Travel photography often requires a bunch of equipment; those professionals we regularly see on nature TV channels lug around huge, state-of-the art gear. But you don’t have to figuratively bring the kitchen sink with you. We’ve listed down the most essential ones for the beginning travel photographer.

A DSLR camera with lenses
Whatever brand you prefer for a DLSR, you’d still need to ensure that you capture those memorable scenes and moments with a good camera. We suggest both a 50mm lens for good depth of field, alongside the stock one. Of course, you’d need to make sure that the you have the kit-provided battery, memory cards, and spare, depending on how long you’d be in the field. Eventually you’d need to invest in a more powerful zoom lens, but that can wait.
Tripod
There was a time when these accessories were heavy and a total pain to carry around, but not anymore. Tripods are key to taking sharp, stable pictures and getting the right exposure. These are crucial when taking close ups, pictures of sunsets, and night shots.
DSLR Remote
It’s hard to get those pictures of yourself with majestic backdrops when traveling on your own. It’s not fun (and it looks silly) to simply rely on the camera’s timer function and have you run back and forth to the waiting camera until you find that desired pose. A camera remote adds so much convenience (and poise) to these photo ops.
