What to give the photographer. Beginning photographers often becomes a
hostage of his desire to acquire more and more accessories for your camera. Of
course, the improvement of technology contributes to obtaining higher quality
pictures and brings incomparable pleasure, but still photographer accessories
should not be an end in itself. It is important to understand what to buy and
what accessories photographer most needed? In addition, this article will be
useful for those who choose an original gift for a photograph or amateur
photographer.
First of all try to move away from the stereotypes: a large
lens does not mean good and professional; Tripod - tool rather than a stylish
accessory professional (it may replace some stress or surface); safety filter
protects the lens from drops but not stones! And most importantly, a man with a
SLR is increasingly not a professional, and therefore the potential to improve
pictures in his head rather than in a nearby store shelf! I will list a few
accessories in descending order of priority, which will be needed for most
novice photographers and help them develop.
Backpack or bag for the camera (Wardrobe trunk)
Often, a bag or backpack purchased photographer once when
buying the camera, because it is not only a means of transportation, and
storage. I urge to purchase only products specifically for specialized
photographic equipment, as their thickened wall foam, dense and durable
material, have convenient compartments for flash drives, batteries ... almost
all features a special cover-entrain that is easy to wrap the bag in bad
weather, and inside you can free simulate space inserts Velcro.
Straps, zippers and fasteners of impeccable quality -
convenient in operation. Today, the market represented a variety of bags, which
is not surprising when choosing to break all gyrus. First of all, you need to
look at the convenience of the tasks of the photographer and spaciousness. To
fit a backpack traveler, and for the urban enthusiast for every day - bag
backpack with one strap (lies along the body both front and rear, is thrown
over the head to the adjacent shoulder).
To extensive studio photographers need a classic rectangular
bag with good capacity for a variety of lenses and other accessories (if there
is no need to travel long hours with her). For the amateur, is not going with
you to wear something else, other than the camera, at the time a case is a
triangular shape of the camera. Also look at the capacity of the form: if you
are going to develop in the field of photography - is to provide a place, at
least for external flash and one or two lenses. If it is important to quickly
take advantage of the camera - note the safety and convenience of extracting
the road.
Typically, such bags are opened from the inner side and need
not be removed, and the camera is in a separate compartment with its cover with
a zipper. Be sure that if lightning will undo (or photographer in the heat
filming forgot it shut), camera will not fall out. I was among the honored
producers have said Lowe pro: good price-quality ratio. The cost of a good
branded bags on average, depending on the size and design will be 1000-3500
rubles.
External flash with swivel head
An indispensable accessory photographer. Perhaps, in the
life of the photographer will never be such a leap in the quality of photos as
the acquisition and use of an external flash with a swivel head. When a picture
taken in a room, the use of on-camera flash will not allow to make a beautiful
portrait, from an artistic point of view, it is generally considered bad form.
You can certainly use the luminosity of the lens and turn
off the flash, but long exposure and high iso value, coupled with the lack of
experience would negate the efforts of the photographer. The cost of the
external flash from the camera manufacturer ranges from 9,000 to 25,000 rubles,
but if the budget would be unsupportable for the photographer or the donor's
gift, then you can look to peers from the party: China is now the flash of good
quality with all necessary functions can be purchased for 5000 rubles!
Fast lens
The second discovery novice photographer - a feature that
enables fast lens and, first of all, it concerns the lenses with a fixed focal
length (fixes). Only in my practice have been dozens of cases in which their
use has returned interest and excitement alive beginner photographer, opens new
horizons after the first failures with dark umami.
Daub turned into a picture of a certain artistic content,
which so waited for the amateur photographer from SLRs. Aperture (now we are
talking about the diaphragm 1,2-2,8) - is not only possible to set shutter
speeds, but shallow depth of field (background blur), sharpness and color! Of
course, to experience the charm of all the new acquisitions, the photographer
should learn the basics of photography (a reference to school figures. Photo)
and stop to shoot in automatic mode! A good first acquisition will fix Canon EF
50 f1, 8 (its counterpart exists in the system Nikon).
For details of the range of the lens, I described in the
article about the camera and lens selection (link to the article about the
choice). Even a novice photographer cannot believe that the lens of the 3500
rubles. Capable of much, it's worth it - disappointed I have not seen!
What is the Hood?
Do not underestimate this simple piece of plastic that fits
over the lens. Its main task - to neutralize the lateral flare: the rays of
light entering the lens on the outside, very substantially reduce the contrast
of the image, and sometimes cause glare - say, caught the "rabbit".
The cost of proprietary blends can be 700-3000 rubles.
On quite conventional lenses, but you can look to peers for
300-600 rubles. Please note there is no universal blend - each made a certain
model of the lens. If this is the planned gift photos, specify the model of the
lens and the presence of a photographer - to expensive models the lens hood
attached.
Buy strap for the camera
A belt that comes, except that you can praise for the
strength and some will appreciate the flashy labels with the name of the
camera, but in terms of the use of photography in the work, he has a lot of
disadvantages.
First of all - it is hard and after an hour or two Neck
reserves under a nasty scrapes on his neck. Second, unfortunately, the
manufacturer has not provided the pockets, so the photos you want to carry
spare flash drives, batteries. At the same time, you can buy high-quality
third-party belt made of soft synthetic material, with pockets and a set of
custom settings, and the pleasure of its use is invaluable!
The lap belt photographer with mounted pockets for small
items
Do not you always want to carry a backpack or bag for the
camera, especially when the accessories are not so many, but in their hands
carry not out? For these purposes, try using a belt kits. Most manufacturers
provided a modular system expansion capabilities of these belts: in addition to
the main compartment contemplate hinged cases for lenses, flashes, documents.
Good belt photographer - useful accessory.
Linz-pen (cleaning kit lens)
Not expensive and very handy tool for cleaning the lens from
drops, fingerprints and dust. It does not replace damp cloth with strong
pollution, but those listed above helps to get rid of "a great
success" without leaving streaks! At one end located velvety cupped
machined surface graphite composition, and on the other side of the brush. It
should be about 350-700 rubles.
A polarizing filter. Do I need a photo Filter?
This is one of the few types of filters that I recommend to
buy a beginner photographer. Because he does not pass the reflected light, your
views may significantly transformed: the sky is blue, the foliage greener. It
helps when shooting through glass (windows, car windows), because neutralizes
glare and reflections! The cost depends on the diameter of the lens, but a
simple polarizing filter will cost 500-600 rubles.
An external hard drive for storing digital photo library
Technology is not perfect and I am sure that virtually every
aspiring photographer, sooner or later faced with a breakdown. And God forbid,
if it turns out the hard drive on which the results of many years of archives
housed creative exploration of the photographer. And the question of data
backup is quite simple: the main highlight of this disk space. Note that
backing up to an external storage to save your data in the event of power
failure, when failure may affect all devices connected to the computer. The
cost depends on the size of the hard drive, ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 rubles.
This concern for the safety of the photo will never be superfluous. Even your
friend professional photographer thank for such a useful gift!
Professional monitor for the photographer. Inexpensive
monitor for the photographer
The best monitor for the photographer - a thing quite
expensive and its purchase should be approached only after thoroughly
understanding that the photograph - is not an empty exercise for a couple of
weeks. For me it was a surprise that the line is not sonny professional
monitors for graphics. In the end, I settled for the company NEC, semi-Series
UXI. Today, the cost of such a display size of 20 inches will be about 25,000
rubles. (And this at the cost of a conventional home monitor 4000-6000 rub.).
The first advantage unsophisticated domestic counterparts is to transfer the
entire depth of tones and uniform illumination of the field of the screen in
the correct colors. Professional Monitor - an indispensable accessory
photographer for many years.
Old film camera
If you choose to gift a beginner or a professional
photographer, a good gift would be workable old film camera. This can be a
Zenith or Sharp, and can FED. If there is a financial opportunity, it is better
to look at the large-format cameras overseas production, comes to us from the
past. However, such a gift is greatly appreciated professional who has played
enough with modern technology and looking for diversity in the application of
creative skills.
You can give the photographer:
USB flash drive, a camera lens...
Mug a lens
Small camera the size of a matchbox (and it works). I wrote
once about the small camera.
The subscription for the magazine photo
Or digital picture frame
Certificate for the manufacture of photo books (albums no
longer in vogue)
States - the right accessory, but an ambiguous gift. Before
buying is to read about choosing a tripod for the camera.
