[QUOTE="JudeIscariot, post: 170808, member: 15275"] Well, seeing as though it's in Ocean City at Sunset, one tip is to avoid all of the people playing frisbee and fishing on the beach. :P The other important things are, the sun will be on the bay side, and not over the ocean... So depending on what you want in the background, there is some stuff to think of. As you are using a D3000, be careful not to underexpose, and its shadows are hard to ever bring up without awful distortion. Since you have a flash that isn't a speedlight, just play around with it until it looks right. If the ocean is the background, watch for squinting eyes due to the subjects facing the sun. If the dunes are the background, then watch for silhouetting. One more thing, as I know OC - the beaches look better above 70th street or so. There is also likely to be less people up that end overall, so if you have a choice of what beach to go to, try going up the north end of the city. [/QUOTE]
