As a landscape photographer who uses square filters 98% of the time and often shoots in low-light conditions, a tripod is a staple for me. It’s something I simply couldn’t live without.
Sure, the ISO handling and dynamic range of modern cameras are impressive and improving all the time, to the point where some landscape photographers shoot handheld and expose for the highlights to avoid needing a tripod and filters, but I prefer the slower and more considered approach where I do as much as possible in-camera.
