Photopoints

Taking repeated photographs over time from fixed photopoints is an excellent method for illustrating change in vegetation cover.Taking repeated photographs over time from fixed photopoints is an excellent method for illustrating change in vegetation cover.Photographs taken from fixed points (photopoints) can systematically capture changes in the vegetation and dune morphology over time.

Tips for effective photopoints

  • Locate each photopoint on a high point on the dunes along the transect to best cover a representative section of the dune.
  • Where possible site the camera from a fixed point such as a permanent structure on or near the transect such as a fence post or peg. Use the start point if this provides a representative photograph of the transect.
  • Select a view that will show change in dune vegetation over time due to your restoration efforts. Frame the view so that it will be easy to repeat in future.
  • If possible position the camera to the north of the subject area to minimise shadows and sun glare. Try to minimise the need to zoom.
  • Repeat photographs each time you survey your site, preferably at the same time of the year using the same camera angle.
  • If possible, have a copy of the last photo you took from each photopoint, to help replicate previous photos as closely as possible.
