Nikon Z 6

β€œThe Nikon Z 6 is the best camera for night photography. The more I have used it, the more I like it. The Z 6 separates itself from other great night photography cameras by getting 1 to 2 stops better with cleaner ISOs. That is game-changing camera night photography. It means I can pretty much shoot in any dark sky condition, even with an f/4 lens, and come away with excellent image quality.”

Phottix Aion Universal Wireless Timer and Shutter Release

β€œMost night photographers struggle with the most basic requirement to make long exposures: an intervalometer. I believe I’ve found the solution: the Phottix Aion. After much testing and firsthand experience with many, many manufacturers’ intervalometersβ€”both in my own photography and by playing with what people bring to workshopsβ€”I affirm that the Phottix Aion is the best intervalometer you can buy. ”

Coast FL75R Rechargeable Pure Beam Focusing Headlamp

BenQ SW240 24.1" 16:10 PhotoVue IPS Monitor

β€œ99 percent Adobe RGB color gamut. It takes a profile really well. I know I’m seeing as much as possible in the file. Plus, I really dig two other features: the ability to swivel to vertical any time, and the two USB ports and SD card reader built into the side.”
