What camera gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for capturing iconic lighthouses?

Hi there!

The available content I have access to does not specifically mention a dedicated “iconic lighthouse” kit from me, but I can give you practical gear guidance based on how I approach similar travel and landscape situations.

For photographing lighthouses, I typically recommend:

• A mirrorless or DSLR body you’re comfortable carrying and operating quickly
• A wide-to-normal zoom (for example, 24–70mm range) for context and variety
• A sturdy but travel‑friendly tripod for sunrise, blue hour, and long exposures
• Circular polarizer and ND filters to control reflections and smooth water/sky
• Weather protection (rain cover and microfiber cloths) for sea spray and mist

If you like to travel light, you can get a lot done with one camera and one versatile zoom lens, similar to how I pack for family trips in my vacation‑packing video.

What camera and lenses are you using right now, and are you mostly shooting from land or from a boat near the lighthouse?
