After we've bought all the important pieces of kit we need for landscape photography — a camera and tripod — there are other not so obvious things we pick up along the way when we realize we almost can't do without in certain situations. This video takes a look at some of the cheap and useful things that one of the world's best landscape photographers packs in his bag.
Landscape photographer and filmmaker, Michael Shainblum, has experienced a wide range of conditions while out photographing landscapes or capturing cityscape time-lapses. In doing so, sometimes he finds that certain pieces of gear either make his life a whole lot easier or become integral to getting the shot he wants. The one that stood out the most to me was the lens skirt. While I don't often find myself shooting through windows, there are a few times where I've regretted not having one — almost always atop a skyscraper with breathtaking views during sunset or twilight.
