Ten Essential Pieces of Gear for Landscape Photography

Regardless of what genre of photography someone is looking to get into, most new photographers have a similar question in mind: what are the essential pieces of gear do I need for photography? The answers vary depending on what you plan the genre of photography you plan to enter. If you are looking to venture into landscape photography, this might be the list for you.

Landscape Photographer Mark Denney was recently going through his arsenal of equipment to realize like many of us, we start accumulating more gear that we need. So, he decided to put together a list of the top 10 items you need for landscape photography. 

The list covers a range of items you will need, but at the same time, Denney isn't telling suggesting you get the exact same items and brand he has. He covers some important things in regards to picking which one will work for you and your budget. Denney also explains why these pieces of gear made it into his top 10 items you must have over the several other items that he found are not as crucial.

What are some other pieces of gear that you think new landscape photographers should have that didn't make the list? Be sure to explain why they are important in the comments below.

Lots of other extremely useful things out there, though...

You know, you know, you know...

Write an article so we don't have to listen to this.

I like that pink light in the background :)

Chandler mode on/
Could it BE more useless?
Chandler mode off/

A short list of 4 things (exclude camera lens tripod head filter backpack) would do and it could have saved Fstoppers so many bytes of information...
