may start with some landscape photo's.
G'day Tony, good to see you back.

If Landscape is your goal, you need a good tripod, Manfrotto, Gitzo or one of the Tiawanese clone types would be fine. A mate of mine bought a carbon fibre clone with ball head from the US at less than half the cost of the Manfrotto/Gitzo equivalent and it's every bit as good. A ball head is nice and often the widest lens you can find helps, the Cannon 10-22 or Tokina 12-24 are both good lenses, the Tokina being quite a bit cheaper. If you're going to do waterfalls or seascape shots ND filters are handy to allow shooting a few stops slower.
