I am so excited. Tomorrow my family and I are going to the beach. I haven't been in 6 years. How do I get those wonderful beach pictures without getting sand in my camera?
Don't change lenses. Putting your camera body in a shower cap with the lens sticking out is also an option, but just don't change lenses unless you have to.

Also, we plan to make a trip to the Texas State Aquarium. I have never tried to take pictures of fish in water through glass. Any suggestions on that??
Use a lens hood, an off camera flash is nice, but not necassary. Stick your lens till the hood is touching the glass. Up your ISO if you have no flash. A polorizer can e used, but it will lower your ss even more than it will be already. A monopod could be useful. They porobably don't allow tripods, but most places don't restrict monopods.
Post your stuff when you get back. I'd love to see it.
