A photographer headed out the front
door will always carry a backpack full of cameras and accessories with them
at all times. Heck, sometimes I head out and I feel like I am taking everything i have, including the kitchen sink with me. However, many often forget the essential non-camera related
accessories. But you should always carry these non essential accessories with
you…
Carrying electrical tape is essential for many
photo shoots. It may not seem useful at first, but consider this: you are
involved in a major photo shoot and you have to attach one of your flashes to a
tree or a railing to get the best off-camera light. Electrical tape is a simple
and temporary tool for this job.
Anything that can’t be held by electrical tape
can be held by alligator clips. These are especially useful for holding wires
away from the lens during complicated shoots.
Bring a clean towel to help wipe off your
camera lens if it rains or if mud splashes the lens.
Other
accessories you should take to every photo shoot include a pad of paper for
taking notes, pencils, a flashlight, a cell phone and some water and an energy
or granola bar….
For me it's a lens silk. Front left pocket. That's where my lens cap lives as well.
