6 must have accessories for your Dslr!



So you are ready to buy your first dslr, but you don't really know what you have to buy for more creative photos and also for your dslr camera protection.Don't be afraid, some of them it is not necessary to be bought immediately ,so you can keep the cost low.I am not a professional photographer but i will try to suggest you the 6 must have accessories by my experience .
So let's see them!



1.Memory card


Depending of the make and the model of your dslr, the memory card may be different.First thing to check on your memory card is the capacity,bigger capacity mean more photos and also more money to spend for buying it.If your dslr is more than 14 mega pixels you should buy a 16gb and ever bigger memory.
Another thing to check on the memory you are going to buy is the writing and reading speed, in the global market you will find some cheap memory cards that are very slow.Most dslrs need high speed memory cards for recording Full HD video.

2.Protection filter for the lens

For the protection of the lens you have to buy a UV or a protection filter . The filter will protect the lens from a drop ,the dust and scratches. The filter can be fitted in the front side of the lens ,you don't have to remove it for storing the lens, the lens cap can be fitted on the filter.
Best protection filters in the market are from HOYA and B+W , you can find different qualities depending on your budget.
In the image below you can see a broken filter damaged by a drop, the lens have been protected.

3. Case and Bags

If you are going to take photography seriously and start shooting everything on your way,you will find travelling across your country or just a road trip near your city more interesting from ever. So the next accessory you will need for sure is a carrying bag or a case for your dslr. I suggest you ,don't use your old school backpack for your dslr. You should buy a camera case or bag, they are made from better materials ,also some of them are waterproof and hard to protect your dslr from a drop. Also most of them have enough space for an extra lens or a battery ,maybe a case for a tripod.



4.Screen protection film

One of the worst things on a dslr is the scratched screen , so for the protection of your screen you should buy a protection film ,it is so cheap that you cant avoid it!
Better replace a protection film when it is full of scratches than a high cost screen.



5.Tripod

A tripod is the best company for a photographer. You will neccessary need it if you are going to shoot at night(long-exposure), for HDR shoots , Time-lapse, interior shoot with low lights, and self portraits.
Try to find a tripod  that you can carry with you , also check the weight that the tripod  can afford . Maybe you can buy a mini tripod but you will have to search for a place to place it.






6.Extra battery

More of the dslr uses a battery pack,that can shoot about 500- 600 shoots. If you are going to record videos you will need more energy. When i first bought my dslr , i have lost enough shoots because of the battery.An extra battery will give you extra shoots right on the time!
If you can't afford an original battery , you can buy a 3rd party ,there enough batteries in the market you can trust.

Take care of your battery by charge and discharge it one time every month if you are not using it,to keep it healthy
