Make the Most of Camera Accessories
All professional photographers have a "bag of tricks" or a set of auxiliary equipment that helps them take the best pictures that they possibly can. If you have the correct budget, you can purchase your own set of accessories and use them to improve the quality of your photographs. Simply consult the list below to find out what accessories are right for you.
o Tripod. It's very difficult to keep the camera perfectly still in many situations. You really have to train your hands and muscles to be completely still. If you're taking pictures and they absolutely demand that you be perfectly still (such as portraiture and sports photography) then a good tripod can absolutely be your best friend. A tripod secures the camera via a turn-screw mechanism and can be moved left and right (as well as tilted up and down) by handing the arm of the tripod.
o Studio Lights. There are literally endless lighting combinations that you could use to increase the expressive effect of your photographs and really pull the viewer in to your world. Studio lights are specifically designed for photographers to manipulate the lighting in their workspace and create whatever effect you need. If you're really looking to increase the quality of your photos through light, studio lights are the way to go. They're reasonably affordable and can be obtained for under $200 if you look in the right places online.
o Lenses. All prosumer camers generally have detachable lenses. The quality of your lens has an enormous impact on the quality of your photograph, as the lens is the thing that refines and focuses the light and reflects it on the back of the camera, which translates it into a photograph. The quality of the material and the focal length (measured in millimeters) determines if the lens is good at taking close-ups or wide-angle pictures.
o Filters. A set of filters can help a photographer cancel out the sun (ND Filter), reduce the glare on glass (Polarizer) and many other important functions. If you're looking to take a larger range of great-quality pictures, look into a filter package.
