LANDSCAPE LENSES

WHEN HE’S OUT OF THE WATER, GEORGE HAS A WIDER CHOICE OF LENSES FOR HIS LANDSCAPES…

The fisheye is your preferred lens when shooting underneath the waves, but what do you use topside for your landscapes?

I was for many years living without a 24-70mm. I didn’t have a 24-70mm until about four years ago! So, I was living as a pro photographer with no 24-70mm. I had 16-35mm, I had 14-24mm and I had a 70-200mm. When I needed something in between I went for a 50mm. I was living like that for so many years, but for landscapes these days my go-to lens is the 24-70mm. I think the framing and composition is what makes pictures special. There’s lots of people who shoot landscapes at 14mm, ‘let’s go 14-24mm’, but if you don’t have a big sky or a foreground you’re never going to get an amazing shot on 14-24mm. You need a special foreground and an epic sky.
