Important Accessories for Your DSLR Camera

Important Accessories for Your DSLR Camera - As increasing the experience in photography and to support your mobility, you must be thinking that you have to add some gears for your digital SLR system. There are too many choice of gears in market, but you have to choose important accessories first before you choose any other gears.

Following I inform you 7 important accessories you should have before you plan to buy another accessories:

Carrying Bag
There are several kind of bags for your satisfaction: backpack, sling-slide, waist-bag, or suitcase. If you want to carry your DSLR system and accessories completely, you should use suitcase for safety and comfort. If you want to enjoy your adventure, you should use backpack. If you plan to take city hunting or street photography for special moment such as carnival, you should use waist-bag or sling-slide. Professional photographer advise to use sling-slide bag for ease and comfort when we need to change lens or filter. The waist-bag usually too small to collect your DSLR system accessories.

Cleaning Kit
You need microfiber mop and special cleansing dilution to keep cleaning camera exterior and lenses. It's usually use blower to clean lenses, and I do not advise you to clean inside of camera. Bring your camera to the expert to clean camera interior periodically or if you need it, especially cleaning the sensor, however, the recent DSLR has been equipped with self-cleaning facility to clean the sensor.

Tripod
 

Tripod, monopod, or gorillapod is needed to get sharp photograph in long exposure photography. Tripod is the most popular for its reliable. You should buy strong enough tripod to support your camera and lens with telescopic feet, easy for camera installation, and has a flexible head (choose ball head tripod).

External Flash
External flash will increase your photograph quality significantly rather than with built-in flash of your camera. It is powerful, flexible, easy to control the lighting you want ti direct to.
 

External flash can make smooth lighting, average, and brighter than built-in flash.

Filter
Filters are essential accessories in DSLR system. There are three filters you should to consider to buy:
UV Filter (Neutral Filter) or Protection Filter - to protect your lens from dust, water splash, or your finger print.

• Polarization Filter (CPL) - to make darker sky, remove water or mirror reflection, or make trees more green.

• ND (Neutral Density) Filter and Grad-ND - to reduce light ti the camera. If you want to make water-fall photograph as smooth as white cotton (long aperture) in daylight, you need ND filter to reduce the light. Grad-ND used to gradual light reducing. It's good for landscape photography, because contrast of land and sky is too high.

Shutter Release
Another accessories to increase sharpness of photograph, after tripod, is shutter release. We do not need to press camera shutter release that can disturb camera position when we use long aperture program. Shutter release is analog with television remote control. You can choose wired or wireless shutter release.

Vertical Grip (VG)
If you more intensive in photography, especially you frequent take portrait orientation photograph, you need vertical grip (VG) for your comfort and giving you enough battery reverse.
