When visiting Europe, it is easy to get pulled in to wonderfully expensive destinations in the French/Swiss Alps, Greek islands, Norwegian Fjords, and others like this, but there are still some hidden gems. There still exists a less expensive side of places like the Mediterranean where you can still get sparkling seas and delicious food without the hefty bill.
There are many options to photograph on the coast capturing images of seascapes. It is all too easy to understand the golden light from sunrise/sunset works well and shoot ultra-wide images including the sea, sand, and sky. This is a limiting frame of mind to be in though as it takes the entire day of landscape photography and boils it down to 1-2 hours at the beginning and end.
The biggest lie in landscape photography is that you need a wide angle lens. I was deceived by the allure of a wider perspective that captured more than everything I could see.
