· Frequently asked Questions ·
What level of photographic skills do I need?
"This workshop and photo tour are open to all skills from beginners all the way to the pros as long as you have a love of photography and a willingness to go out and learn every day."
What Camera gear do I need to bring?
"The minimum you will need is a camera DSLR/mirrorless, one Lens, Tripod, and Laptop for daily group edit sessions. Also recommended to bring an ND filter and wide angle lens for beautiful Landscapes."
Will I see the Northern Lights (Aurora)?
Their is a decent possibility during this trip to Norway, but it all depends on weather and solar activity.
What do I need to pack?
The weather in Norway never really gets warm but it will be around 10c-12c so pack layers, hats, & gloves. I recommend wool base layers, and waterproof layers are a must as well as a good pair of hiking boots.
What is the weather like?
We are hitting Norway in the best time in terms of the light and weather with winter just ending and with spring in full swing. We will enjoy lovely days and starry filled nights with the chance of the aurora every day.
Will there be the opportunity to do other activities?
Of course. We do have a packed 7-day itinerary to maximise your time on the trip but we do recommend you arrive before and stay after so you can experience more of Iceland on your own & we will provide advice and recommendations on fun things to do that we might have missed.
