To make the most of your workshop you'll need a DSLR or Bridge camera with the option to use MANUAL MODE. Please also bring your camera's manual if you have it!
Sturdy walking shoes
We'll be heading off the beaten path to get to some of the locations so good shoes and weather relevant clothes / coats are essential
A Tripod
Popping your camera on a tripod, even in great lighting conditions helps you create and frame your scene and put thought into the image you're looking to create. We wont be able to shoot at sunset without one
