The easiest class | of water scenes to photograph are or- ! dinary coast subjects such as a curb- ing beach, a group of rocks by the I water's edge, a small boat hauled up | out of reach of the tide or a fish shan- '. ty with perhaps a well-placed figure 1 or two suitably employed- â€" which does j ntH mean that they should stare at the camera. Simple material and lit- tle of it is the most effective. Don't try to include a great expanse of beach «r water with nothing of interest in the foreground, for the result will be disappointing. Next to cbooeing your subject and your viewpoint lnte!ligentl> comes suitable lighting. When the sun is high overhead objects cast little shad- ow. Everything is flooded with light, and a photograph made under such conditions is flat and monotonous.
