Life through a lens, travel photography, abstract,
portraits... and a blog.

Canon EOS 400D	Canon EOS 400D I own the one manufactured in Japan which is called “EOS Kiss Digital X”, an affordable entry-level digital single-lens reflex camera with a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. Specifications: Canon Europe Website Shop: Google product search
Canon 50mm F1.8	Canon 50mm f1.8 Real cheap and shoots great snaps with natural blur. A must have in your lens set. The only problem is that its a fixed 50mm lens, hence you have to move yourself accordingly, to frame the view correctly. The body looks cheap too and I am sure a small fall would break open this lens.
Tamron 18-200	Tamron AF18-200mm A pretty decent zoom lense although it works best in good lighting conditions. Anyways for night shots I really dont need a zoom. Specification: Tamron website Shop: Google product search
SanDisk Extreme 8GB	SanDisk Extreme 8GB 8 GB is ideal as you dont have to worry about filling up your memory, especially on a long holiday, the closest I have got to is 3.1 GB so far. Specifications and Shop: SanDisk Website
Canon IXUS 750	Canon IXUS 750 A good compact pocket digital camera when you dont want to carry your bulky one around. Snaps come really clear and the automated mode is quite good. Canon no longer manufactures this model. Specifications: Canon website

Some other things you might need are.

- A tripod for longer exposure. I use a Marumi one, model “Digital Pro TPK-244B”, which helps when I am using a longer exposure. Its quite flexible and allows both horizontal and vertical shots to be clicked. It has a small spirit/bubble level which helps you keep your camera aligned.
- UV filters. Ensure your expensive lens don’t get damaged by using these, they are cheap and worth the 450/500 rupees ($10) you spend on each.
