Yesterday I shared 15 of the most popular landscape photography articles of 2016, here on dPS.
Continuing on with the best of the last year, this one is all about the gear. Many photographers and teachers will advise you on learning the craft of photography before going nuts buying everything you can get your hands on (and possibly not afford even). But sometimes you just need new gear. So here are some related articles that might help you out in that are:
