What are the basic equipment necessary for beginners of photography?

Talk about the real experience of personal photography:

1. First of all, you should have your own photographic equipment, mobile phone and digital camera, as long as you can take pictures. You don't have to have a camera to take pictures, but you can still take pictures with your mobile phone. Look at your own budget for buying a camera. My personal suggestion is to try to do it in one step. Don't listen to what others say: buy an entry-level machine first, and learn it first (you will regret not playing it in one step after a certain time). I have been there before!

2. Secondly, learning photography, equipment is not crucial, what matters is the head behind the camera! Arm your mind, learn more about other people's photography skills, and then integrate into your own reality, learn more, look at other people's good photos, look at other people's composition, look at the color distribution of photos, what is the subject, what is the meaning to be expressed, and so on. Then use what you have learned and seen in practice and constantly explore how to shoot the same scene to satisfy yourself!

Finally, with a camera, we must cherish every shutter! Before taking pictures, think about how to take pictures, what to take as the main body, what theme to take pictures, and so on.

Welcome the old wizards to comment and communicate below. . .

1. Fixed focus manual lens

Modern lens is a miracle of exquisite technology. High-speed micro-focus motor, advanced lens coating and precision engineering produce truly amazing glass. But all these technologies also mean that they will fail. Many newer lenses don't even have an aperture ring, so if you lose communication between the camera and the lens, you will get stuck. So my spare lenses are all manual, with their own aperture rings. If the shutter of the camera is still working, I know that if there is something wrong with my zoom, I can always use my spare manual lens. Maybe the old school should take itself as the center and set the aperture manually, but those of us who grew up in the movie era have always done so. It takes a little practice.

2. Rain cover

I have two kinds: one is suitable for cameras, the other is suitable for cameras and external flash. Use raincoats where there is dust, dirt, water or mud.

Sealing cleaning cloth

It is a big mistake to carry an unprotected cleaning cloth in the camera bag. They are used to attract dust and dirt. Coincidentally, they usually appear in the last place where your cleaning cloth is collected. If you have to wipe off the dirt with a cleaning cloth, you shouldn't use it on camera equipment. You should get a microfiber cleaning cloth sealed in a separate package.

4. Standby data card

The most likely fault point on the camera has nothing to do with the camera itself, but your data card.

5. Spare battery

The second most likely single point of failure on the camera is the battery. Your camera may accidentally open the packaging bag, it is easy to forget to check it, and sometimes it will die. I can't leave without a spare battery.

6. Variable ND filter and circular polarizer

Unless you want to shoot with f/22 all day, you need to carry a variable ND filter and a circular polarizer for your lens.

I have been shooting outdoors with CP during the day. It tends to darken the sky and soften the highlights in the reflection. Besides, I prefer color, I'm just saturation.

In the early days, Quan Huafu must have touched the fuselage, with the best reputation. Big three yuan is necessary. There must be original flash+reflector. It is necessary to add polarizers to various gradients. Not without a tripod. All kinds of cleaning clothes+camera bag+lens bag+moistureproof box+photography books+high-capacity high-speed card or mobile hard disk must be equipped with WIFI function+notebook or desktop with genuine PS software. Sunhat+photography vest is standard.

Here are three basic equipment, which are very helpful to our photography, and I hope they can also help you.

Hello. Let me tell you something! Photography can be learned from scratch, from shallow to deep! If there is no entry-level camera equipment, you can take pictures with any equipment! Half a camera can't shoot the whole picture, and a telephoto portrait can't shoot a blurred background without a constant aperture lens! The word "entry camera" is a misunderstanding, and it is the local tyrant name given by the dealer. What do you want to shoot before buying a camera? Then configure the camera according to your own needs!

A SLR, a tripod and a cable releaser. It is enough to study for a long time.
