Shooting nature and landscape

I've been doing nature photography for about three years now and this is my story so far.

It all started with 50mm lens and some extension tubes. Macro and close-ups were something that i just naturally started doing when i started my photography hobby three years ago.

After i got my first "real" camera i thought that i would have to start using fully manual lens to be able to understand photography better. I decided to use 50mm f/1.8 lens the following 1,5 years. I did also use extension tubes with the 50mm lens, but no other lenses during that period. After that 1,5 years i just had enough! I need more lenses!


Three years has passed and i've been shooting with 5 different lenses in my backpack and i've just had enough! Theres too many lenses!
Since i've changed into full frame cameras it's time to do something about all these lenses. I've been thinking about my focal lenght requirements and now have made these following conclusions.

The next year, or two, im going to shoot with these focal lenghts:
  • 17mm for landscapes
  • 105mm for macro/landscapes/portrait
  • 70-200mm for landscape/portrait/closeups
Lakescape
Hopefully with this lens setup i could concentrate my efforts with compositions, without all the hassle with lenses and extension tubes and so on... Still, there's nothing wrong with extension tubes, i could use them all day, or two, but it's time to change.

 Too Many

Thanks for reading! Now grab your camera and go shoot some flowers!
