WHAT IS THE ACTIVITY LEVEL LIKE?
Our Big Bend UNIQUE / Workshops do not require a great deal of hiking / walking. Usually, our shooting locations only require us to travel less than 1/4 mile from our vehicles. However, there are some considerations for our students regarding the physical requirements of our workshops and in-field shooting sessions. Students should be able to:
-
Walk unassisted over uneven terrain while carrying their camera equipment
-
Traverse and manage terrain that includes uneven rocks, loose sand/gravel, and level changes
-
Stand or be on their feet several hours (don't worry, you can bring chairs!)
-
Successfully maneuver and negotiate walking at night by flashlight in a rocky, desert environment
If you have specific questions about the physical aspects of our workshops, contact Tony via email at tony@319photography.com
