Sandboarding…
by Rodney Campbell on Nov.18, 2012, under Life, Photography
I assisted on a school music tour which one of my daughters attended (I was the resident photographer amongst other things).
On the last day of our trip we all went sandboarding at Stockton dunes at Anna Bay and we all – child or adult alike – had an outrageously good time. I’d never tried this before but after experiencing it I can highly recommend it.
We had bright sun and totally clear blue skies with some wind to temper the hot conditions. I decided to just take the D600 fitted with the 85/1.8G prime lens (I wasn’t keen on either changing lenses or using a lens which could drag in a lot of sand) and I think it turned out to be the ideal choice.
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
My daughter leads the pack down the slopes…

I think this one just about epitomises how we felt about the experience 🙂

It was tiring work trekking up the dunes in the deep sand but worth the exercise
