Good material plays a big role for me. The focus is not on price, but rather on stability and the most intuitive operation possible. I am often in the middle of nature in extreme temperatures and in absolute darkness and have to be able to completely rely on my equipment. Strong storms and incoming waves should not pose a problem for my equipment.
I currently use a Fuji GFX 50 S II and a NikonZ7 as a backup camera. Each of these cameras has different strengths. With its incredible detail reproduction, fantastic dynamic range and unrivaled plasticity, the GFX 50 S II is the perfect camera for landscape photography. Despite its heavy weight, I actively chose this camera because it allows for incredible shots. The Z7 is a wonderfully light camera that I can easily take with me as a backup or on trips where weight is an issue.
Apart from my cameras, the use of different gray filters plays a big role in my photography. I now use various filters from different companies to darken the sky or enable long exposure times in daylight. This technique allows me to bring more dynamism and movement into my pictures, allowing the viewer to feel the wind and the waves crashing in. For my post-processing, I use Lightroom for archiving and Photoshop CC for the rest of the work. For anyone interested, I have put together a list of my detailed equipment. Of course, I’m always happy to answer any questions -> contact.
