ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY


CAMERA
You simply cannot take pictures without a camera. Strictly speaking, even your phone camera is better than “no camera,” but we’re going to focus on DSLR cameras and mirrorless, preferably full-frame bodies. Micro Four Thirds and APS-C will probably feel quite limiting as you gain experience and get bolder

LENS
It’s not a very extensive list when you work with a fixed lens, but if you’re working with interchangeable ones, you will want to go through your lens checklist every time you head out, no matter what type of photography you practice.

TRIPOD
If you haven’t experienced it yet, let me give you a heads-up. It’s not the coolest thing when you’re out on a job or just practicing, and you need to slow down the shutter speed to get a brighter image only to realize you forgot your tripod. The worst part is that no matter how incredibly still you may think you’re holding your camera, it’s very unlikely you’ll get a perfectly still image on a handheld. Always bring your tripod!Always bring your tripod!

BATTERIES AND CHARGER
You must keep your backup batteries fully charged at all times. Don’t forget to bring your charger so you can recharge your used-up batteries.

MEMORY CARD
Cameras nowadays work with digital formats, so you’re going to need memory cards to save your images. Word of advice: invest in memory cards with the most capacity. Pictures taken with DSLR or mirrorless cameras pack a lot more image data than pictures taken with your phone’s camera and point-and-shoot digital cameras, so they’re pretty hefty and will fill anything under 64Gb in the blink of an eye.

CLEANING SUPPLIES
Microfiber cloth
Perfect for wiping off dust and fingerprints from lenses and LCD screens. You can also use them to clean your filters.Rocket Blower
It is probably the easiest way to remove dust particles from your camera’s sensor, whether it is a DSLR body or a mirrorless camera. A common issue with interchangeable lenses, regardless of build, is that you can accidentally get dust or hair on the sensor when changing lenses, which is why you should change lenses with the body of the camera facing down.
Do not use compressed air because that’s not actually air; it’s more like a thin chemical spray that could potentially damage the camera. That’s the good thing about the Rocket Blower; it sucks air from the environment and blows it directly to wherever you aim it at.

BACKPACK
It’s not any regular ol’ backpack. You’re going to need a backpack specifically made to carry photography gear . It should have slots big enough for a fully assembled camera or secure the body alone when you dismount the lens. It has to keep dust and water out . It should also have pockets for your lenses, batteries, chargers, and other accessories . You should also be able to strap your tripod to the side of the backpack.

PLASTIC TRASH BAG
Even if your backpack is waterproof, you’d be wise to pack it in a plastic bag . Working indoors or checking the weather app can certainly help you prevent your gear from getting wet and damaged, but there’s no such thing as too much protection when it comes to photography gear. That being said, always pack a plastic bag . It doesn’t occupy too much space, and it can keep your backpack and gear dry through an unexpected shower.
