Several Universal Digital Camera Accessories

Many people may not know, there are three kinds of camera accessories I considered is that each digital zoom camera must have. The digital photography is just the method of recording the beautiful memory. So let's take a look at the three accessories I think that every photographer needs.

These aren't listed in any particular order and I don't think in any order of importance either although if you were to push me for an answer I would place a tripod as my number one accessory. It will also depend on what type of photography you are pursuing as to which one will be number one to you. They are, however, accessories that I would list as essential to a photographer's gear bag.

First, a tripod is needed. If you don't have a tripod then get yourself one. Buy the most expensive one you can afford. A good solid tripod is essential to the kit of a photographer. There are many occasions when light conditions aren't good and the extra stability helps you create crisp, sharp images. Just a little camera shake will cause blurring to some degree in the final photo. A tripod is especially useful when shooting close-ups of flowers and small creatures and helps you to have complete control of your images.

Next, a remote shutter release is also necessary for you camera. This is coupled with the tripod and is essential when avoiding camera shake. Even when your best digital camera is mounted on the tripod, the simplest action like pushing the shutter button can still cause camera shake and prevent you from taking the sharpest images. It works very simply either connected by a cable to the camera or using an infrared connection to activate the shutter.

Then a good circular polarizing filter can help you a lot, it can cut down glare and reflections off shiny surfaces. Those of you who have ever owned or used a pair of Polaroid sunglasses will know the effect that it has on shiny and reflective surfaces. This includes foliage as well. When using Polaroid sunglasses while looking at water you are able to see below the surface if the water is clear. If you are landscape photographer you will really benefit from a polarizer. I consider this essential. One tip though is that you should always use one that has the equivalent or higher quality of your lens.

These I mentioned above are three top choices of best digital camera accessories in no particular order. You need to choose which ones will serve your particular needs the best. I use all three equally but maybe if my photography changed slightly I would add another one or two to my list. So you can regard the three tips as a reference before you buying camera accessories.
