          • Should I rent equipment?

            • If you have only wide angle lenses or less than 200mm, I would recommend renting a telephoto lens. I wouldn't purchase a lens specifically for this workshop. Rental is the best way to go. Here are a couple links to online companies I recommend. www.lensrentals.com & www.borrowlenses.com. Also if you are local, ASAP PHOTO & CAMERA in Greenville, NC has a selection of rental gear. Call them ahead of time and schedule your camera or lens.

                  • Water proof waders. Telephoto & Wide angle lenses, tripod, any photography gadgets that you normally would. I would rather need it & have it than need it and not have it.
