What to upgrade?

[theSpirea]

Hey guys,

I managed to save up some money and Im thinking about upgrading my gear. I have Canon EOS Rebel T5 with kit lenses:

EF-S 18-55mm IS II and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

What I'm interested in, when it comes to taking photos of, landscape, street and occasionally portraits. Mainly to be able take photo like this:
ZAPOMENUTÉ PŘÍBĚHY ČESKÝCH HOR - 6.DÍL - OPEVNĚNÍ ORLICKÝCH HOR


My budget is 800 - 1200 (less is better )

Thank you for all the tips.

We are not allowed to post photos for which we do not have the publishing rights. You can post a link to it if it is posted on some other website.

This shot is a lot of territory all in reasonable focus. Looks like a wide-angle lens. For that much depth of field, the aperture was probably stopped down to a small aperture (f/11 or smaller). The moving bicycles mean a fairly fast shutter (1/250 second). Small aperture and fast shutter means high ISO.

My guess.

You can do that with what you have. Use the kit lens at 18 with a tripod and settings similar to what @Designer mentioned.

Thanks for the heads up, seems I can't edit the post now so I'm adding the whole article the photo is taken from.

Yes, actually we can edit our own posts.

Deleting a photo is a bit tricky because you kind of have to hit the "delete" in two different places. It takes a bit of practice.

Ah, got it, I was looking in Thread Tools and if it wasn't there I thought the options is simply not available, then I found it in the left bottom corner
Thanks for info.

Do you have any tips as what to spend money on? New lens, body?

This looks good:

Or this if you want a bit more range though it's not quite as sharp or as fast:

Or this if you fancy and ultrawide:

A nice sharp lens will see a more imediate improvement than a new body. Buy glass first
