Episode 245
If you listen to this podcast for very long, you know that it isn’t really about camera gear, but this week I did want to focus on the five most essential pieces of gear you should always have in your camera bag.
Luckily, you can get all of these pieces of gear for little to no money, and many of you might even have them already around the house. The purpose of this equipment is not to add to your physical gear, but rather to shift your mental approach to your photography. Each one of these pieces of gear is about changing your approach to your work so that you can focus on the most favorable results, embrace any opportunity, and find motivation when things fall apart.
Here is the list of gear you should have in your bag for making better photographs.
- Copy of your favorite photo
- Book of favorite quotes
- Lucky object
- Padded seat
- Few dollars tucked in a pocket of your camera bag
