SHUTTER RELEASE

A shutter release allows you to take photos without touching the camera. This helps ensure a sharp photographs for longer exposures.

It is always a good idea to have a few extra batteries on hand. Batteries die faster when using LiveView and in colder temps during the morning.

A tripod is a must when shooting sunrise/sunset and night photography. You will be using longer exposures and you will not be able to handhold the camera.
NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTERS
