Upon signing up, you will receive a detailed PDF including everything you’ll need to bring with you.
I’ve also provided this below for reference.
Camera Equipment
Pro Tip: For landscape & night photography, you don’t need much photo gear.
It’s better to become an expert at the minimum amount of gear required to take great photos.
Here’s the equipment I use for reference.
Here is what you should bring:
- Camera Backpack with tripod strap. We will be hiking 1-2 miles with gear.
- 1 DSLR or Mirrorless Camera: Full frame is preferred but any camera will work.
- 1 Wide Angle Lens: Between 8mm-24mm. Widest f-stop of f/4 or f/2.8 for night sky shooting.
- 1 Telephoto Lens: Anything in the 50-200mm range.
- 1 Tripod. Any will work but the sturdier the better.
- 2 Memory Cards: 32 GB or larger.
- 5 Batteries Fully Charged
- 1 Camera Battery Charger. Charge at your hotel every night.

Clothes, Gear, and Other Items
You will be provided with a detailed checklist of everything you’ll need for the workshop upon signing up.
Here is an overview:

Sleeping / Lodging Arrangements
Hotel fees are not included in the cost of the workshop.
Our base camp will be in Brookings, Oregon.
I recommend either of the following motels for both nights of the workshop. I have stayed in both to ensure their quality.
Option 1: Beachfront Inn, Brookings, OR
Option 2: Ocean Suites Motel, Brookings, OR
Transportation
You are responsible for your own transportation to/from and during the workshop.
Here is what I recommend:
Air Transportation
Fly into Portland Airport (PDX). This is the closest large airport to Brookings.
I consider the drive from Portland, along the Oregon Coast to be one of the best in the world
It is a 6-hour drive to Brookings, Oregon from Portland.
- If you’re short on time it’s easy to do this drive in a half day.
- Have an extra day or two? I’ll provide you with a good beachfront motel and some of my favorite shooting locations to stop at on the way.
Rental Car Information
For those of you who need to rent a car for the workshop, I would suggest renting a small to mid-sized sedan that holds all of your gear and does fairly well on fuel economy.
You do not need a 4WD, truck, or SUV at any time during the workshop.
Ther are car rental services at Portland Airport.
Can I Bring a Friend?
If your friend brings a camera (phone doesn’t count) they must pay for workshop admission.
If they don’t bring a camera, they are welcome to tag along free of charge.
