How to get super blue water
Have you ever taken a picture of water only to have it turn out gray and washed out? This frequently happens when you take pictures looking toward the sun. In this example not only is the blue of the water grayed out, but the sky is too. Plus the sun is reflecting off the water and causing a lot of glare. Glare creates hot spots in your photos and can easily fool your camera’s autofocus.
One very effective way to get more blue from water is to shoot with the sun behind you. This cuts down on the glare which lets more of the color show.
