Requirements & What to Bring:

For this workshop, you'll need to have your own transport to and from the workshop location.

Please also bring any food/water, or medications that you may need. I also recommend long sleeved clothing, sunscreen, a hat, a yoga mat to lay on (or similar) and insect repellent.

A reasonable fitness is required as we'll be doing some walking to get to our photography destinations from the carpark, so please come prepared and bring appropriate footwear. We expect this to be a fairly slow-paced workshop but you will need to be able to get up and down from the ground unassisted and walk a reasonable distance.
