Camera Bag Must Haves?

Over the weekend in between packing and moving boxes, I spent a little time with the Twitterverse and had a chance to get some fun dialogs going.  One of the questions posed was “Camera body aside, what are the must have essentials for you in your camera bag?”  My answer was my two filters, the polarizing filter and the ND filter for the wide angle (10-22) and telephoto (70-200) respectively.  I got some great responses from people that I thought would be interesting to share here on the blog today.  Here’s the responses from each twitter name:

  • tcrpmg:  Charger, extra cards, batteries bug spray and hand sanitizer
  • DIYPhotography: SB800, trigger, gridspot, flash clamp
  • playleimagery: extension tubes, reflector, filters, and a Cokin p350 hood  (plus tons of batteries)
  • steelersnm: batteries, charger, cleaning supplies and business cards
  • pwscott: Giotto Rocketblower
  • kevin_mullins: My lucky feather
  • lesault: 430EX, diffuser, wireless trigger, hair ties

Batteries seem to be a common favorite accessory, which makes sense because you never wanna be without the juice!  What about the rest of the reading audience?  Any personal favorite accessories you take along with you when shooting?  Sound off in the comments!  Oh yeah, and if you’re not following me yet, jump on board and you too can sound off in real time, as well as see your Twitter account up in lights (well, maybe not in lights, but at least mentioned when I do these questions from time to time…)

In the meantime, keep on shooting – this month the contest theme is Height and the Flickr thread is open for entries through the last Friday of the month – midnight mountain time as always is the deadline.  Happy shooting and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for more photo goodness!
