Re: Shooting Near Water
by Orin Jenkins on Feb 13, 2008 at 7:19:53 pm

Didn't read the other posts, but this is my solution that works most every time:
Shooting on or near water for best color/contrast:
Early within 2 hours of sunrise
Late within 2 hours of sunset plus 30 minutes after.
Proper lens hood for the focal length, preferably metal for best black inside hood
Polarize -- use the correct Polarizer for your capture medium
UV and/or 1A
Keep your back to the sun as much as possible
If you must shoot with a tripod physically in saltwater, either rinse immediately with fresh or use coated wood. Saltwater loves to eat your aluminum.
If shooting from a boat watch for hull ripples in your foreground.

That's it off the top of my head.
Say Hi to Puyallup from Florida.


We shoot with anything and the list keeps growing.
