Equipment
Giottos Rocket Air Kit

Cleaning your camera, lenses, mirror box and CCD or CMOS, has become frustratingly annoying. Now with the digital age I find cleaning off dust has become more annoying than ever.  Whereas previously dust would be cleaned off automatically with each slide of film your CCD and CMOS sensor never change.  Now that I shoot more photos, I change lenses more often and my lenses get even dirtier.  I needed a better solution to cleaning my lenses and camera than just a simple lens pen.  Enter the Giottos Rocket Air Cleaning Kit.

BG-E1 Battery Grip

The Canon BG-E1 Battery grip or vertical grip as it's sometimes called is an accessory often overlooked by many amateur photographers. Besides the obvious of adding capacity to shoot off two batteries instead of one, there are many intangible ergonomic functions to the grip which are of even more importance.

Canon EW-63II Lens Hood
A lens hood is an accessory often overlooked by the begginning photographer.  But if you start to pay attention to more experienced photographers you will notice probaly almost all of their lenses have these big ugly things sticking out the front of them.  Since the Canon 28-105 USM lens is one I often walk around with and that I use a lot, I decided to spend the money on the original Canon recommended hood.  This is the hood Canon recommends for this SLR lens and is designed to work well with it.

Use your filters on all your lenses with a Step Up Ring
If your anything like me you probaly have lenses of various diameters.  Some of the more common ones for Canon Lenses are 52mm, 58mm, and 72mm.  Well, I spent a fair chunk of money to get a very high quality Circular polarizer in the Tiffen unit.  But a couple of my favorite lenses are my Nikon 135mm, and Canon 50mm 1.8 Mk2.  Both of these lenses are actually smaller than the 58mm polarizer.  As well they are actually smaller than all of my filters.  So you might think I had to buy another set of filters for these lenses.  We'll, your wrong!

Wireless Flash Trigger
The key to any studio or even photography in general is having good control over your lighting.  In that sense an on camera flash really isn't that controllable.  It is from an awkward angle, and can't be directed. Using a studio strobe or off camera flash can be an excellent way to achieve dramatic and flattering lighting effects.  I opted to try out one of the Wireless Flash Trigger's found on eBay.  Mine was sold by Photoland168, and is of the RF 4-channel type.  There are some pretty nice advantages to going with this unit.

Canon RC5 Wireless Remote Trigger
Having a wireless remote trigger for the shutter of your camera is extremely convenient. Instead of waiting for the 10 sec timer you can remotely trigger your camera to take a photo with this handy little device.  The unit is compatable with both the Canon Digital Rebel and the Rebel XT.  The range I'd say is about 15 ft, but if your using it in strong sunlight outdoors, it may be reduced some.
