Our friends took us to Eastbourne today. I hadn't been down to the coast since October 2008 (and that was a music promo shoot with a brief to follow) so I was really looking forward to going to the coast and taking shots for myself and, when I woke up this morning to bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky I was looking forward to it even more.We were doubtful that the weather would remain fine on the drive down to Eastbourne, but thankfully, the whole day was sunny. We walked from the Sovereign Harbour Marina almost all the way up to the pier when we stopped for ice cream. Yes, ice cream in February! After all the gloominess of my recent shots the weather today was really refreshing.When I take my camera out with me on non commercial days, I prefer to travel light and just take one lens (which just about fits into my little Crumpler bag). But after previous frustrations with regards to available focal length, I decided to take my 50mm, 10-20mm and my 70-300mm lenses, a tripod, and my grad filters today just in case. All this packed into my trusty camera backpack.Carrying this weight round is tiring but good practice for when I start my wedding photography services (where I'm going to have to carry two heavy cameras round my neck all day).
