Dear Subscriber,
Are you planning to do some beach photography this summer?
My son, David, took these pictures during a family vacation on Florida's gulf coast.
I'll be using David's beautiful photos to offer some suggestions you can use in your own photography.

We're offering super-sized 6" x 9" prints for just 40¢ each all summer long.
I'll also give you a convenient way to create impressive portfolios when you order 6" x 9" proofs.
I think you'll find these tips useful.

Idea #1: Combine Geometric Shapes With Vivid Colors
Use Opposing Colors:
Complementary (opposite) blues and yellows make this lifeguard station really stand out.
There are also shapes within shapes, giving the viewer a lot of satisfying "eye candy."
Use Simple Colors:
David shot just two colors to produce a pleasing contrast.
The diagonal beam in the lower right holds the composition together.

Idea #2: Use Narrow Depth of Field To Isolate Subtle Colors & Objects
| Leica S2 w/70mm 1/3000th of a sec. @ f/2.5 |
A wide f/stop separated the blades of grass from the background colors for an attractive composition.

Idea #4: Tell A Day's Story in a Single Frame
Toys in the sand, an abandoned sand castle and the family taking one last swim all combine to tell the story of a glorious day in the sun.
Why this picture works:
- It utilizes the "Rule of Thirds" - The toys and sand castle are in the bottom third of the
picture, the family is in the upper third and the reflections of the
water and sand comprise the center third.
- Narrow depth of field keeps the foreground sharp, with the family just slightly out of focus in the distance.
- The dlinieating lines in the water separate the thirds while connecting the picture elements.

Idea #7: Consider Making Larger Proofs
Standard 4" x 6" prints are nice. But, for sheer impact they just can't compare to our super-sized 6" x 9" proofs.
| Relative Size of a 4" x 6" Prin |
See the size difference for yourself:
Draw both a 4" x 6" and a 6" x 9" box on a sheet of paper. Cut them out. Compare the two...and imagine the difference this can make to your prints.
| Comparative Size of a 6" x 9" Print |
Super-sized 6" x 9" prints are on sale on iPrints.com for just 40¢ ea! (Reg. 99¢)
Take advantage of our sale and you'll get magnificent pictures. Sale ends September 11th.
