I’ve been fascinated by photography since my early childhood, and finally got my first film camera at the age of 16 (a Nikon, already!). It wasn’t until 2014 that I started seriously pursuing landscape photography. I bought my first neutral-density and graduated ND filters, a sturdy tripod and a quality wide-angle lens. During this period I devoured hundreds of pages and watched hours of video on landscape photography. I’ve been reading N-Photo since issue one, and it has both taught and inspired me a lot; I can’t thank you enough for that!
In 2018, I decided to replace my D810 with the then-brand-new Z 7, and I don’t regret it. The mirrorless camera is perfectly suited to landscape photography, and being able to go down to ISO64 is a must! But the icing on the cake is the quality of Nikon’s Z lenses: they’re incredible. My latest acquisition is the sublime Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S, which replaced my already-excellent Z 14-30mm f/4 S. The former is now permanently mounted to my camera.
