Burst mode is usually used for taking action shots. To use it, all you have to do is to hold down the shutter button when you take a picture for a second or for as long as you wish. Capturing the perfect moment is easier because burst mode allows you to take numerous photos within fractions of a second. You can just pick your favorite shots later.
2. Silhouette

Taking photos of silhouettes at the beach can create stunning and dramatic images. The contrast between the dark silhouette and the colorful skies or water produces a mesmerizing effect, especially during sunrise or sunset. You can try to experiment with different angles and perspectives while you are at it too!
3. Golden Hour

To capture the beauty of this time, it’s important to be at the beach a little before the golden hour. As the sun begins to set, the light becomes warmer and softer. It casts a beautiful glow over the scenery. The colors of the sky and the water also start to change, creating a stunning palette of oranges, pinks, and purples. Taking photos during this magical time of the day can result in some truly breathtaking shots.
4. Reflections

Beach photos are already naturally beautiful, but adding a pop of color can make them more eye-catching and stand out on your social media feed. You can do this by wearing brightly colored clothing and accessories like a hat, pair of sunglasses, or scarf that can instantly make your photos look more vibrant and alive.
