SUMMARY An automated photographic method is described for recording short‐interval changes in sand levels on a natural beach. Results of photographic technique are compared with profiles obtained by conventional surveying methods. Lapse‐time photography offers a wide range of possibilities for accurate and efficient beach measurements when information in large amounts is required.
