Why you should always have a spare battery.

You should always have a spare battery while you are using your camera. Many times I didn't bring a external battery and the camera battery run's out. The only option at the time, with my flip camera that didn't have any external batteries for me camera. What I used to do, is to bring an other camera with you. If you don't get the shot you are screwed. My situation changed, because I got a DSLR that you can buy more batteries for the device. More batteries means more battery life, and you always want 2 or more batteries. I am saving up for a 1.4 50mm lens right now, and I have 2 Canon LP-E6 batteries that are enough for about 1 hour and 20 minutes of footage, with the I-S lens. It would be nice to have 4 batteries, that a good estimate on how much batteries you need. If you run it down maybe you can get more battery life out of your batteries. Also a little tip of the day, when you are recording with a DSLR, try to be as discreet as possible, while you are recording at a museum or something. I should bring my mic to the museum and just say, oh I gave the mic to my dad, can I just take pictures now....That's what I am going to do...Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
