6 BEGINNER TIPS FOR LONG EXPOSURE OCEAN PHOTOGRAPHY

We have all seen those epic shots of the ocean that show the movement of the
water. Turns out capturing that scene is easier than you think! Here are 6 tips
to help you get the shot.

By: Tori Marsh + Save to a List




1. FIND A ROCKY BEACH.

The coolest part of taking a long exposure shot of the ocean is seeing the
patterns of the current. These patterns are exacerbated by structures in the
water. Look for beaches with piers, rocks, or anything else that can help funnel
or facilitate that epic water movement!





2. TRY FOR A CLOUDY DAY.

If you can, try and shoot your long exposure on an overcast day. Not only will
this help ensure that your photo isn't overexposed, but capturing the movement
of the clouds makes for a truly epic shot. Not to mention, clouds tend to make
sunsets even more beautiful. 

 


3. FILTERS! FILTERS! FILTERS!

This is huge. Long exposure photography during daylight hours is frustrating and
next to impossible. 99% of the time, without a filter, the photo comes out
incredibly overexposed, since you have slowed the shutter speed down. Neutral
Density (ND) Filters usually come in 2 to 10 stops. For my long exposure shots,
I use an 8 stop ND filter. 

As ND filters can make things pretty dark through the viewfinder, It is usually
better to set up your shot before adding the filter. However, sometimes the
surprise is worth it! 




4. STABILIZE YOUR TRIPOD IN THE SAND.

If you're taking a long exposure of the ocean, chances are, there will be
some wind. I like to bury my tripod legs in the sand a little, just to make sure
that the tripod is stabilized. 









5. PLAY WITH YOUR SHUTTER SPEED!

Slowing down and speeding up your shutter speed can do some cool stuff with the
ocean water! 

 * A long exposure (>10 seconds) will give you the flat serene seas. However,
   with longer shutter speeds you are going a higher ND filter (around 10
   stops). 
 * A medium length exposure (2-9 seconds) gives you the movement of the water. I
   tend to keep my shutter speed in this range; the movement of the water is so
   cool to see. 

Remember, to get the perfect shot with a long shutter speed, you are going to
need to change your ISO and aperture. You are going to want a low ISO, usually
100, and a smaller aperture (I used f/11).











6. USE A WIDE ANGLE LENS

Although this is not required, for landscape/ocean photography wide angle lens
simply captures more. Wide angle lenses also tend to add a sense of depth to the
photo as they make the horizon seem further away than it really is. This makes
for amazing ocean photos.
