Beach Photography Ideas
Orange County Beach Photography is best done at sunset. Let's face it, it's very hard to get the kids up and to the beach at sunrise and most of the best places with rocks are in the shadow of cliffs in the early morning.
If you do have a family of early risers, you can get great images without a lot of people in the background. Sunset images which can give you some great background color, come with the problem of lot's of people on the beach. So you need to choose your spots wisely. Also, it never hurts to ask people to move out of the picture temporarily.
Trying to take portraits between sunrise and sunset, just isn't worth it. Not only does the overhead sun create harsh lighting, squinting is always a problem. And no one wants a portrait of someone quinting. Even with the sun to your back, the reflection off the sand is enough to make most people squint. So don't even bother with that time of day.
Your best bet is near sunset and using a fill flash.
