Now that I've been blogging for three years, I thought I would share my blogging essentials.
When I first started out, my essentials were my computer, a point and shoot camera, and a tripod. Three years later I still use the same essentials, but now they're updated versions. There are a bunch of items that I use every day for blogging, but my main four essentials are: my computer, my Canon Rebel T3i with the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II, a tripod, and a camera remote.
You absolutely don't need these to be a blogger. A computer and your thoughts might be all you need or want, but I've found that having a good camera (even if it's just a really good point and shoot) helps because people love looking at pretty pictures. A tripod and a remote are also not essential, but they most definitely help if you're a style blogger or a food blogger (you don't want those sticky fingers touching your camera), or any type of blogger because they have prevent shaky pictures.
All of my blogging essentials are:
- HP Pavilion computer {newer version}
- Canon Rebel T3i camera
- Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens
- Canon 18-55mm kit lens
- Tripod {this one looks really good}
- Camera remote
- iPad Mini
- Adobe Photoshop Elements
- Sticky notes & pen
