What to Pack
A landscape kit built around wide views, steady support, and changing light is a useful starting point. Compare the gear and choose what fits your camera, budget, and conditions. These links lead to B&H Photo Video and Amazon.
| What & Why | B&H | Amazon |
|---|---|---|
Wide-angle zoom (14-35mm range) The single most important lens for sweeping vistas. Pair with a circular polarizer for skies and water. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
Sturdy travel tripod Carbon fiber, packs to 15 inches, holds steady in wind off the coast. Essential for blue-hour and long-exposure work. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
Circular polarizer (77mm or 82mm) Cuts haze, deepens sky, reveals texture in water. Non-negotiable for landscape work. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
10-stop ND filter For 30-second exposures that turn moving water and clouds into silk. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
Extra batteries (3 minimum) Cold weather and long exposures eat batteries. Carry triple what you think you need. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
Fast SD/CFexpress cards V90 or CFexpress depending on your body. Two cards minimum so a failure mid-trip is recoverable. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
Microfiber lens cloths Salt spray, mist, and dust will ruin every shot if you don't carry a cloth. | Shop B&H → | Shop Amazon → |
