  • In this video I hike up to a dangerous ridge in the highlands of Iceland for landscape photography. To make the hiking more enjoyable, I take my Fuji X-T3 camera which is great for hiking and landscape photography. Iceland is a beautiful country with so many unknown photography locations and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

    That last shot was absolutely unbelievable. Such a gorgeous photo. One of the things I appreciate about your channel is the number of different cameras you use: The Full-Frame Canon, the Crop Fuji, the latest "new" film camera. As someone who only owns one camera (Fuji X-T20), it's encouraging to continuously be reminded that while gear does in fact matter, the key is who is behind the camera (and of course, nature being cooperative). I can work with what I have without being discouraged, knowing that my gear is more than capable enough and I just need more practice and experience.
