Photography Equipment Tips
For lenses, we recommend 70-200 and 150-600. For birds, a focal length between 400-600 will be the best. Extra battery, tripod, flash, LED light, etc. For nature photos, we recommend an ordinary focal length of 14 mm to 35 mm. But also, compact cameras and mobiles will, in some cases, give you good wildlife photos. If you are considering upgrading or investing in new camera gear prior to the trip, please feel free to ask us for advice!
Please be advised that the weather in Svalbard is unpredictable. Participants should dress appropriately with several layers of warm clothing that is both windproof and waterproof.
In addition, this tour can run longer than advertised.
