I shoot most of my landscape photographs on film. My colour film of choice is Fuji Velvia 50 transparency film. I scan my transparencies using a Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro film scanner. For occasional black and white work I use Ilford XP2 and Kodak BW400CN.

My main workhorse is a Bronica SQAi. This is a fully manual medium format SLR camera which produces 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. I enjoy working in the 6x6 format for a number of reasons: the square images are distinctive and have a pleasing balance to my eye; the camera doesn't need to be rotated to take landscape/portrait oriented shots; and I have the freedom to crop to a rectangular format later if I want to. My camera has no built-in meter, so to take light readings I use a Pentax Digital Spotmeter and a Sekonic L-308S incident meter.

I have a set of three lenses for use with the Bronica: a 50mm wideangle, an 80mm standard lens and a 150mm short telephoto. These lenses cover most of the situations I encounter when shooting landscapes.

I also have a digital SLR system, based around the excellent Nikon D200 body. The Nikon is relatively lightweight and compact, which is excellent for travelling and handholding when the Bronica is too cumbersome. The latest DSLRs can produce output of impressive quality, and I expect that digital capture will form an increasingly important part of my work in the future. I currently use the Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle zoom lens, together with Nikkor 18-70mm, 35mm and 50mm lenses as well as a Tamron 90mm macro lens for close-up work.

I always use my camera on a tripod when shooting landscapes. This is essential for the narrow apertures and long shutter speeds I use. I have two tripods: a rock-solid (and hefty) Manfrotto 055PRO, and an excellent lightweight carbon-fibre Velbon Sherpa CF641EL. For heads, I have a Manfrotto 410 geared head and a lightweight Manfrotto 460MG magnesium 3-way head.

Filters are almost essential for landscape photography on transparency film. I use the Lee slot-in filter system, with a range of neutral density graduates and 81-series colour correction filters, as well as a Heliopan polariser. I only use filters to overcome limitations in the photographic process (e.g. difficult contrast or colour balance situations), and never to fundamentally alter the appearance of a scene. I aim to record on film what I percieve in front of me at the moment I trip the shutter.
