In Inside, Out There, Sony Artisan Chris Burkard explores the core ideas that help photographers make stronger images. In Episode 2, he focuses on a crucial part of any outdoor photo mission: getting dialed before you go.
From a warm puffy and rain shell to a well-organized backpack, Burkard shows how a prepared kit can keep you comfortable, protected and ready when the weather changes. His field setup centers on the Sony Alpha 7R V, his high-resolution workhorse for landscapes, along with a versatile selection of lenses for everything from wide, immersive scenes to distant action.
He also makes room for the small essentials – water, snacks, extra batteries, memory cards and electronics – that help keep a shoot moving. The takeaway is simple: prepare for the conditions, pack with intention and leave space to follow the unexpected.
Watch Episode 2 below, as Burkard explores all the gear you need to ensure you have an awesome shoot.
