Day to day shedule
This is a carefully curated photo tour along the most beautiful spots of the Opal Coast. The diversity that the Opal Coast has to offer makes it a fantastic sustainable destination for a photography trip. And all that close to home! You can start the journey from the Netherlands, with even an extra pick-up point in Belgium. A richly filled memory card and a fantastic experience guaranteed. Let yourself be surprised!
Day 1
We'll depart in the morning from the shared departure point near Nijmegen. There's an additional departure point in Antwerp, if that's more convenient. The fun begins on the drive to the Opal Coast, where we'll get to know each other. We'll be staying in the picturesque town of Wissant for the entire trip, which will serve as our base. All the photo locations will be within easy reach, allowing us to maximize our photography time. Of course, after checking in and satisfying our appetites, we'll head out immediately. Long exposure photography is planned on one of the Opal Coast's most beautiful beaches.
Day 2 until day 5
The ideal time of year is to be able to set off at a reasonable time for sunrise. Even though we're on the west coast, there are undoubtedly some fantastic spots where we can take advantage of the morning light. Fort Vauban is a prime example. We determine the best conditions each day; after all, we have plenty of time and we'll cover everything. Naturally, we'll set off at sunset to end the day in the most beautiful light. We know the most beautiful spots, so every day brings new inspiration.
We love offering variety and diversity, and we're going to experience it for you. Boulogne-sur-Mer boasts some truly amazing street art to photograph. Paintings and graffiti art towering sky-high. A delight to see and capture. Of course, we'll help you with composition and settings to create dynamic photos. As the icing on the cake, we'll visit the Basilica and a military cemetery, which will impress you and result in some beautiful, captivating photos. And as if that weren't enough of a treat, we'll also visit the shipwreck of the Epave du Lord Grey and its characteristic fishing poles. This can only be photographed at low tide and makes for spectacular images! Le Cap Blanc Nez is a gem of a beach, where we'll not only explore landscape photography but also light painting as a discipline.
Day 6
Of course, we'll make the most of this last day. We'll visit Batterie Todt, so we'll finish with a good impression of this region and the role it played. Along the way, we'll finish with a well-deserved lunch and reflect on an exciting trip. So many impressions, so many beautiful photos, and new photo friends—it's a joy to reminisce once you're back home! After returning, we'll quickly schedule a photo discussion where we'll review each other's photos.
