So, now you’re ready to get out and start shooting landscapes, here are some handy accessories to consider when heading out for a day’s landscape photography…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Garmin<\/a>Garmin Handheld GPS<\/h2>\n

Use technology to get you to your location and back again quickly and easily. These Garmin devices not only offer full OS mapping, but also sunrise and sunset times.<\/p>\n\n

\"ND<\/a>ND Grad Filters<\/h2>\n

An ND grad filter (graduated Neutral Density filter) can completely transform your landscape shots.<\/p>\n

It gives you a more even tonal range to preserve both foreground and sky detail.<\/p>\n\n

\"Lowepro<\/a>Lowepro Pro Runner<\/h2>\n

A full camera kit can get heavy, so the easiest way to transport it is on your back.<\/p>\n

A camera backpack allows you to distribute the weight effectively across your shoulders.<\/p>\n\n

\"Hama<\/a>Hama Remote Release<\/h2>\n

For slow exposures you’ll need to keep your camera completely still, and even pressing the shutter could reduce sharpness. A remote release allows you to keep your hands clear of the camera.<\/p>\n\n

\"Hunter<\/a>Hunter Wellies<\/h2>\n

Though walking boots are usually the preferred choice for mountainous shots.<\/p>\n

However, a good pair of Wellington boots, such as these Hunter wellies, will keep your feet warm and dry all day long, wherever you end up shooting and whatever the weather.<\/p>\n\n

\"MANFROTTO-190MF3\"<\/a>Manfrotto 190Pro Tripod<\/h2>\n

A sturdy tripod is as essential as the camera itself for good landscape photography.<\/p>\n

This is a great entry-level model that’s light and sturdy enough for general use.<\/p>\n\n

Microfibre Towel<\/h2>\n

Rainfall or coastal locations can cause water to collect on your camera. A microfibre towel quickly absorbs the water and is even soft enough for use on lenses.<\/p>\n\n

Other Essential Kit<\/h2>\n

Maps<\/h3>\n

Always carry a map of the local area (and compass) with you, even if just as a back up, should you get lost.<\/p>\n

Spirit Level<\/h3>\n

Wonky horizons can ruin even the best of pictures, so a spirit level (that can be hotshoe-mounted, or built into the camera or tripod) can easily save the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
