What kind of camera do I need for these tours?
In order to take full advantage of the opportunities and techniques we will cover in our workshops, we would recommend an SLR camera.
However, at the end of the day, our tours are not about the media used to capture the image but more like the way we see the scene and light that effects its mood. In a few words, any camera will do. This could be a consumer, prosumer, medium or large format, panoramic, digital or film.
What other equipment will I need?
Your camera comes first of course but most importantly we recommend a cable remote shutter release for your camera and a sturdy tripod, the reason for that is that a tripod allows you to take your time and concentrate on composition as well as keeping your camera shake free and the cable release helps for long exposures and bracketing. We also recommend (if you have them of course) a set of neutral density graduated filters of 1/2/3 stops of exposure compensation. Also a polariser or any other filters that you own. Of course if you have a camera bag that keeps your equipment dry and safe, please bring it with you. You don't have to have all the above extras of course but they will help you to gain the most out of your workshop/tour.
How many people per group?
Our aim is to deliver intensive and very helpful tours & workshops and the only way to achieve this is to keep the group as small as possible. In the case of short workshops (up to 3 days), the group size is up to 4 people and the weekly ones up to 8 people per tutor. This way we can pay more attention to all members and make sure they go home with a much better understanding of the subject and as much experience gained as possible.
What does the price cover?
On every tour, there is specific information about what is included in the price and what is not. There are no hidden charges or any other add on, we like to be very clear on this.
I am interested in a specific tour but is fully booked.
Some of the tours are popular hence they are fully booked as soon as they become available. If you would like to take part on one of them, send us an email via our "contact" link and we will add your name to the list for the next ones.
Insurance cover, why?
We highly recommend that you obtain the appropriate travel insurance cover before you travel with us (whether abroad or in the UK).
The insurance must cover the loss, expenses and damages arising from the cancellation of the holiday (whether in whole or in part).
It should also cover personal accident, injury and medical costs as well as the loss of personal belongings and flight cancellations and delays.
Earth's beauty is not liable for all above.
Deposit, full price, what?
Lets explain a few things here. For the small tours (up to 3 days), we require full payment of the price at the time of booking as we have to pay in advance for accommodation etc. For the longer tours (up to 7 days), we require a deposit of usually £100-200 per person and the outstanding balance, around eight weeks before the date of the tour.
What if there are 2 of us booking together?
If two partners or simply two friends are willing to share a double room and we can save them money on accommodation, we will gladly do so. It all depends on the tour and the hotel we are staying of course. Please contact us as we might sort out a better deal, if you are thinking of bringing your other half with you.
Do you usually visit well known areas?
We visit some of the best areas around and to be more specific the prime locations of these areas and during the best times of day for the ultimate light available. We aim to give you a supreme experience of these landscape and we always go the extra mile to make sure you leave the course with the most amazing memories and much more confidence on your photographic skills. Our own experience, research and organisation help us to achieve this.
How strenuous are these tours?
We usually care for all ages and for this we allow our tours to be comfortable for everyone however, if any of the tours requires strenuous walks, it will be specified in the tour description. We try to keep on well developed and safe trails.
Who can take part on these tours?
Anyone with photography in mind or simply one that is just looking for new and exciting places to visit. As for the photographers, anyone is welcome. A beginner for instance that is looking for some help and guidance or learning the photography techniques in general. A more advanced photographer who could do with some extra help and experience or even a well advanced photographer who is simply looking for new and unknown places to visit.
How many memory cards or film will I need?
Aaah, a very good question. You see, memory cards or film are never enough and our answer would be to get as much as you can. You need to remember that we will be shooting almost all day and if the tour is a long one especially, you will need as much as you can get. Digital users with a laptop or a memory bank will be fine, as long as you remember to bring it along.
Single occupancy?
Of course. Unless otherwise stated in the details of a workshop, one participant occupies one room and that is without any surcharge.
