I’m sure The vast majority of landscape photographers would agree that their most important photographic accessory is their tripod and head. A good tripod reduces the risk of camera shake, allows you to shoot with shutter speeds much slower than are possible even with the excellent image stabilisation systems in modern cameras and importantly, they also slow you down, making for more precise, considered compositions.

In November I took my trusty kit down to the rugged Croatian coast to capture some of the most boisterous seascapes that Europe has to offer.

One of my images was highly commended in last year’s competition, and this year I went one better, with my shot of the thrift at Bedruthan Steps in Cornwall achieving a Finalist place in the Wildflower Landscapes category.
