Dear 365, im 15, and i love photography.

so im at the beach during this week and im definatly going to take pictures. But I don't want to take anything boring so i need some ideas and I'll also add my own taste into it.

I'm also a new photographer, if anyone would like to look at my pictures, could you give me any advice. thanks everyone :]

Welcome to 365! :D
My advice is to take pictures of everything, and lots of them. That way you get big diversity and you're bound to get a lot of good photos!
If all else fails, just look for things that you like, and try to capture it in the lens. {:
Have fun at the beach! I'm actually going this week, too.

There are a million possibilities! Make sandcastles or draw in the sand and take photos, get shots of the ocean or find little beach creatures to take photos of in rock pools. If you're running out of ideas you could even find a nice shell on the beach and take a few macro shots?

Possibilities are endless. I'm sure there'd be a bunch of birds there that wouldn't mind being models for you too!

Kirsten have you been looking at the pictures on her, you'll get the idea that if you Point and shoot at anything and everything , you will get some amazing things. This is a fun place to be, just enjoy it and start clicking - Good Luck and Best wishes.
I'll go check out your photos and you can have a look at mine when you get a chance. Though I will never see 15 again, I'm learning heaps.

Kirsten, you could also use your time perusing the albums to get ideas and inspiration from some 365-ers who live near the beach and take fabulous shots. Start with this one (hope you don't mind, William!)...

go for different angles too. try a taking a shot of the beach while on your belly. or lay on your back and take one looking up at the sky... when you take a shot from a new perspective it always adds interest and you learn to see things in a whole new way. have a fabulous time and wish I could be at the beach too! :)
