So, the shopping list wasn’t what I expected.
#1-I was in a rush to buy some of it so I didn’t have the chance to “shop around”.
#2-I didn’t get much of what I wanted
#3-I got more then what I had on the list (but at least I needed it)
Here is what I got:
-A protective camera “travel” bag from REI $50
-Protective lens case from REI $20
-A Carson “The Rock” tripod from REI $23
-Ball pivot head for tripod from REI $9
-Extra camera battery from Cameraworks $50
-UV filter for my 70-300mm from Cameraworks $14
-Extra rechargable batteries for external flash from Radio Shack $20
-Extra 2gb SD card from Radio Shack $20
-A borrowed stroboframe flash bracket (is $145.63…or thanks to Jon…$24 on EBAY!!)
-A borrowed Nikon external flash (is $350)
Why do I list the prices? Well, I am a struggling beginner photographer that can’t afford much, and I know there are others out there like me that might want to know what to get and where to get it for cheap!! I have a long way to go before I have everything I need but I do the best with what I have and that’s what counts!!
