RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
Please note that these are only suggestions given by our experience. It is not necessary to have all the equipment reported, everyone prepares for the journey according to their needs.
For example, some people may only want to take pictures with a smartphone while others will want to take a drone with them. But it is our duty to guide you to a better choice.
In order to follow the activity of the workshop you will need a camera that allows to photograph with an exposure of at least 30 seconds.
For this kind of photography we recommend a Wide Angle lens (with a Focal Length of about 10 to 30 mm) and possibly with a Wide Aperture, the brighter, the better.
We know that choosing the right set of lenses is not easy. If you encounter difficulties and need some suggestions do not hesitate to contact us.
An essential accessory for this workshop.
The most important feature of a tripod is its weight and stability.
We highly recommend a good carbon fiber tripod, that maintains balance between weight/stability. A tripod that can easily change from one height to another, and that locks in little space.
Aluminum is also fine, as carbon is generally much more expensive.
We know that choosing a tripod is not easy and we are available to help you choose the right model for you.
We always recommend a UV protective filter for each lens.
Finding the right photo backpack can be a difficult challenge. We recommend you to rely on a brand with quality and experience in the market such as Think Thank, Lowepro or Manfrotto.
The type of backpack clearly depends on your equipment. But what really matters is that you feel comfortable with it and possibly fitted with a rain cover.
You can’t miss in your backpack: a cleaning kit for the lenses, a cable-remote control to shoot without touching the camera and set a longer exposure time, a lantern/flash lights to illuminate objects in the night and a robust / comfortable camera strap.
It is also important to take spare batteries with you. In addition to spare memory cards and if you have the possibility, a laptop computer (with Lightroom or Photoshop installed), so you can work in post-production with the workshop leader.
