Bring comfortable walking/trekking shoes suitable for cliffs and beaches, a wind- and rain-proof jacket, layers (fleece or pile pullovers), gloves, a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. A headlamp can be useful for early morning or evening shoots. In winter or shoulder seasons, warmer clothing is essential.
