Whats in my bag?

Hello everyone! My name is Dax Tekchandani and I'm a photographer based in Hertfordshire, England. I specialise in landscape and architectural photography.

Equipment

Camera

Canon EOS 1300D

The Canon EOS 1300D is the sole camera used throughout this project. It provides full manual control over aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, allowing for both technical precision and creative flexibility. All images presented in this portfolio were captured using this camera body.

Lenses

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

A standard zoom lens suitable for landscapes and general photography, enabling both wider compositions and moderate zoom. This is my primary lens for most shots in this portfolio.

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6

A telephoto lens used for capturing distant subjects, such as landscapes and architectural details, allowing for zoomed perspectives and detailed images.

Lens Filter(s)

58mm Black Mist Filter (1/4) - Nano Klear

Used to soften highlights by introducing a subtle diffusion effect to create more atmospheric visuals.

Accessories

Canon EW-60C Lens Hood

The Canon EW-60C lens hood is used to minimise/reduce glare caused by direct light sources. Also provides an additional physical protection to the front element of the lens during outdoor shoots, and when carrying the camera.

128GB Samsung SD Card

Provides high-capacity storage for extended shooting sessions without frequent card changes.

Top-Max Spare Batteries (x2)

Two fully charged spare batteries are carried during shoots to ensure continuity and prevent interruptions due to power loss.

Editing Equipment

MacBook

Used for image selection, post-processing, and exporting final photographs for presentation.
