· 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)?
There is a good possibility as they are still active during this time and we will be constantly on the hunt for them.
What do I need to pack?
The weather in Iceland never really gets warm but it will be around 0c-5c so pack warm 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 Iceland 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 maximize 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.
We want to acknowledge and thank the past, present, and future generations of all Native Nations and Indigenous Peoples whose ancestral lands we travel, explore, and play on. Always practice Leave No Trace ethics on your adventures and follow local regulations. Please explore responsibly!
