11 Essential Photography Gear Items Every Beginner Photographer Should Get  Hi and welcome to Episode 119 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Before I go on I need your help. I need your questions to answer. More on this at the end.

Here is the answery bit.
I am going to tell you 11 essential bits of photography gear that will get you going taking great photos. They are

1.  A tripod
2.  Hurricane/ brush blower
3.  Pec Pads
4.  Lens cleaning solution
5.  Spare batteries
6.  Memory cards
7.  Memory card cases
8.  ND filter
9.  Book
10.  Camera Bag
11.  Another lens

Ok – this is my list after all – I am sure that there are those who will disagree, but that is fine.

Now let me quickly go through each of these.
