Pretty much every other message I receive, whether it be on social media or during my daily life: “what photography gear do you use? What is the best brand? For the beginning, I would like to say, that camera of course is very important tool and It’s not just the camera you have to buy, everything else seems to change too; lenses, Tripods, camera bags, LensCovers, filters, and more.
We often hear “It’s not about the gear but the photographer behind it”. yes thats true and the most powerful gear for Creativity Is Your Mindset but also to be able as a landscape photographer to make a great high resolution images for large prints, you need a certain of advanced gear and tools.
This section lists my equipment recommendations for landscape, cityscape & outdoor photography. My suggestions here is based on my personal experience over the years and for the brands that i represent. Feel free to get in touch in case any of any clarifications.
