Cynical Sailor Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi folks. I've found that over many years there's a few accessories that I always keep with me when out and about taking photos. Here are mine - I'd be interested to hear of yours. * UV filters - on all lenses, all the time. Not only does it do its job but also protects the front element of your lens. * Lens hoods - on all lenses, all the time. Stray light can ruin a great shot. * A wired shutter release cable for long exposures. * A spare memory card. * A good, sturdy tripod (if practicable).

guzzi850m2 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I am not geared up as well as you by far when going out but okay I am not taking my photographing very seriously to be honest, no bag with lenses but only the camera w/lens. I tried many years ago to drag a camera bag around with 2 lenses + the camera with 1 lens fitted but quickly realized it's not for me man, I like to keep it simple and if I don't get the shot I was hopping for, never mind, since I don't earn any money on my photographing. Yes agree on UV filter on the lenses. I don't have any spare memory cards but batteries. I have a tripod laying around somewhere in my office, haven't used it for a long time but think I will dust it off and try using it a bit more. If I do above, I better get a wire shutter release cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 * Spare camera RX100, Whenever possible I actually use both camera's for the shoot. * 1 wide lense, 1 long lense(50mm, el cheapo), it's enough... (For now...).. ^^ * 2 Spare battery's, memory cards on both. Looking for external charger * Baby tripod for ultra low shot; Big boy tripod which remains stable in streaming water and windy conditions * Car(essential) * Polarising filters. ND filter(Still need 6stop or 10stop). Saving money for UV now.. * Wireless remote for A6000. Need a wired remote for the RX since I don't have/want a smartphone. Hard to find around here. * Lense cleaning kit. Sensor cleaner and the lensepen are great. * Leave wife/baby at home when going on the shoot(essential) * Knowledge/experience to use full manual mode * Flashlight for focussing in the night. All the lightpainting I have done turned out horrible, external flash works! Still need laserpointer for focussing so I dont need to plant the flashlight and walk all the way back. ^^ [edit]* Special clothing and shoes to protect against imminent mosquito attacks in the night Happy shooting!
