DO I NEED A REFLEX CAMERA?

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
We do not usually cancel experiences because a possible rain as most of the time is a great opportunity to play with textures, reflections and create more dramatic images. If availability permits it and the rain is serious, we will do our best to reschedule it for another day at no additional cost.
