Carry your phone into the sea!! Yes, it might sound a little crazy but it is true. You can carry your phone into the ocean and click pictures with it. But you have to take the necessary precautions. It must be fascinating to take pictures in the ocean and not from far away, but a little scary as it can spoil your camera. But now with your iPhone you can snap pictures to your heart’s content. The precautionary measure you should take is a water proof case for the phone. Use an Aquapac case. It is a plastic pouch for iPhone with 2 clips for securing your phone. This case can be used for many Smartphones.
- Catch the ocean spray
Enclosing your phone in a water proof case and clicking pictures with it can be really exciting. So do not get caught with the fear that spitting salt water might damage your phone. Just get under the rising tides and click to your heart’s content. Keep a finger ready at the shutter and snap at the right moment when the tide is falling over you. Maintain a balance between your posture in the water and snaping photos.
- Keep your phone underwater
To get the real feel of ocean, dip your camera in the water, no not all of it but. Keep the lens of your phone as close to the water as possible just a few mm above the waterline. The closer it is to the water the better the feel. Use self timer that is present in replacement camera apps. Turn the timer on, then the shutter will capture pictures even if your phone is completely in the water.
- Freeze the Action
People at the beach are always on the move, kids play with Frisbee, surfers in their wetsuits, families taking walks etc. The iPhone is not an excellent choice for action shots because the shutter speed cannot be set. But if it is a particularly enjoyable scene on a sunny day at the beach freeze it with your iPhone camera getting close to the water.
- Click the surroundings too apart from just the waters
There are a lot of details around you at the beach, try snapping them too, like the sea shells, crabs running out of their holes towards the ocean, kids sinking their feet in the sand, sand castles etc. All these pictures do make up for great ocean photography.
These are a few tips for clicking some great ocean photographs. Follow them and click some great ones while you are on the sand, under the sun, near the water.
