How to prepare……
You will be carrying all that you bring for the whole day, you’ll want to pack light, but at the same time bring what you need. If you can, I recommend using a backpack instead of an over-the-shoulder camera bag.
Please wear good walking shoes because we will be on our feet most of the day. It will be easy to moderate walking, depending on how far you choose to go on the nature trails. Since there are no paved roads or sidewalks, the terrain can be uneven.
Weather…
This is a rain or shine (or fog) event. Dress accordingly for the weather, and dress in layers. It will be colder during the boat ride. The boat does have inside seating, however, if you want to photograph from outside while on the boat we recommend that you bring a light-weight wind breaker or rain jacket. And a light sweater that will pack easily once you’re on the island may be useful.
Camera equipment..
Any camera is acceptable, including smart phones and tablets. Make sure that your battery is fully charged and that you have plenty of room on your memory card for at least a few hundred pictures. Even so, we do recommend having a second memory card with you. If you have a DSLR you may want to bring additional lenses if you have them. Tripods can be bulky and heavy but if you usually use one then certainly bring it along.
Food – I recommend packing snacks, lunch, and drinking water. Prepare for a late lunch on the island. The cost of lunch is not included in the price of the photo tour.
Suggested items – sun protection; sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, etc. We will be outside most of the day.
Once you have registered you will be given further information about the tour and how to prepare. Please call if you have any questions before or after registration.
