"Hi. I’m Scott Vallance. I am here today on behalf of Expert Village.com. You can go to my website vipphotographic.com. Today we are going to be discussing camera accessories. First thing I want you to know about is cleanliness; lens, papers and this is actually I call it a pocket rocker. It is a duster to dust dirt off of your camera. We are going to switch to filters. There are different kinds of filters and some people say that the big difference between amateur and pro is the use of filters. The ones I am going to talk about today are just the skylight filters which you purchase and put on front of your lens the second you buy your lens. It protects your lens from dust and dirt, finger prints and if you accidentally drop the lens, much rather break a $100 filter than an $1800 lens. What we have here is a powerful strobe which the camera fits on. This is a strobe bracket and it takes the flash up and away from the camera and gives you pleasingly results. Back to filters, this is a filter case to carry all your different types of filters in. I carry enhancing filters, polarizing filters, extra skylights and fluorescent filters to help correct the color balance of fluorescent lights. I also carry lens caps to keep your lens clean and then sunshades. Sunshades fit right onto your camera when the sun is at an angle to your camera; this will help keep the sun off the front of the lens and will keep your contrast normal. That is it in a nutshell. Thanks. "
