When preparing for a day of shooting on the coast, I always pack essential gear to ensure I capture stunning images. First, I bring my camera with multiple lenses to adapt to various landscapes and subjects. A sturdy tripod is also crucial for stability, especially in windy conditions. I never forget extra batteries and memory cards to avoid running out mid-shoot. Weather can be unpredictable, so I pack a protective cover for my equipment. Additionally, I carry snacks and water to stay energized while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
