Sequence

• We set off daily from the agreed meeting point as a group to the respective spots. Distances of up to 50 km are possible between spots. Therefore, carpooling is recommended.
• The selection of daily spots depends on the weather and can therefore change at short notice to ensure the best photo experience.
• Saturday will be a long day, so please expect little sleep.
• A normal general physical condition is a prerequisite, as distances of more than an hour often have to be covered and these may include stairs.
  

All final information will be sent by email approximately 4 weeks before the course begins.
