Do you buy any special tools for photography?

Frankly speaking, I am very dump in photography. All this while I have been using the automatic camera which will do all the focusing, iris adjustment and trap speed adjust by itself. When I was a boy, I had been playing with a manual camera bought by my parents. From it, I learnt the concept of lighting, speed and focusing. Since I am not an enthusiast in photography, I didn't buy any special tools for it. Nowadays, I have been using the camera function built in my cell phone to take photos :)

Nope. Haven't got to the stage where I need a photography tent for my photos. Most expensive photographic equipment I bought is the upgrade I did last year. Got me a nice DSLR. heh heh... and I love it so much! Still working out the kinks and familiarizing with all the functions and controls. But most of the shots taken so far are good. Training my photographic eye so that I can handle bigger projects in future! Woo~Hoo... cannot wait for that day to come!

I bought some lighting (half my lighting is professional photography stuff, the other half was much cheaper and was purchased at Home Depot). And I also have a few nice backdrops. I have a photographer friend that I borrow poles from sometimes for the backdrop. But since I'm not doing photography professionally right now, I usually just clamp my backdrops to anything around the house to get some nice photos here.

Good, great for you! I bought my new digital camera not too long ago and I haven't planned on buying anything additional to photography so far. Maybe just some books describing some technical skills I need to pay attention as start out. But currently I will suppress my urge to spend large sum of money on this particular new hobby of mine!

whew,,, I don't have to take any photographs of any products, nor do i sell products online,,, So I never bought any tool for photography,,, And I wanted to know which types of product you are likely to sell online,,, so that I may also have some ideas of selling our products online... Keep posting!!!

I love photography, though I would never confess to being an expert by any means at all! My most professional-looking photos tend to turn out when I have used the Macro setting on my Fuji, which makes the foreground/background sharp and the rest blurry. This didn't cost anything as it's already a feature on my camera. But I' addicted to it! I have bought around a dozen lenses, which I get from ebay, and find I can get great bargains. I usually try to barter with the seller too, and ask for a big discount if I buy a few things from them. If you don't ask, you don't get! I agree that you need good equiptment but I think luck and having the eye for photography is much more important. I wish you well with your business! Do you have a link? I would lvoe to see some of them! Hope you enjoy your tent (I do love gadgets and things!!) and let us know how the photos come out!

I agree with you. It will surely help your business. But since photography is not a career for me, though I like taking picture, our digital camera is sufficient enough for me. I don't need to buy any tools for it... except the batteries and the special case to protect it.
