Phase One Question /
As a landscape photographer, what goes into preparing for a journey?
Benjamin's answer /
There's constant preparation and planning that goes on behind the scenes of every journey. It starts with having scouted a region that I would like to photograph and what time of the year I think would lend itself to capturing it at its peak. A tentative itinerary is set with flexibility, as Mother Nature sometimes has its own plans. My Phase One gear is checked, rechecked and checked again. I make sure the sensor is clean, the body is clean and the lenses are clean. I also ensure that I have all of the essentials packed, which includes: plenty of spare batteries, filters, shutter release, memory cards, my trusty tripod, laptop and backup hard drives.
