Hi @Christina-NYC

I’m not on the Northern Hemisphere. I’m on the equator in between Northern and Southern Hemisphere. 

I currently in town call Kribi in Cameroon for little vacation with my family. 

I really like your tips, I used some of them to capture pictures this week. Already on Google Maps and I would like to share some of them with you!

Really beautiful tips for beach photography. 

How to capture photos in mobiles and cameras avoid from dust and dirt in the beach. 

About horizon and horizontal level photos in the beach. 

Golden time for best photos with capturing the beauty of nature. 

Regards

Great write-up @Christina-NYC, I am curious, however, how you'd address photos with people?  Would you take them with people in them?  I know some people may feel a little insecure, especially if they're there in their swimsuits...

The one thing I try to do is adjust the horizon to be level, unless you are going for that tilted look, anything not straight triggers my OCD.

Again, keeping the horizon level.

Barbados - Brown's Beach (Samsung Galaxy Note 4)

And when I lived in India.
