Equipments Used in Digital Photography

So you want to take up digital photography? While most of
the specialized equipments used in this field are pricey,
you can take it up on a budget.

Below is a list of the pieces of equipment used in digital
photography along with some recommendations whether or not
amateur photographers really need them.

1. Digital camera

- anyone who wants to take digital photographs needs this
of course. While there are higher end models out there with
dozens of pixels available, you should first find out your
needs before buying one.

Do you plan to take only pictures of your friends during
parties? Maybe a point and shoot model would fit you
better. If your needs are much simpler, you can opt to just
buy a camera phone with a decent resolution.

2. Memory

- this is another consideration when buying digital
cameras. If you’re a professional photographer, you will
need tons of memory so you should buy those with large
capacities.

3. Tripod

- need to keep that image stable? A good camera with an
image stabilizer can do that for you.

If however, you have more specific needs, you may opt to
buy a tripod for your camera. It keeps your camera stable
far better than your hands can, resulting in clearer
images.

4. Lighting

- if you work in a studio and need more controlled
lighting, then you’ll need specialized lighting equipment.
But if you’re just a point and shoot photographer, you can
survive with your camera’s built-in flash.
