Bring a tripod for night shots
Night sessions require long exposures—pack a stable tripod and a remote shutter or self-timer to avoid blur.
Charge and swap batteries
Long teaching sessions and live view use drain batteries quickly; bring at least one spare and a charger.
Plan for golden hour
Schedule the tour near sunrise or late afternoon for the best side light and warm tones on sandstone and water.
Wear grippy shoes
Jetties and cobbled laneways can be slippery—water-resistant shoes with good traction keep you steady while composing.
Digital camera with manual mode
Necessary to practice aperture, shutter speed and ISO adjustments taught on the tour.
Compact tripod
Required for night and long-exposure shots on the harbour and jetties.
Extra batteries and memory cards
Spare power and storage ensure you can shoot throughout the session without interruption.
Weather-resistant footwear
Grippy, water-resistant shoes help on wet jetties and cobbled laneways.
