What Do I Need to Bring Along?

It doesn’t matter what camera equipment you have. During the photo walk, your tutor can show you what settings to use and when to make the most of a moment. It’s a good idea to pack light with room for snacks and water.

Bring along a couple of memory cards and a spare battery too. It’s up to you if you want to take your tripod and lens filters, simply consider the location and the weather on the day.

Though most of the exhibitions are indoors, some larger jets and planes we’ll visit are outdoors.

There is a cafe on-site as well as bathroom facilities with accessibility. 

How Long Does a Photo Walk Last?

Our visit to the RAF Museum Midlands should last approximately 5 hours.

During the day, you can chat to fellow photographers and find out a little more about what they enjoy shooting. It’s a great way of making photo friends if you normally shoot alone.

We’ll spend time composing our shots to capture the scale, power and grandeur of these incredible machines.
