It's all in the perspective
What if you get down on eye level with your baby playing in the sand? You could stand straight above a crawling crab, or point straight up to the swaying branches of a palm tree.
Look for unique and unusual angles and perspectives for your beach pictures.
Splashes of color
Since beaches often feature rather bland colors, like shades of sand and driftwood, also keep an eye out for interesting splashes of color. A bright red beach umbrella, green palm leaf or hot pink sandals can add real verve to your beach pictures.
