How challenging will the hiking be? PLEASE READ, IMPORTANT!

Hiking? Who said anything about hiking? Yes, we will be walking to some locations. The distances are typically no more than 1 km or so. However, all locations will require a walk, including hills. If you have mobility problems, this is probably not your trip. 

What camera gear should I bring?

The following are some recommendations. Generally, we will be focusing primarily on landscape photography but may encounter some wildlife shooting opportunities. Ideally, since we will be walking throughout the day and carrying our gear, equipment should be kept to a minimum. Here is a list of what we typically carry in the field.
