[@nonanon666]

I'm not a big fan of "zoom with your feet", because I'm often shooting around water and steep stuff. One thing I love about the versatile range of my 24-105mm f/4L is the ability to stay above the high tide line of a beach swept clean by the ebbing tide, and try different compositions by zooming. Once you walk up to that foreground object and leave footprints, there's no going back! The same applies to snow, frost, delicate wildflowers, anything which will show traces of your intrusion. I've even ruined shots by failing to realize I had splashed water onto the dry portions of rocks poking out of a lake edge, and it stood out in the finished image.

[@westenbergerstephan5955]

I had been using for some years the Canon 700D which is an APS-C (Crop Sensor) camera. My lense was the superb Sigma 18-35 F1.8! I took really great shots but times passed by, I finally purchased a Sony A7III and what can I say.... BOOOOM. The dynamic range is exceptional, noise handling took my frames 5 levels up! I do a lot of images at dawn and in pitch black night. The Canon (though I liked it really much) always struggled at any ISO > 800. Black shadows suddenly became purple and the noise started to come in like taking pictures in a snow storm. With the Sony I do really enjoy, having a gear that won't disappoint me. There is nothing more sad than standing 3h at night taking images of the milky-way but realizing in post processing that the MOMENT I HAVE CAPTURED is not what the camera was able to store..... If you don't have the budget, by second hand! Try, learn, experience and grow... Save money and then by the gear you have been looking for (so desperately). And I tell you what...again, you will grow! :-)

Thanks Attilio, my aim this year is to acquire my first full-frame camera and filter system, but it will also require some new lenses. The Canon crop-sensor lenses are not much use on full frame, even with an adaptor, because you end up only exposing part of the frame. One other thing I would add, no matter what type of photography you do, you can be on your feet all day, so good shoes are essential.

[@davidmedeiros7572]

Attilio, I hope what I have to say here won’t sound too critical. I really like your channel and your videos. I even gave this video a thumbs up cause I like what you’re trying to do here! But I have some serious reservations with your recommendations, assuming we are talking to folks who are totally new to photography. . First, sensor size. To be clear, there are a LOT of ‘professional’ photographers who use APS-C with amazing results. And I know of a couple who use micro four thirds as well! A new shooter would be very unlikely to print large enough to need that size sensor. Nigel Danson did a great video blind testing the diff between FF and APS-C for prints that is worth a look. Very hard to see the difference unless you pixel peep or print HUGE. I shoot APS-C and am more than satisfied with my resolution and dynamic range, and I print a lot of my work. Print sizes, you do not have to print huge! If you’re new to this, printing will be expensive and you’ll likely be unhappy with your prints in short order as you improve your skills. Landscape photography can look amazing printed small. Please see the fantastic BW work of Adrian Villa who sells all his prints at 8x8 or 6x6. Tripods, you do not NEED a tripod for landscape photography. You can shoot off tripod, I do all the time, again many ‘pro’s’ do as well. I do believe tripods are indispensable tools for landscape photography in general and for as et of very specific creating styles, but don’t conflate extremely useful with necessary. Software. Sigh. Eventually, yes, but man I can’t imagine being a new photographer and trying to work out the fundamentals of light, composition, exposure etc. while also working on raw files and figuring out real post precessing. I think it’s much more important to learn about what and how you like to shoot, then learn about how to extend that with better processing later. My big concern that I have is I see so many relatively new photographers who take rigorous notes on this sort of advice and end up creatively paralyzed by the technical ‘requirements’ they’ve accumulated, not understanding these are at best ‘best practices’ for a specific style of photography and not for ALL landscape photography. If I was blogger I guess this is where I would have made a friendly ‘rebuttal’ video, but I wrote this novel instead. ; ) Please don’t be too offended, I really do value your work and advice, this is meant as a credibly counter debate only.

[@AttilioRuffo]

Hi David... thanks for your comment which of course does not offend me at all. I just disagree with it. I would have followed this tips (not rules) I would have saved a lot of money....that’s me! :-)

[@davidmedeiros7572]

@@AttilioRuffo Thanks Attilio! One of my many other hobbies is traditional wooden boat building, where we have a saying about the costs of learning a new craft… ‘we all pay for our education, one way or another’. That cost for folks learning on their own is most often paid to our mistakes, which we hopefully learn from. I’m on the other end of your POV here I think where following very specific recommendations and views about what landscape photography is or what tools it requires, initially cost me my creative freedom. What matters most is both of us learned from our mistakes and improved in our craft. So don't think of it as money lost, but education earned! ; ) Cheers!

Great advice Attilio, I have just added a prime lens to my lenses. I did not do at the beginning what you suggested. I Bought cheaper tripods at first. I am trying to find a great tripod now. The first Nice tripod I bought had the clamps instead of the screw legs. I can't tell you how many times I pinched my fingers... lol. very aggravating. But.... I am considering the ifootage, but now moving toward FLM tripods, as it seems a good value for the cost. I have a light Benro tripod that is my travel tripod, which is a keeper. Time to sell off all the tripod mistakes I have made... LOL, so I can step it up without having to spend too much money out of pocket. Keep posting. Love your videos!.

[@AttilioRuffo]

[@PMS1950]

The very last thing you should worry about is sensor size. It's a bit like the halcyon days of film, when as professional commercial photographer I started by using 5x7 plate cameras because it looked impressive and soon discovered that my 35mm minolta took shots, which pleased my clients and was so much easier to carry around. Digital full frame is a misleading term as it means nothing other than it's 35mm equivalent. I've taken hundreds of landscapes shots for publication using 8 megapixels and a much smaller sensor and haven't as yet had anybody query sensor size as a signifigant component in achieving decent images. Sensor size to my mind is more in line with ego, image (personal) and digital mythology.

[@Gundolf300]

Considering the leaps smaller sensor cameras have taken in recent years the differences in iq, dr and noise capabilities have become much less noticeable. If you then add factors like size, weight and cost smaller cameras are a lot more attractive today than they where some years ago. Especially from a landscape view point since the gear might get dragged all over the continent. Nigel Danson makes a perfect example of this comparing the prints from an aps-c, a ff and a medium format. Sure, the bigger sensors have their pros but they are a lot smaller these days compared to before.

[@jackcopland8556]

I concur as I now shoot with an APSC sensor (26 MB) and find it fulfills, for me, everything that Atillio discusses. I also find that software today permits adjustments allowing us to print in very large sizes, My switch to APSC was predicated solely on weight as my backpack felt as though it was loaded with bricks.

[@Gundolf300]

@@jackcopland8556 Agreed. Using the same sensor and it packs a punch making many ff-sensors running screaming for mommy 😂

[@RFranks]

Yeah I don't think you really need a FF camera nowadays. Dynamic range shouldn't be an issue if you're on a tripod since you can just ETR or exposure blend if really necessary. Around 24MP is more than enough to print A2 and you can always shoot panos if you want a larger file size.

[@jerzystecher]

Same as you I have D810 with Nikon20/1.8, also Nikon 70-200/4 and 6 more lenses up to Nikon 200-500/5.6 for bird and animals photography coupled with D500.

Hi Attilio: I agree with all of your recommendations, but I would add to the selection of a tripod would be a 'good' ball head and actually I would recommend a 'geared' head for the tripod. I have recently purchased a gear-head and I am finding that my compositions are getting much better because if causes me to slow-down and compose better images through the fine-adjustments that a gear-head can offer. Bye-the-way, did I detect a new potential T-Shirt option? Cheers, Keith (Canada)

[@tonicanabate6232]

While it is true that prime lenses give better quality, it is also true that the difference in quality between a prime and a zoom, nowadays, can be difficult to appreciate for most users and, of course, what will act as a bottleneck to the quality of your photography, in effect, will be the worst piece of your equipment and that, undoubtedly for a beginner, will be you. So, with Atilio's permission, my recommendation is that you don't choose between a prime or a zoom because of the difference in quality but because of other considerations. It is true that a prime will force you to work more on composition and will help you learn, but it is also true that a zoom is "several lenses in one" and will allow you to experiment with the different points of view that different focal lengths provide, which will help stimulate your creativity. It is a question of style. Price and weight are also a consideration. And although I'm also a fan of using a tripod, I think you have to force yourself not to give up hand-held shooting on the right occasions, so if your camera doesn't have in-body stabilisation, make sure the lens is stabilised too. As for buying a full frame camera, 2 years ago my girl gifted me a new equipment and told me not to worry about the price. I compared the Fuji X-T3 (APSC) Sony A7III (FF) and Nikon 850 (FF). I compared prices and weight of the complete equipment I wanted (body plus lenses) and I chose the Fuji for price, but mostly for weight. A telephoto lens is going to be much bulkier on a FF than on an APSC. I must admit that I was also very attracted to the retro aesthetics of the Fuji. To this day I haven't regretted it. It's true that any of the 3 cameras would have been very good cameras, much better than my ability of course. And for resolution, dynamic range and image quality I was very tempted by the 850 but the weight difference was already too much and we mustn't forget that in landscape photography you have to walk with your equipment on your back.

I think as well you have to think what you want to achieve with it. If you dream on achieving the point where you can sell your prints, then you have to invest a good bit of money, but if you just want to do it as a hobby, to post it on ig, then there are cheaper options too. The important thing is not to give up on taking your photos just because you can't afford the besd gear out there. Except for the tripod, you definitely should get a good tripod, otherwise is just money down the drain and clutter in your house.

Take the camera, you already own, get a cheap Manual ultrawide (samyang 12 f2 for different mounts) and youre fine for Astro/landscape). Dont forgot that most of your viewers are probably newbies.
