For photography beginners, what accessories are necessary? (part 3)

Except for some lens, the tripod and the PTZ, some filters, the shutter line we used to mention in part 1 and 2, today, we will continue to introduce some used frequently accessories to beginners who are just getting started with photography, hoping to deepen your understanding of the technique and function of using these camera accessories.

External Camera Flash Light

Not only can the dslr camera flash have a larger flash output, but you can also turn the flash and use the reflections to create softer, more appealing light. At the same time, you can also add color filters, softbox and other studio equipment for more professional portrait photos. The Photo Studio Equipment, in fact, is not just for professional studio, amateurs can also try to get touch with it, and you will have an exactly different feeling. Some of you might consider the professional photo studio equipment will be extremely expensive, however, you can also find some affordable ones that can do a nice job.

Photo Studio Equipment:

1. Photo Studio Light

The photography lighting kits include Lamp Holder, Softbox, Light Stands and so on.

2.Photography backdrop background

In the non-shooting days, we should put the camera and the lens in the Cabinets, and other camera accessories such as various filters, flashing lights, and transmitters, etc. should be well organized. But for some items, no matter what the shooting subject is, we should make sure that we have these Camera Accessories items in our camera bag.

1. Extra Camera Battery

If your camera is out of power, it will not be of any use. So the camera bag must have more than one backup battery that has been fully charged.

2. Camera Memory Card

There should be more than one Camera SD Card, to prevent excessive photos and not enough storage capacity.

3. Lens cleaning supplies

Dust weather, rain or accidentally dirt is inevitable, it is recommended to have at least a camera lens cloth. I will recommend the disposable lens paper, which it is difficult to leave any smudge. Be careful not to use the ordinary facial tissue, as it will have a great chance of leaving small paper scraps on the lens.

For photography beginners, what accessories are necessary? (part 2)

Except for some lens, the tripod and the PTZ we used to mention in part 1, today, we will continue to introduce some used frequently Camera Accessories to beginners who are just getting started with photography, hoping to deepen your understanding of the technique and function of using these Camera Accessories.

Various lens

Just like some photo edit APPs, we like to use, the camera lens filter will also make our photos even more outstanding and closer to the effect we want.

1. CPL filter

The CPL filter filters reflections, making the sky bluer and is useful for shooting skies, landscapes, rivers, leaves, and more. But be careful not to buy poor quality filters, or uneven prone or uneven color situation will happen!

2. GND filter

Gradient gray filter is most commonly used to balance the ground light and skylight so that the sky and the ground level can be displayed at the same time, is the key to shoot beautiful landscape photos, sunrise and sunset photos.

Shutter line / remote control

Shutter line is not necessary, but because the price is cheap, earlier use of the shutter line can make your learning faster. The shutter line allows you to avoid moving the camera when shooting at slow shutter speeds, and to make the B-shutter more convenient without pressing the shutter button for a long time. For the timer shutter line, it is mainly used for long-distance control, exposure, continuous shooting. It can control the camera to take pictures and prevent contact with the camera surface causing vibration, to prevent damage to the integrity of the picture.

Adjustable ND

Adjustable ND can be used to block the light to the extent of the lens as you wish. It is of great use when shooting water during the daytime. Of course, this may be for the slightly higher level.

Camera Bags 

You can also carry a Camera Backpack which is compact, lightweight, durable and easy to carry protecting your camera against damages, dust, and scratches. The soft internal layer will protect the LCD screen from scratches and bumps, so it’s great for outdoor sports.

Camera Straps

Camera straps like camera neck straps, Camera Shoulder Strap, or Camera Wrist Strap are of great necessity since you can hold your camera so much safer with a camera strap.

For photography beginners, what accessories are necessary? (part 1)

For the definition of photographic equipment accessories, in fact, can be summed up as cameras, lenses, related photography accessories and a variety of related photography activities items collectively. If it is the old camera, then it will include film and so on. So from a professional point of view, photographic Camera Accessories include what? What Camera Accessories should beginners be equipped with?

As a wide range of photographic equipment, in addition to the common SLR cameras, of which there are many photographic equipment accessories, including all kinds of Zoom Camera Lens, fixed focus lens, Camera Flash, color filter for various purposes, camera bag, camera tripod, studio flash, softbox, various lamp stands, reflector, lens cap, camera monopod, camera cleaning equipment, shutter line and so on. Today, I mainly introduce some used frequently accessories to beginners who are just getting started with photography, hoping to deepen their understanding of the technique and function of using these camera accessories.

Camera Lens that beginners can master

1. Large aperture fixed focus lens

Large aperture lenses, such as f / 1.4, f / 2.8, etc. allow the photographer easily take depth effects or shoot in low-light conditions, while large-aperture fixed-focus lenses are not very expensive (it’s so much cheaper compared with large aperture zoom Lens), very suitable for beginners to learn.

2. Ultra-wide-angle lens

The camera wide angle lens such as 12mm, 14mm and so on, as it can create wide visual and distorted effect, so it can shoot landscape photos with strong impact. So wide-angle lens is suitable for beginners to practice shooting scenery photos. You should also prepare a nice Camera Lens Cover to protect your lens.

Camera Tripod Monopod

Many beginners may find the Camera Supports cumbersome, so they consider that they will only need the Camera Tripods when they are more advanced. In fact, there are many scenes such as night scene, water flow, Light Painting, Star tracks, sunrise, sunset, etc. Need to be shot with a slow shutter. No tripod, these effects can not be created. Therefore, a solid tripod in the early stage of learning is very important. The main function of the camera tripod is to stabilize the camera to achieve some photographic effects. Today's tripod has lighter material but is also more solid.

PTZ

PTZ and the tripod are very related. A PTZ that can lock the camera is also very useful. A good quality PTZ is well worth the investment because it can be used for a long time and has a great influence on the quality of photos.
