A sturdy and compact tripod, the Sirui W2204 is an essential item for a landscape photographer. This tripod has waterproof leg locks which keep water out of the legs, and is very useful when shooting seascapes or waterfalls. The carbon fibre construction keeps weight down which all adds up when I take my backpack out on the trail.

I use various filters in landscape photography that allow for differing effects in the resultant image. Polarisers help to cut glare from surfaces and improve the colour saturation of greens when shooting in forests. ND filters help to increase my shutter speeds allowing for motion blur effects on water. Light pollution filters cut out the yellow cast from sodium vapour lights.
