BLOGGING FAVOURITES

I get quite a few general questions on blogging, so I thought this kind of thing might be useful to some of you. Plus, I love reading this kind of thing on other blogs.. I guess I like the nosey side of it, a bit of a 'behind the scenes' sort of thing. Anyhoo, I'm by no means clued up when it comes to blogging (I've had my DSLR for well over a year and I'm still pretty useless with it), but these are the bits & bobs that help me out. 

External Hard Drive
A must. For me, 40000 pictures on my computer isn't that much. My laptop doesn't agree. It's not the most glamorous of blogging essentials, but having somewhere to put all your pictures is handy if you want to stay on good terms with your computer. Plus, I do envisage that in my 70s, I'll find all these storage devices and be able to look back on my 'heyday'.. when grandma was less wrinkly and grey. Ha.

Canon 1.8 50mm Lens
This is the lens I use for all my outdoorsy shots. It's probably not the best for what I need (you have to position your camera miles away to get in shot), but it's the cheapest to get a bit of that blurry background thing going on. 

 Filofax
Girl gotta be organised. I'm not, not at all, but I try. Having an organiser does work a little bit.. I write plenty of lists and notes relating to blogging, they're just not quite as neat as I'd like them to be. Having said that, I do lug my Filofax around a lot. Good intentions. 

DSLR Remote
My biggest blog pictures essential. I once used to manage focusing my camera on the bird table, that was until I realised you could get these things for around £15 on eBay. 90% of my blog pictures are done by myself, with my tripod and this remote. I'm way too awkward with people taking my picture, so I can snap away on this without it all being a big cringe fest. 

 Samsung S3
I've since upgraded to the S5, but I am indeed a blogger that doesn't own an iPhone. Shock horror! I've nothing against iPhones, I just like the fancy pants camera you get with Samsung. It makes my Instagram obsessed life a little easier.
