You want a straight to the point kid?
go get nikon d7000 or canon 7d
if budget is a problem then go for nikon d5200 or canon 650d but I still prefer with 100 percent viewfinder.
Lens tokina 11-16 is a high priority but optional
make do with your 18-55 lens if budget is a problem
STURDY TRIPOD IS A MUST can get $160 plus with ballhead at mass sales. but I prefer Sirui at TK photo.
no sturdy tripod â blurry photos â inconsistent horizon âbad image quality equal to no landscape!
remote shutter release is a high priority but optional
can get $15 at mass sales
no remote shutter release - difficult for bulb mode â bad image quality. But can make do with timer.
Filter is a priority but optional, you can start at Tiyan ya made in china but hitech or Lee itâs preferred weapon of choice⦠like a Tommy gun in your backseat.
Is filter required? Maybe, but go visit the landscape gallery section and ask them. Look for a guy named edutillus or Stephan. Be careful with the mafias⦠the bosses are in peace but the fans are in truceâ¦
