THE UYUNI SALT FLAT AND THE DALI DESERT
BOLIVIA
This workshop is one of the all-time favorites because of the photographic quality of all these places we go to. The great Uyuni Salar is the largest open roof salt mine in the world, and that on the dates we attend we have unparalleled reflections.
Bolivia is a very large country, but without a doubt, all the places we attend we bring out the best we have seen.

WORKSHOP BASICS
In case of not having any element, be it a camera, tripod, lenses or filters, GarciaferroTeam takes care of everything. We can rent you all the equipment that is necessary.
It must be an interchangeable lens camera. Preferably a recent fully manual operation, regardless of whether it is low or intermediate range. Since we will be using a large number of the camera's functions, we recommend having sufficient prior knowledge of the camera, so as not to have problems with the settings.
The tripod is one of the essential tools for this workshop. Given that the vast majority of camera accidents are due to a lack of knowledge and practice with the equipment, we recommend bringing a good tripod that is fully mastered, especially since we will work at night, it will demand the best of us and our team.
Within the workshop we cover both telephoto and wide angle ends. Wide angles (14-20mm) are recommended for the entire nightscape. And a medium telephoto (200mm) to find new angles in the landscape. If you want to take plant photography, the use of a macro is recommended.
Bolivia is one of the best places to do Long Exposure. In case of not having ND Filters, we can rent demo filters of the GarciaferroGear brand
