Essential Equipment

Equipment needed for Perfecting Lansdcape Photography

Landscape photography in winter, demands warm clothing, layer up.

Here's a picture of me experimenting with a zoom burst shot, using my head and camera strap to stabilise the camera.   I am twisting the zoom whilst depressing the shutter.

Lens Technical Information

Tamron 70-200mm SP A001 f/2.8 LD AF IF Di Telephoto Zoom Lens Nikon

 

While overall dimensions are confined to the absolute minimum, the SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 zoom lens is packed with features that allow stress-free photography: a versatile MFD of just 37.4" over the entire zoom range; best-in-class

maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f200mm; and an advantageous internal focusing (IF) system. The tele-zoom lens covers a desirable focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on full-size format SLR cameras and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm ultra telephoto when mounted on a DSLR camera with an APS-C sized image

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lens above s also available with Vibration Control (VC)

However I could not afford the VC version in both lenses.  Therefore I chose to buy the VC version  of the lens below.  Which is more of a versatile allround lens being 24-70mm
