Terrace for some after dark street photography.

- Either a prime lens of 35 or 50mm (Full Frame Equivalent) or a zoom lens.
- I am using a 24-70 zoom.
- Extra battery/s if you have them - make sure they are fully charged
- Comfortable walking shoes and warm clothes
- Please travel light and it’s best not to take large backpacks as we need to
