So you’ve got your (first) new dSLR and wandering what kind of additions to get next to get started. Here are 3 items which helped me most in improving my photography, enjoying my new dSLR and which I recommend you to get first. If you disagree or have some additional must haves, leave a comment.
I bought these things based on recommendations from Scott Bourne’s website and podcast Photofocus site and Alex Lindsay’s podcast This Week In Photography. Both great podcasts ad I suggest ou check them out.
- Good bag. It sounds trivial but a good bag makes all the difference. In my case it means I have no hesitation in bringing my camera. I have a comfortable bag which actually holds all my gear. I’ve chosen a bag (lowe pro compudaypack) which also has plenty of room for stuff to take on a day trip or hike. When you buy your bag remember that you most likely want to fit in more stuff in the future as you get more buy more gear
- Fast prime. (a fast prime is a lens with a fixed focal length and a large maximum aperture like the like the Nikkor 50mm F/1.8) This kind of lens really enable you to take those kind of pictures you simply cannot take with a point and shoot camera
- Lenspen. Cheap, small but I use it a lot, just get one.
Hopes this helps you in deciding what to buy next. Happy shooting.
