To best equip your digital camera for flower photography and macro photography in general, consider adding the following accessories to your inventory:

• Tripod – For sharp and steady shots, use a tripod to avoid camera shake and unsteady shooting.
  
• Macro lens or close-up lens – If you can afford it, consider adding a new lens to your lineup… A close-up lens or a macro lens will significantly enhance your flower photographing abilities.
  
• Artificial lighting, like:
  o Basic lighting kit
  o Daylight balanced compact fluorescent bulbs
  o Ring light – a type of flash unit that fits directly around the lens and produces images almost exclusively without shadows
  o Photoflex light disks – Hold these collapsible light disks between your camera and the sun to minimize shadows and smooth out the lighting.
  
• A large 30-inch EZcube™ - This contraption serves as an artificial background and an easy way to smooth out the lighting and reduce shadows when shooting flowers. A product of this size should allow great opportunities with both small flowers and bouquets.
  
• Artificial background like colored paper – When you want to capture a simple yet lovely image, consider implementing your own background if the present background is less than desirable.
  
• An atomizer to simulate water droplets – Sometimes a few droplets of morning dew make all the difference between an average flower photograph and a truly great image. Experiment with your flower photography to achieve the best shots possible.
