LF at the beach

[Diane Maher]

Does anyone take their LF gear to the beach?

[David Hedley]

Yes;

West Maui: Fujinon 65mm, TMax100 / Rodinal

Nice log David. An excellent example of what to take in the midday sun - see another thread.

Diane,
Why the question? But yes I take mine - but not with the family because we don't do beach holidays. I take it to make pictures.

Steve,
Because although I am going there to take a pt/pd printing workshop, I have a full day beforehand that I can get out with a nice, relaxing LF camera. I wasn't sure if it was worth the cost of taking the tripod and paying to check the bags. However, the pictures that have been posted here show that it is worth it.

Diane,
Go for it. There's bound to be a wealth of subject matter there, wherever there is.
If you take a look on my website you'll find numerous examples of shoreline images in b&w in three of my gallery pages. Perhaps some of them may fire you up:

Thanks Steve! You have some great images there (and I only browsed through the first gallery).

Nothin' to photograph at the beach...

Extend the bottom legs of your pod before you get to the sand -- this will help keep sand out of the bottom leg joints. Enjoy!

I took a crown graphic to Waikiki once. It was a great way to meet chicks, but I was there with my bride and children!

I try to take the 8x10 to the coast at least once a year. Why not?

I've been thinking about taking my whole plate camera with me (the kit fits into a laptop bag), but I have to fly and was planning to take my digital with one lens also. I don't want to overpack and thus have to pay for multiple checked bags.
