[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 225358, member: 14443"] Oh! one thing that most people wont pay attention to. I dont know if the sun will set at the horizon of the water, but if it does, consider shooting towards the sun and doing back lit pictures. you really have to be good at flash/backlit exposures but the pictures look so much better than the sun in peoples faces and theyre all squinting! better that you suffer and squint and shoot them with the sun back lighting them. shoot with the flash at HSS. they will have the sea at their back, a nice halo/rim lighting effect on their hair, they wont squint and it will look fantastic. stop down so any misfocus you get, youll have enough DOF to compensate. start practicing haha. if the people arent standing in a spot I want, I simply ask them. so if you need to spin them around, ask them to kindly spin around. "guys, you come stand here so I can get a nice shot of you with the sun/sunset?" no problem is what they say. but more than that, I simply stand where I want and they will more or less adjust themselves to you haha! even if theyre standing already waiting for me and hugging together, I walk over to where I want and they turn follow me HAHAHA its hilarious but it works. I simply want the best image for them. no side lighting and no front lighting. try, as least as possible, to shoot with the sun in peoples faces. too many lost shots from squinting and weird expressions. and dont do side lighting because that exaggerates features like big noses, wrinkles and skin defects and woman dont like that. those with big noses and wrinkles will hate you. and you can PP that. backlit buddy! practice it. eh...raw, yes?! good luck. cheers [/QUOTE]
