As an island nation, we’re drawn to the sea and landscape photographers are certainly no exception – seascapes are among their most popular subjects. Good coastal shots can be full of drama, showing the raw power of nature or, at the other extreme, they can be calming and tranquil but they’re always full of atmosphere.
Successful seascapes usually contain a few key elements: a strong composition, dramatic or moody lighting, and a sense of motion. They often feature a strong foreground and background focal point to help enhance perspective, as well as front-to-back sharpness, so accurate focusing and control of depth of field is vital. Creating a sense of motion means being able to control your shutter speeds, so you’ll need a set of Neutral Density filters.
