5 Essential Photography Gear Items Every Camera Newbie Should Own

Photography is one of the most interesting and exciting things to do. A camera and great accessories can make a huge difference in your photographs. Here are my list of ESSENTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY GEARS

1.Durable Camera Bag

A camera bag is very essential to protect your camera. A good bag is not only your best friend when it comes to protecting your camera but it also serves the purpose of carrying all other photography accessories. If you are travel photographer, then a good camera bag will be even more important as it will allow you to carry all the gears that you need to take with you during your travel and shoot pictures. However, if you are a beginner and looking for a camera bag, then make sure that the bag has enough space to fit your DSLR and an extra lens or two along with some other small things like memory cards and batteries. 

2.Extra battery for the camera

As a camera newbie, you may feel overwhelmed with all the stuff that comes with a DSLR. Here's what you should have in your camera bag:

Extra battery for the camera. This is the most important item to have. You can never have too many batteries on standby.

This is very important since batteries don't last forever. If you have an extra one in case your first one runs out of juice, you can always finish taking photos.

3.Memory card

As a photographer, you can't do without your memory card. It's true that a lot of cameras come with their own memory cards, but if you buy a separate one, it's always good to have an extra one with you.

Type of Memory Card

There are several kinds of memory cards available for use in DSLR cameras. The most common ones are SD and CF cards. You might also hear about xD card or microSD, but those aren't as popular anymore.

Selecting the right memory card for your camera depends on the amount and type of photographs you take.

4.Tripod

A tripod is essential if you're going to be taking pictures at night, or if you're going to be shooting moving objects (like waterfalls), or if you're going to be taking pictures of yourself! If budget isn't an issue, then I recommend getting a good tripod. You will be able to take better images if your camera has a stable platform to mount on. This helps eliminate vibration and unwanted blurriness from your shots.

5.Camera strap

The camera strap is a very important accessory that comes with your camera. It holds the camera around your neck or wrist to prevent it from falling. That's why it is important to have a strap that is comfortable, durable and easy to use

Other useful accessories

There are many accessories that can improve the quality of your photos such as filters, lenses, etc...
