Having the right processing and storing equipment for your photography will definitely help in making workflow, especially post processing much easier. Yet, answering the question about which is the best for the photographer is rather difficult. Not only does each photographer have different wants and needs, but each device has its own special characteristics that make it great.
Computers
Let's first take a look at the type of computer you may want to choose as a photographer. Although only you can decide whether you will opt for a laptop out of convenience or choose a more powerful desktop, the key is choosing a large enough memory processor to suit your needs. Since you will be running editing software, no doubt, from this computer, memory storage is crucial to processing times. The larger your memory, the better.
Examining Printers
For printers, you must decide whether to own one or simply process your photos elsewhere. Next, the quality that you demand is often a key factor in making this determination. Of course, a balance must be maintained between budget and quality. Still, size of the image (dimensions) and pixel density will be important features to consider.
Photo Storage
Cloud and hardware storage options are available, but using a little of each may be the real solution in the long run. For cloud storage, find a service with great protection and easy full-quality retrieval. For hardware, decide on the balance between convenience and expense when selecting cards, DVDs, or external drives for storing your photographs.
Editing Software
Not only must you find software compatible with your computer, but you should also check to see how much memory is required for fast rendering. Once you have these questions answered, you can then move on to the details of the effects and functionality that you are looking for. Let ease of use be your guide unless you are planning to invest the hours needed to learn the software.
Choosing the Most Essential Piece of Equipment
When your computer, software, storage, and printing options are taken care of, you finally have time to devote to the most important tool of a photographer. Although you will find a camera that matches your current development, that will no doubt change over time. With your improved skill level and improvements in photography, you'll find that your camera changes with you.
Examining Lenses
As you move toward professional photography, you will realize how crucial the right lens is. Yet, when you are starting out with your first DSLR, one lens should be sufficient. But, as you develop your skills and technology changes, you'll be able to settle on a camera that will last a good portion of your career. At that time, you can begin adding to your collection a variety of lenses.
Once you have your equipment in place, you're ready to explore the world of photography to its fullest! Choosing what works best for you is the key. Although this may require some planning, it will be well worth it in the long run.
