EQUIPMENT
You will need to bring: - Your camera - A macro lens or other alternative that will allow you to take close-up images. (Extension tubes, macro filter, zoom lens with macro feature, etc) - Tripod or bean bag: You will be doing a lot of work at ground level and may need stability. A tripod with a low level adapter, reversible column or multi-angle column is ideal. - Waterproof and warm clothing: Autumn can be very wet and cold. You will be outdoors for numerous hours and will need to be warm and comfortable. The ground can also be damp and muddy in places, so appropriate footwear is necessary. - Any other gear you would like to bring: I will provide some LED panel lights and a knee rests, but please bring your own and any other accessories you feel you may need as well.
