How to Take Great Beach Shots


What lens would you make for beach photography? I used 70-200 2.8. The ocean looks too noisy and the photos just are not that good. Help!

Lens choice should be a personal (and secondary) decision and will depend upon many factors like available light, primary subject matter, distance to the subject, intended angle of perspective, etc. Your concentration should be focused on those key elements.
If your scene requires a lot of depth of field, a wide-angle lens will afford a great sharpness range from the foreground to the horizon.
If the light is low, set your ISO low and use a tripod to minimize noise.
