You never know what kind of photo opportunity is going to turn up, so it is crucial that you have all of your accessories ready at any given moment. A great camera bag is the most important camera accessory that a new photographer can have. It should be an extension of your body after a few weeks, something that you never leave home without.

A Tripod
Even the most steady-handed of people cannot make due without this must-have camera accessories. A tripod is going to be crucial for some of the best shots that you’re ever going to take.

A Lens Cleaner And An LCD Protector
No matter how careful you are, your camera is going to get dirty out in the wild. There is nothing that is more annoying than working for half an hour to set up the perfect shot and then seeing that the picture was ruined by smudges on your lens. That’s why a good lens cleaner should always be handy so that you’re seeing things crystal clear. The same goes for your LCD viewing screen too. It’s easy to mistake a smudge there for problems on the lens itself, so make sure you are keeping both clean at all times.
