Join us for a fun-filled day of photography at the Manhattan Beach Open Volleyball tournament! This event is a fantastic opportunity to capture the energy and action of professional beach volleyball in one of the sport's most iconic locations!
Parking: We recommend parking at Pacific Elementary School (1200 Pacific Avenue, Manhattan Beach). Parking is free, and shuttle service to the tournament site begins at 9:00 a.m. So be parked before 9:00 to grab the first shuttle!
Meeting Time & Location: We will meet at the Pier Entrance at 9:30 a.m. Please be on time, as this will allow us to get settled and find the best vantage points for photography. Make sure to move around the various courts to find the best backgrounds and light angles.
What to Bring:
- Camera/Lenses: Bring your camera and medium-length lens. A 70-200 mm lens or comparable is ideal for capturing the fast-paced action.
- Water: Stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Small stool: A portable stool or seat cushion will make it easier to get comfortable as you shoot.
- Sunscreen/Hat: Protect yourself from the sun, as we'll be outdoors for most of the day.
This is a wonderful chance to practice sports (photojournalism) photography and enjoy a day at the beach with fellow photography enthusiasts. We look forward to seeing you there!
