Photo Tips

Shot ideas and timing notes

Each photo spot is broken out into its own card so the page is usable as a quick visual planning guide.

Spot

Best time to shoot : Early morning or late afternoon, when the sunlight filters through the trees.
Photography tips : Experiment with different angles to capture the unique shapes and patterns created by the hanging moss. Use a wide-angle lens to capture the vastness of the forest. Consider including a person in the frame to add a sense of scale and storytelling.

Spot

Best time to shoot : Golden hour, just before sunset, for warm and soft light.
Photography tips : Incorporate leading lines from the boardwalk to create depth and guide the viewer's eye. Experiment with long exposure techniques to capture the motion of the waves against the boardwalk. Play with different compositions, such as framing the boardwalk with the dunes or capturing people walking along it.

Spot

Best time to shoot : Morning or early evening, when the light is softer and casts long shadows on the dunes.
Photography tips : Focus on capturing the texture and patterns of the dunes, especially during low tide when the rippled sand is exposed. Look for interesting shapes or sand formations to create visually appealing compositions. Experiment with different angles, such as shooting from a low perspective to emphasize the height of the dunes.

Spot

Best time to shoot : Early morning or late evening, when wildlife tends to be more active.
Photography tips : Bring a telephoto lens to capture close-up shots of the wildlife without disturbing them. Patience is key for capturing authentic moments, so observe quietly and wait for the right opportunities. Pay attention to details, such as the animals' behavior or unique physical features, to tell a more impactful story through your images.

Spot

Best time to shoot : Sunrise or sunset, for dramatic lighting and colors.
Photography tips : Arrive early or stay late to avoid crowds and capture the pier in its pristine state. Use a tripod to photograph long exposure shots of the ocean, creating a smooth and ethereal effect. Experiment with different shutter speeds to capture both the movement of the water and the stillness of the pier.
