The complete guide to shooting summer seas with Butter

Summer seas have two colors: yellow parasols and blue water. Butter blends them at their tastiest — warm yellow flatters skin while cool blue deepens the sea.

Butter's real strength is manufacturing the vacation feeling automatically. Same spot, same phone — but the photo becomes album-cover material.

Before 10am: light is white and harsh. Butter's warmth neutralizes it for balanced shots.

3–5pm: prime time. Slanted sunlight softly marries yellow and blue. Be on the beach then.

Sunset: when the sky turns orange, Butter makes movie-poster shots. Keep the horizon centered.

First, frame yellow with blue — hold a yellow float against the blue sea.

Second, keep people small. A tiny silhouette before a vast sea creates scale.

Third, mind your props. Blue swimwear, a yellow hat, a white linen shirt — intentional color tidies the frame.

Midday sun blows out exposure easily. Ease Butter's intensity down, shoot from shade, then compare as you move toward the light.

Never soak your camera. Use a waterproof pouch and wipe the lens often — droplets become bokeh sometimes, but mostly they're just smudges.
