My first camera and a favourite for many years was the Canon 5D Mark 3. However, its weight was a significant consideration, particularly for long landscape expeditions and mountain ascents. Consequently, I returned to my first camera brand, Fuji, with my first being a bridge camera. The Fuji film XT5 is an ideal camera for me, offering a 40-megapixel sensor and focus peaking which is particularly beneficial for my eyesight. Combined with its lightweight design, modern technology and ease of use, it is my favourite camera and something I have enjoyed using for many years.

 

I am a proud ambassador of Vanguard Photo UK and have used a Vanguard tripod and camera bag for over a decade. The stabilisation provided by the tripod and the support offered by the camera bag ensure that my equipment is safe from damage, whether dropped or placed on wet surfaces. This is why I remain a proud ambassador of Vanguard.

 

Kase filters are exceptional, providing optical glass that captures sharp images directly from the camera, eliminating the need for extensive post-processing. As the hashtag suggests, Kase filters capture with confidence.

 

Buffalo Systems is a key supplier of outdoor clothing for my photography. Their shirts and jackets are designed for extended outdoor activities, often lasting hours or even days. My favourite time of day is the morning, which is typically cooler even in summer and can be very cold in the UK. Wearing a Buffalo shirt or jacket and mittens provides the comfort and support I need to capture my photography with confidence.
