Great light often comes with bad weather, so a photography weekend needs protection as well as good kit. This list covers what many photographers carry for a short trip, from rain covers to spare batteries.
What to look for
- Shoot at the golden hour, early morning and late evening, for the best light.
- Protect your camera from rain, spray and sand, and carry a lens cloth.
- A tripod is essential for sunrise, sunset and long exposures.
- Carry spare batteries, because cold weather drains them quickly.

For sunrise, sunset and long exposures, yes. In good light you can often shoot handheld.
How do I protect my camera in the rain?
Use a rain cover or a plastic bag with a hole for the lens, and keep a cloth to wipe the front element.
