2. Photography bag
Photography bags should be a very important accessory for photographers. Whether it is our daily street sweeping shooting or long-distance shooting, the camera bag plays a vital role in the carrying and protection of cameras, lenses and other equipment. The difference between a photography bag and an ordinary backpack is that the photographic bag can protect the photographic equipment through reasonable space separation and sufficient buffer protection layer, while not allowing the equipment to squeeze and collide with each other.
What to focus on when choosing a bag may be different for every photographer. The author himself focuses on these aspects: the weight of the photography bag, the protective ability of the photographic bag, the structural characteristics of the photographic bag, the fast capture ability of the photographic bag, the appearance of the photographic bag, etc.
Today, I recommend two brands to you, one is the domestic cutting-edge – PGYTECH (Dandelion Intelligent Technology), their photography bag is currently a big Internet celebrity on the market; The other is the old domestic brand – Bainuo, they have been working diligently and have a good performance in the market.
1. PGYTECHOneGo photography bag

PGYTECHOneGo is different from most photography bags on the market because it is beautiful enough and won the Red Dot Award 2021 in Germany. The author himself saw PGYTECHOneGo at first glance and was attracted by its appearance. PGYTECH OneGo adopts a waterproof and wear-resistant exterior fabric design, scratch-proof, waterproof and stain-resistant, so we carry it outdoors without worrying about backpacks.

PGYTECH OneGo also has many surprises and intimate small designs, after getting it, the author’s feeling is that it is worth the money, and the Internet celebrity photography bag is really not ordinary.
2. Beyond LN photography bag
Bainuo is also a domestic brand that has been cultivating photography bags for many years, and it has many photography bag series. In recent years, the Beyond series of photography bags has also become the choice of many photographers.

Due to the special needs of professionals, camera bags provide a safe carrying solution to protect the expensive and vulnerable equipment they carry. The bag’s ergonomic carrying system allows comfortable and safe long journeys even while carrying the equipment. Side opening for quick access to the camera.
3. Lens filter
Filters, which may seem like a very small accessory, can make a big difference, especially in landscape photography. Filters are necessary in many scenarios, such as ND filters and CPL filters on the street and outdoors. In recent years, the development of domestic filter brands is getting better and better, and the manufacturing process and technical level are constantly improving rapidly, so the price of relatively close to the people of domestic filters has ushered in more opportunities, we can see many domestic filter brands in many international image exhibitions.
The filter brands introduced to you today are two, Nesi and Kase, I believe that it is also a familiar brand for many photographers and photography enthusiasts. The products introduced are mainly ND filters and CPL filters.
1. ND filter
ND filter
ND filter, also known as a light remover, has the same effect as if we wear sunglasses, it can reduce the entry of some light, so that the whole picture becomes dark. ND filters also have levels, if transparent glass is seen as ND1, then ND2 reduces exposure by 1 stop, ND4 by 2 stops, ND8 by 3 stops, ND16 by 4 stops, ND32 by 5 stops, and so on.
The dimmer is very suitable for shooting water flow, or using long exposure to filter people during the day, or taking photos of total solar eclipses and so on, but the dimmer should not be superimposed when used, or it is not good to superimpose with the polarizer, etc., because the mattifier is easy to cause color casting, and if the color shift of the picture is superimposed and used, the degree of color shift will be more serious.
2. CPL filter
CPL filter
Polarizer is also called PL mirror, and our common CPL is polarizer (translated as circular polarizer). The polarizer works by accepting light in only one direction and removing the reflected light. When we shoot, the most intuitive feeling is that the sky is bluer, and when shooting objects in the glass, they will not be affected by reflections.
The polarization filter also has a problem in use, because it only accepts light in a single direction, so pay attention to the angle of shooting, and when using it, the user needs to rotate the filter sheet to find the right angle. In addition, when using polarizers, it is generally necessary to reduce the exposure by two stops, so the brightness of the viewfinder and the speed of the shutter will be reduced.
In fact, there are many accessories for photography, but space is limited, we have selected three types of the most common and most frequently used accessories to recommend to everyone. The product quality of domestic accessories brands has improved significantly in recent years, and it has not been lost to international big brands at all, so photography enthusiasts and photographers can give priority to our own brands when choosing accessories, and the price can also save a lot.
