SUMMER
13 SPLASH & SHOOT
Jumping into the sea or a large body of water is great fun to do and you can get some eye-catching photographic results at the same time. To make sure your shots are sharp, set your camera to fire in the fastest burst mode you have and ensure your AF setting is set to the tracking feature, so you can follow your subject. You may need to get your model to do a few jumps to get the perfect shot.
3 TOP TIPS
It’s all about communication. Speak to your model first to tell them where they need to jump so you can be ready to get the action shot.
Shoot a sequence of images and either pick the best of the bunch or present them as a sequence.
Sea salt and cameras do not mix! Protect your camera with a waterproof cover (right) and keep it clear of any big splashes. A long lens will help you get close to your subjects.
