Tripods. A pole with 3 legs, right? Nothing more than that. If it holds your camera, then that’s good enough….. WRONG. In my opinion, having a good tripod is imperative. I’m not exaggerating when I say that buying a high quality and sturdy tripod has completely changed my photography and ultimately the quality of my images. Before I delve into that, let me explain why I think, apart from your camera and lenses, why your tripod should be the next most import piece of equipment that you own.

This is going to be a longer blog than usual, as this blog is going to be about my favourite photographers. These photographers all have their own little traits and trends as to why I really like them and their work. Most importantly, I’m going to talk about why they inspire me.

I am delighted to announce that I was one of 18 Instagram accounts who was selected as Forestry England’s “18 Instagram accounts to follow if you love nature”.

I am obviously honoured to be selected alongside photographers like Simon Baxter, who I personally look up to. Living near a number of Forestry England woodlands, I spend a lot of time walking through the forest and taking photography of all of the trees that they have to offer.

A lot of people may see wild camping (or backpack camping) as something that they wouldn’t be able to do, that it’s scary or a little bit daunting. People generally have the same questions like; What do I pack? What if the weather turns bad? Where can I camp?

Hopefully, this blog will answer some of those questions for you.

Here is a quick guide on some of the locations I’ve visited in Iceland, what I packing for the trip and some handy tips if you’re thinking about making the trip yourself.
