Every year, I try to make it to the beach with my family if possible.  Since we don’t live near the beach, it’s always special for us to see the ocean, play in the sand and splash in the waves.  It’s also a challenge to try to get above average beach pics.

There are so many things competing against good photos at the beach – midday sun, tons of people, keeping track of kids, that fat guy that’s always in the background and keeping sand out of your camera.  Below, you’ll find 23 awesome beach images that beat the elements and the odds.  Granted, these are not your typical family vacation photos; however, with a little bit of effort, there’s no reason you can’t bring a few images like these back from your next trip to the beach.

Emma

_____________________________________

Allow me to introduce Emma, my new 6-week-old.  This photo was taken for her birth announcement.  To make it happen, I took one of her girly blankets, put it in a light tent and set her inside as well.  On the outside was a Nikon SB-26 and SB-24, triggered by GI Cactus V2s.  Shot with a Canon Rebel XT and my trusty (and cheap) EF 50mm f/1.8.

EXIF: ISO 100, 1/125s, f/8.
