Today I talk about which lens to buy next, how to go about choosing a new lens and the pitfalls to avoid... and there are a lot! I've been a photographer for over 25 years and I still want to buy every single lens out there, but unfortunately my budget won't allow that, so I've come up with a way of choosing the right lens for me on my photography journey, and I am passing this information on to you to help you in making the right decision the next time you buy a lens for your camera. I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!
