What Camera Gear do I Need to Get Good Images?
There is an old saying - “the best camera is the one that you have with you.” And while it definitely helps to have a long lens when shooting wildlife, todays’ cellphones have pretty amazing zoom power too. So, if you don’t have a professional grade DSLR or mirrorless, don’t stress. You will still come away with images that will wow your friends and family.
That said, if you are a serious photographer, (professional or passionate hobbyist), a 100-400 lens is the minimum length I suggest. If you have a 500mm or 600mm, even better. If you feel comfortable hand-holding your camera, that is fine, but bringing a tripod or monopod is no problem. For landscape shots, anything wider than 200mm will work, and if you own filters (split or neutral density), these can be very helpful at sunrise or sunset.
I am a SONY user myself, but am sufficiently familiar with both Nikon and Canon to offer you help with your settings.
