- Photographing Landscapes - Episode 2: Seascapes
In this short series of landscape photography tutorials, I cover how to photograph specific landscape photography scenes. In this episode, I give some tips on how to photograph coastal scenes and seascapes.
Coastal photography is one of my favourite genres of photography, and also one of the most exciting, and in this video I try and provide a little insight into my own approach to photographing these landscapes. I talk about some specific considerations to take when photographing seascapes, including beaches, rocky shorelines and waves. I give some photography tips on how to set exposure and camera settings, as well as equipment, and talk about my use of long exposures and ND filters. I also provide advice on how to plan your coastal and seascape photography around time of day and tides.
Music used in this video includes tracks from www.Bensound.com as well as some of my own music.

Loved this Sam, cant wait for the upcoming parts and learning more about your approach and dare I say enjoying your deeper feeling and connection you have with photography and the landscape.
Thank you very much Geoff! I'm a bit worried I'm running out of old b-roll to make these, but hopefully there'll be enough for the woodland video! Sam.
I love your vlogs mate, so so informative. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us all
Thanks very much Damian! I'm not so sure about 'vast knowledge' but I'm learning too! Really pleased to hear you are enjoying the videos, thank you for watching! Sam.
Thank you for new knowledge.
You are very welcome Adam, thank you for watching! Sam.
What a great video. Really enjoyed watching this and some great advice. Incredible shots
Thank you very much David! Sam.
I did some coastal photography in Britany recently and I do agree with everything you said. Particularly regarding the rush of adrenaline we receive when we think we’ve got a great composition but the waves are getting closer and closer. The sea is beautiful and powerful and in some way, scary.
Thank you William, yes absolutely! I easily get carried away when photographing waves coming in, there's always a better one to come! Thanks for watching, Sam.
Another amazing video Sam. Look forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you very much Vince! S.
This was one of the most valuable and informative clips I've seen, in particular the caring for the equipment - when I visit the sea, I usually dismantle and clean my tripod as you advised, but others haven't mentioned it, so I was concerned that I was worrying over nothing! This is a clip that not just warrants re-watching, but almost demands it.
Hi Michael, this comment really made my day, thank you very much! Absolutely, I'm quite obsessive about cleaning tripods now, having pretty much lost one quite expensive one to the effects of salt. Nick Page actually devoted an entire video to cleaning tripods a few years back, but it definitely doesn't get talked about enough. Thanks very much for watching! Sam.
@@BosePhotography that's very kind of you to reply, and thanks for the tip re Nick Page. It was fortuitous that YT suggested your clip as tomorrow I head to what we call the Surf Coast for a brief holiday, so I can try to put your advice into practice.
Hi excellent advice thanks for sharing Best Regards Tim
Thank you Tim! S.
Great tips for seascapes...will try to utilize some of them next time I head out to the coast
Thank you Ken, I'm glad you found it helpful! S.
Another fantastic episode. 📷
Thank you very much Mark!
Another great video Sam, made even better by your own music.
Thank you very much Rob! Sam.
Great Vlog, Sam & Hannah, your videos and images are always on-point, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Tony! S.
Another great episode and compliments your mountain landscapes perfectly. The footage & narration have been thoughtfully put together to make an interesting 15 mins of sublime scenery & images. Some great advice. Loved the images and dare I say it but it felt influenced by a certain Scottish landscape/seascape photographer that you might have met on the other side of the World :) Atb Al
Thank you Alan! Yes, I do owe Ewan a little, he certainly provided some inspiration for this, although being perfectly honest I think I have a little way to go before I can match those heights, both photographically and videographically(?)! By the way, I really did like that black and white image you posted to IG of the tree roots, stunning work! S.
That's one area of photography I need to do more of, especially in the UK as we're surrounded by the coast!
Thanks Russ! I definitely need to photograph more seascapes as well to be honest (You may have noticed that my back catalogue consisted of only about three locations when I was putting this video together!). I do really love this kind of photography though, and yes, we have no excuse for not doing more here in the UK!
With regard to the video, I've been applying the 'cinema' style black bars to the top and bottom of these videos purposefully, as they are made using old footage. I'm not sure anyone would really notice, but it just seemed to be a thing that might differentiate old footage from new on the channel. Apologies if it is too much of a distraction, but it was done on purpose (I edit using DaVinci Resolve btw.) Sam
Another great video, Sam. Sensible advice, clearly delivered, with great illustration shots. You and Hannah really deserve many more followers than you have.
Thank you very much Alan! That's very kind of you to say, we're very thankful for the faithful following that we have though! Sometimes it's best not to worry too much about 'sub' numbers! :)
Hi Sam: This was a wonderful video. I enjoy shooting seascapes as well, but living in central Canada I can only do this when I travel. We are coming to the Isle of Skye in the fall, so I should be able to get a good opportunity to capture some seascapes. Cheers, Keith
Thank you Keith! I live in Oxfordshire myself, which is about as far as one can be from the sea in the UK (although maybe not quite as far as central Canada!), so I don't get to visit the coast as much as I would like. I really do miss it though, and try and get back there as often as I can. It's great to hear that you will be heading to Skye later in the year, it is a really amazing location and I hope you have an amazing trip! Our visit there last September was actually my first, despite growing up in the north west highlands, and it really didn't disappoint. We're hoping to spend much more time up there in the future! I'll keep an eye out for you if we happen to be up there this Autumn! Sam.
Another fantastic episode in this series mate, great images and tips, i hate taking a tripod to the beach as its just a tripod killer , downloaded the Magicseaweed app looks very interesting , thanks for the tips .Looking forward to the woodland episode , take care mate
Thanks Lee! Yeah, that clamp leg tripod of ours definitely suffered as soon as we took it onto a beach, despite our best efforts to keep it clean. I have to say though, the screw leg one is holding up pretty well, it makes so much difference being able to take everything apart and clean easily afterwards. Hopefully it will last a good bit longer! Sam.
Very nice images and good advice throughout. Great job!
Thank you very much Kevin! Sam
Beautiful Sam. Nicely done.
Thank you very much Ray!
Great video with much usefull tips and information without just talking. Congratulations!!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Sam, very nice video.
Thank you Steve! S.
With the closest access to the sea 600km away (via the US) and nearly double that if we stay in Canada, getting to photograph seascapes will just be a rare occurrence. That said your video was absolutely beautiful and the images were spectacular.
Ah, yes , we are a bit spoiled in that regard here in the UK! Thank you Peter, I hope that the next one might be a bit more relevant, although I'm not sure our UK woods quite compare to those in Canada! Sam
A fantastic video well put together nicely edited and the commentary was spot on
Thanks very much Paul, I hope you guys are keeping well! Atb, Sam.
That was so helpful, thank you'
Thank you Orla! Glad it was helpful, definitely a very special location! Sam.
Hi Sam - We just stumbled onto your channel. Loved the seascape video/tutorial. We have been photographing in maritime environments and shooting seascapes for many years and really thought your video was spot on. We spend most of our time on the Oregon, Washington and B.C. coastline. We to substitute the wide angle lens for something a little longer (24 to 70mm). I don’t like changing lens on the shore and find that as the scene changes, I like the flexibility of being able to narrow the view as the light and scene changes. All the best.
Hi Corinne and Shawn, just had a quick look a your channel, I do love your van! I don't think Hannah will let me buy a camper van so I have to make do with a tent for now! What a wonderful part of the world you are based in for seascape photography. Hannah's sister lives in Seattle so we're hoping to make it out that way one day! I agree actually, I've only recently purchased the 16-35, and most of the seascapes I have photographed in the past have been taken on the 24-105mm. I definitely wouldn't want to change lenses on a beach so that extra range can be useful. Thank you for watching, Sam.
@@BosePhotography - Hope you subscribed.
@@TravelsofRedRover Certainly!
Good information, thanks.
Thanks Suzanne, glad you found it useful! S.
Lovely shots and great tips and advice a friend of mine accidentally upset her camera into the sea fortunately it wasn’t a high end camera but so easy to do
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that David, these places really can take their toll on equipment. I cut this video down a bit, but in the first cut I did tell the story of when I was at Boulder beach in Acadia national park and saw that happen to another photographer, and I also saw someone being knocked over by a wave (as well as their camera) at the iceberg beach in Iceland. You definitely need to be careful. I hope your friend has managed to replace her camera ok. Sam.
@@BosePhotography yep she did have a great week regards to Hannah
Another great video. Subbed 👍🙂
Thank you Stig! :)
@@BosePhotography 👍🙂
All sound advice sam
Thank you very much David! Looking forward to being able to head back to some coastlines eventually. Hope you're keeping well, S.
What’s the music between 1.5 minutes and 4 minutes.
It’s very soothing. Nice video.
Hi Fox, thank you very much! The music at 1.5-5 minutes is actually one of my own tracks. Music is another one of my hobbies in addition to photography! Sam.
a lot of post precessing going on
Magic seaweed is Rubbish it does not work you should never have recommended it!
