for a holiday tomorrow. There is a very big and nice sea beach.
May I get some photographic tips about composition, time of taking photographs or any thing what should I keep count at the time of photography.

Thank you.

Rudra.

look at some of these, take lots of memory and battery, and shoot everything you see.

also, early morning before sunrise and late afternoons about 1 hour before sunset are the best times, but you can find lots of other interesting things any time of day or night if you keep your eyes open.

If you don't have one, buy a polarizing filter for your lens. The effects can be striking.

When your are admiring the sunset's golden glow, turn around and shoot the sites that are bathed in that light.

Once you have the light you like, keep your other eye open for something to wander into the frame. A boat, a flock of birds, a skipping child, a couple holding hands, a surfer, something interacting with the sceen to put life in your shot of water and sun. look throough the shots that skiprow posted and see which ones grab you. For me they all have big nature and some small action moving through the sceen

Great suggestions. I would add that landscapes and seascapes tend to look better if the horizon falls on one of the third lines, rather than going right through the center of the photo. Also, don't give up on a sunset until it's completely finished. The light can go from a deep gold color to bright magenta in just a few minutes. Oh, and UV filters (or the previously mentioned polarizers) are your friend at the beach as well, just to offer protection from the sand and salty seaspray. Have fun!

BE CAREFUL OF THE SAND!!!!

If it is windy, don't use your cam unless the potential picture is so nice it's worth the risk of airborne salt spray and fine sand grunging up your moving parts :-)
