Can the Sony A6000 & Kit Lens take good photos? | Kit Lens Landscape Photography Challenge

Today I set myself a challenge of just photographing landscapes with the Sony A6000 and the kit lens. Let's call it the kit lens challenge!
I have my A7iv in my bag but will I resist the temptation and keep shooting with the A6000?
Kit lenses are fantastic when you are first starting out and they give you the middle of the road focal range you need to get good photographs.

Here is a link to an article I have put together today with the A7iv images as well as the ones from the A6000: https://bit.ly/A6000andkitlens

I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!

If you shoot with the A6000 or any of the aps-c cameras, it is a great system for landscape photography. You just need the right lenses to get the most out of the system.

I'd go for these lenses:
10-18mm sony: https://geni.us/Sony10-18mmAPS-C
55-210mm Sony: https://geni.us/Sony55-210mmAPS-C

Or if you have a bit more of a budget:
28-200mm Tamron: https://geni.us/Tamron-28-200mm-FF

(It's expensive but well worth it!)
