Top-down shorelines: three composition tips

Shorelines are one of the easiest places to get a striking aerial photo.

1. Point the camera straight down. The line where water meets sand becomes the subject.
2. Put the shoreline on a diagonal instead of straight across the frame.
3. Shoot early or late. Low sun shows the texture in the sand and waves, and midday light flattens it.
