Gear Recommendations

***No gear or devices are provided ***

  • Camera body (DSLR or mirrorless) — weather-sealed is best.

  • Standard zoom (24–70 mm) for general landscapes and flexible framing.

  • Telephoto zoom (100–400 mm or 200–600 mm) — ideal for photographing elk rut, birds, and other wildlife from a safe distanceSturdy tripod — essential for low-light (golden hour, sunrise/sunset), HDR, panoramas, and long exposures.

  • Remote shutter release / cable release — reduces camera shake for sharp images.
