OUR EQUIPMENT
Outdoor Photography demands rugged and precise equipment that can be transported into the backcountry and handle the rigors of wilderness travel. As as result, I use Nikon cameras and lenses exclusively. In the last several years I have moved from film to digital due to the great deal of flexibility this medium affords me in the field and in the studio. Digital allows me to move from low light to bright light conditions quickly so I can get the perfect image. In addition, the digital medium frees me from having to carry 50 rolls of film into the field. I am currently using Nikon’s D-200 body and an assortment of Nikon’s vibration reduction (VR) lenses. I haven’t forgotten my roots though, and still use film occasionally for select photographs.
You may notice that many John Lane Photography images are in and around water. In addition to all of my camera gear, I also use kayaks and rafts to get into the wild. I have found the sea kayak, in particular, to be the perfect companion for outdoor photography. Sea kayaks provide silent and rugged transportation on water and a very stable platform from which to take photographs. For extended travel and adventures, my wife and I use a Feathercraft foldable sea kayak. These boats are strong, relatively light, and allow us to travel anywhere in the world with our gear, catch a ride to the water and then self-support our open-water photo excursion. For more information on these remarkable kayaks, check out their website from my links page.
