To ensure a smooth photography experience, it is recommended to bring two cameras, one full frame body with a regular lens and one half frame for a zoom lens, to avoid time spent on lens changes.
A 24-70 and 70-200 lens are necessary for sunrise, while a 70-200 lens is more useful for sunset photography. Additionally, a primary lens with a big aperture (1.4 or 1.8) is recommended for low-light indoor photography.
Tripod and head light/torch light are necessary. It would also be great if you could bring a mini tripod for your mobile phone to capture time-lapse footage during sunrise and sunset.
Polarizer filters and ND filters are optional.
