The kit that earns its weight
A 24–70mm zoom and a 70–200mm cover almost everything. The 70–200 is the secret weapon — Faroese fog compresses beautifully through it. Add a wide (16–35mm) only if you specifically want the waterfall-at-cliff genre.
Carbon tripod, ND filters, plenty of cleaning cloths. The spray is constant.
How to read the weather
Wind speed is the most important number. Below 6 m/s opens long exposures. Visibility 8–20 km is the telephoto sweet spot. Humidity over 90% with low wind signals fog.
