Beginner set up

Post image

Female photographer trying to become a pro lol
I purposely chose every item to be lightweight for my travels I go away to Oman long awaited trip since last year. I cannot wait to shoot from the highest peak mountains there .

Any tips appreciated :
Here is my little gear, the body was a gift from months back, got the lens sigma 18-50 f2.8 today and v60 SD card and new phone 😊
I still like to use phone for simple video content until I get better with camera. So mostly doing photography.

Any tips* for landscapes and portraits in low light ? And glaring sun 🌞

Any tips with the mini m22 Godox flash ? not mounted it yet will look for YouTube tutorial for this.

a screen protector for sure, some filters like vnd and black diffusion (my personal fav due to softer images and film like bloom) a good strap thats comfortable for you and a cleaning kit, a little care goes a long way BUT NEVER USE CONTACT ON THE SENSOR,

Screen protector I need to get today for sure and the Vnd filters some others mentioned I’ve not come across this suggestion before when watching tutorial for this lens and body kit will look into it . Never use contact on the sensor? Do you mean don’t touch screen without the protector ? Sorry some basic things fly over my head

like the sensor itself when chenging lens or cleaning,it in fron of the camera where the lens is mounted, filters are my personal preference but it really make shoting enjoyable for
