I’m taking my photos on the beach between East Runton and Cromer of an old war building that has now been buried in the sand. Here are the safety precautions I need to think about:
>make sure the tide is going out
>make sure not to get sand on the lens
>make sure the camera doesn’t go near the water
>look where you’re going whilst taking photos so not to fall over
>don’t take photos of people that don’t want their photos to be taken
>don’t go too close to the cliff edge
>plan a date with no rain or get water proof equipment
It is easy to access and isn’t too far away from an exit off the beach if a quick exit is needed. I will take another person with me to hold any equipment so not to get sand in anything. The location is very safe as it’s a public beach with lifeguards and is used all year round by members of the public.
The equipment I will take with me:
>Canon 5d mark 1
>Reflector (in case the sun doesn’t reach specific areas)
>Lens hood (in case the sun is too bright/to stop sun glare)
>Something to lay on to get low profile shots
>Micro fibre cloth (to clean the lens if it gets dirty)
>Coat/bag (in case it rains so that the camera doesn’t get wet)
