<p>First of all, thank you all for your insightful responses, it is greatly appreciated. Can anyone inform me or at least point me in the right direction in finding the right polarizing filter?<br>

(Canon 50D)<br>

Thanks Again<br>

<p>This year I am lucky enough to be able to visit Hawaii in the summer and Turks and Caicos in November. I am just starting photography and have a Canon 50D with the 18-55mm lens that it came with, along with a 55-250mm zoom lens that I recently purchased. I also have a tripod, a uv filter, extra batteries etc. (and a bag to hold all of this)</p>

<p>I would love to take some great beach/sea photos but am still learning all of this and feel a little overwhelmed. I have tried to capture the blurry effect when i first got my camera but i have learned a little more since then. I was looking into a remote shutter release and was wondering if anyone knows of one that is compatible with the Canon 50D. Basically, I am asking for advice on capturing the blurriness by the seaside and wondering if there is <em>any other necessary equipment</em> to help take pictures at these beautiful places. I understand that equipment isn't everything but can ease the process. Furthermore, any advice from more experienced photographer about becoming more comfortable with my camera would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice<br>

(if there is any other info you need, please let me know)<br>

<p>Thank you all for your advice. I will look in to all of these books. </p>

<p>Thanks again,<br>

<p>Hey guys, I am looking for a good beginner photography book (or any other way of info) to learn the basics to more advanced techniques in photography. I have a Canon 50D.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any help,<br>

Cole</p>

<p>Thank you all so much for your help and I will keep all of your suggestions in mind, when looking for the right lens.<br>

Thank you,<br>

<p>At the moment all I have is the 18-55mm lens that my 50D came with. I have done little research but I think a tele lens would fit for what I am trying to do. Any lens that can take a subject somewhat far away and make it look as if it is right in front of me (and clear) will work for me. I have a couple hundred saved up and with the help of Christmas money, I believe anything that isn't to crazy (under $1000) is do-able. I just need a good lens at a good price for a beginner photographer.</p>

<p>First of all thank you for your help, and I usually like to shoot in the morning and throughout the day, I love nature photography but also action. So it would be nice to find a lens that would be comparable for both. I will try to find a good rental place.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I am young and very new to photography but have a great desire to pursue a career in it. I recently purchased a Canon 50D and have been playing around for a few months. I would really love to purchase a zoom lens but do not know where to start or what to buy, I realize it wont be cheap but I am willing to start saving up money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thank You,<br>
