Preparation

Preparation for Bridlington Shoot

So I‘ve booked a flat for 2 nights, rather than a hotel room, gives me a lot more room to work, loading slides, storing my gear and basically a bit more freedom in case I wish to nap on the afternoon before heading out on a late night shoot. In-fact it works out a little cheaper.

Due to work commitments, it took me 2 evenings to prepare all my equipment. Could not believe how much I’m taking, but seems I’m after large format colour images and I can’t rely on the British weather, I also packed medium format for speed compared to the large format, but I also packed digital too just as a complete back up.

Taking in to account that I’m after night time shots, I had to pack flash, batteries, chargers, tripod, remote shutter release etc.

Energy bars to give me the strength to carry it all, plus 6 bottle of cava and prosecco to get me through - sounds about right

After all this bet it just rains or no one will be there, so may just need a back-up plan for harbour, boats and equipment.
