Vera Playa 2010
 

Took my first stab of the summer at getting some shots on Vera Playa in Spain. It wasn't too busy today so the pickings were slim enough - but I'm hoping to improve on these over the next few weeks. Anyway - here's a taster of what I managed to get today - it's not a patch on the stuff some of the other submitters here are posting on a regular basis - Pedro the Fisherman, I'm looking at you... - but hopefully some of you will enjoy them for what they are.

I'm hoping to imporve on this effort over the weekend.

Not bad for a first attempt! :D

Can offer some advice? Can you set your camera to 'Landscape' mode. that should allow the camera to not auto-focus on things like your bag, it should also stop the possible flash, not a thing to do! Weekends, more targets, but be careful, there are often more people around to see you taking shots. On the whole. weekdays are best IMHO. However, I will attempt (weather permitting) some weekend shots, this weekend.

Oh, and all that SAND! ugh, I try to keep to shingle beaches, the sand is a camera killer! Good Luck!

Great advice. Landscape eh? I'll give it a go. Stayed tuned for more attempts.

Great Photos.
Nice to see some more Original NUDE Beach work... Keep it going, hope to see more from you soon!!

Wow! Another Spanish beach voyeur. Excellent!!!

Muffjunkie, how far are you positioned away from the shower at Vera Playa? In the Lola Vera Playa videos, the camera guy got some good shots of women showering. I'm just wondering if you plan to get any shower pics. I have to imagine the shower would be a good place to capture some naked women. Maybe I'm wrong.

I know I speak for many when I say we can't wait to see some more pictures. :)

I envy your location and thank you for your willingness to share the fruits of your labor! :cool:

I was quite a ways from the shower - which was a pity because the chick with the tatoo on her side went for a pretty long shower when she was leaving and man did it look good. I picked my spot yesterday because with the beach so empty it was the only place with some nice looking girls hanging around. I'll make sure I set up near the shower on at least one of the days to see how I fare.

Glad you guys are enjoying the pics.

Just another thought, the showers are great, but in my experience, there are usually several single men already set up in the 'best seats' for this show. Single men in Spain tend to look very closely at everything ( but the women in particular), northern Europeans tend to bring i-pods or books, Spanish guys just stare. This can cramp you freedom to snap, it is a while since I was at Vera Playa, (it's 2-3 hours drive from here), so I may be over stating what it is like there. The above comments are about my locality.

Another thing worth thinking about (which you may do already) is positioning yourself so the sun lights your subjects, and avoid pointing to the sea, as this causes light problems too, with reflected light. One final thought (sorry, this was not meant to a lecture;)) try to avoid setting up next to girls without any men (unless you have a lady with you), girls are (rightly?) suspicious of single guys getting close. They will be keeping an eye on you, my method is to look inocent......and (with luck;)), they will come to you!

Good luck!!!!

LOL! I laughed when I read that because that is where I would be. :D Showering nude babes are sexy and I would think the shower to be a great place to stake-out waiting for some tasty treats to come along.

Yeah, Muffjunkie, we are enjoying your pictures. I am certain you know we would love to see more. :)

I was hoping to go on another mission today but things are looking very overcast so it might have to be called off. I'm away for a few days then so my next chance might be next week. I'll be sure to update as soon as I have something worthy of posting though. Thanks for the support guys.
