PHOTOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT LIST<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that choosing your camera equipment comes with a price tag, but you can start out slow and add to your tool kit over time.<\/p>\n

Making a wish list of all your \u201cwants\u201d and then prioritizing the list is a good first step. Those priorities on the list can and will change over time, but it\u2019s a great place to start.<\/p>\n

With so many options available, here are some suggestions to help simplify the process, so you can make some intelligent choices.<\/p>\n

1. A DSLR Camera & Lenses <\/strong><\/p>\n

At the top of the wish list is the necessary camera and lenses. Try to look ahead at long term use, as well as what kind of photography you find of interest, such as macro, wildlife, portraits, or landscapes. This will help you to determine your priorities – which lenses to purchase first.<\/p>\n

There are many manufacturers with an array of DSLR cameras and lens options. Most provide discounted kits that include the camera and a couple of lenses – not necessarily the best glass, but a good starting point. Balance it all within your budget, while at the same time you\u2019ll want these expensive items to grow with your abilities and interests.
