Among the most well-known quotes by world famous photographer Ansel Adams is:

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are just great photographs."

The same holds true for the digital cameras and digital camera accessories which we decide to use to get those "good photos." That is, there's no prescription for what camera and accessories you choose; there are just the great photographs that result from your choice of equipment and your desire to use that equipment.

The tools starts with a camera which fits your requirements. When your have the camera and the correct lenses to suit your photography style, you may continue to add equipment and camera accessories that may help to make your experience better or easier.

Crucial Camera Accessories Many of the things that are generally listed as additional camera accessories aren't actually even accessories; they're essential. These "supposed" essentials include digital camera camera memory cards and batteries . Not only are these required, but matching your digital camera with the correct batteries and memory cards is critical to having trouble free picture-taking sessions. If you happen to purchase cheap batteries, you might end up with a drained source of energy before you got all of the shots you wanted.

This is also true for memory cards. Matching your digital camera and style of shooting with memory cards that may deal with the load will save you time and frustration. There aren't too many things worse than missing an award-winning shot since your camera's memory card was too busy to respond to the camera's next shot.

Camera Accessories Which Make A Difference 3 other choices that may add to your overall photography experience are camera bags, external camera flash, and tripods. Camera bags seem somewhat unimportant with regards to the "big picture," that is what you want to accomplish with your camera. However, when you're heading out for a crucial shoot, you want to make sure that you have all of the equipment necessary to complete the job, and a good camera bag may go a long way toward making that happen. You can arrange your lenses and accessories and even safeguarding them from sloshing around inside the camera case and causing dings, scratches, and possible severe damage.

Likewise, an external flash, while not essential for every type of photography, is an important part of a good photography kit.

Good, dependable tripods are another of those camera accessories that many photographers tend to either not get or try to save money by purchasing cheap. Yet, when faced with specific situations, tripods may save the day.

Lastly, when the shoot is over, it is significant to be able to finish the job with capable photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop (or a similar). Several minor touch ups with post processing application can make the difference between the "Wow" photographs and the duds.

Configuring your PC by calibrating the monitor for spot on colour, becoming knowledgeable about your photo editing program, and connecting the computer to a capable picture printer will provide you with a sense of total satisfaction as you view your printed work; the result of a totally successful photo shoot.
