Thanks Are, really appreciate your message! I enjoy the less is more concept with landscape photography too, I find it a great challenge for both composition and scouting that perfect spot.

Thanks so much Mark! Surprisingly not too much time removing distractions in these images – more often than not they were in very stark locations which made it easier! There may have been some baby elephant poop removed haha.

Great to hear Naim, when it comes to the best lens it really depends on what you wish to photograph within the landscape. If it’s details and tighter frames then the 28-300mm lens could be a great investment. Otherwise, I used to love my 14-24mm wide angle lens with the Nikon D800, it was ideal for astro and landscapes. I now photograph with Olympus gear and love it, particularly for harsh environments and landscapes. You can read about my gear here.
