ACCESSORIES & SUPPORTS
Accessories cover the range of extra equipment beyond the simple combination of camera and lens . What counts as a necessary extra is , however , largely a matter of opinion . Some filters are a useful addition , but the most effective are those that do a basic job of altering the colour values and tonal qualities , rather than the trick effects that receive the most publicity in photography magazines . A basic set includes some light balancing filters , colour correction filters for common lighting problems ( such as fluorescent illumination ) , a polarizing filter , colourless ultra - violet and a neutral ( grey ) graduated filter .
A shoulder bag is the usual way of carrying cameras , lenses , film and various odds and ends . Simple is better than fancy , because bags that advertise you as a photographer do nothing to help the picture and may even make candid photography more difficult . Choose a bag just large enough for what you need , that is , for shooting and carrying around . A large , multi - pocketed case is only useful if you have the equipment to fill it , and even then you may not find it much of a pleasure to carry for long .
One last item of basic equipment , even if you do not carry it with you con- stantly , is a tripod . Bulky and awkward though it may be , it is the best answer for situations that call for slow shutter speeds . A room interior shot with good depth of field , an evening landscape , city lights at night , or a close - up are examples of types of picture in which handholding will not normally do the job . Even in good light , a tripod is a powerful aid to composition , making it easier to align things exactly in the viewfinder , and , of course , add a cable release .
ABOVE A mini tripod is easy to fit into a gadget bag and can give excellent support .
ABOVE Larger tripods , although bulky , tend to be far more flexible than their baby counterparts .
Lens hoods are designed to prevent flare by stopping stray rays of light from reaching the front element of the lens . As the illustration here shows , the hoods come in various shapes and lengths to suit the various focal lengths ; a long hood on a wide - angle lens would result in a blacking out of a large section of the image , while a short , flared hood on a telephoto lens
would not do its job at all . Although add - on hoods that screw onto the front of lenses are still widely available , built - in hoods designed for particular focal lengths are becoming ever - more common . Add - on hoods are available both in plastic and in soft rubber or a similar material , which collapses to facilitate ease of carrying .
ABOVE Cable releases are an important way of reducing vibration . They come in varying lengths and can be locked during long exposures .
Soft Bags and Cases
ABOVE On the whole , aluminium carrying cases provide excellent support and protection for expensive equipment , although they can be cumbersome and act as a magnet for thieves .
ABOVE A wide range of soft camera bags are available , many with an array of pockets to carry such items as film and filters , plus purpose - built pouches to hold zooms and fixed focal length lenses .
ABOVE Perhaps the ultimate in convenience , camera - and - lens pouches are usually designed so that they can be attached to a belt around the waist .
ABOVE A basic set of filters can include colour - correction , neutral , graduated , polarizing , and light balancing filters .
ABOVE PVC cases , with the same shock - absorbing filler as the aluminium cases , are less likely to attract attention .
