Also, don't forget to take backup stuff in your camera bag, like additional memory card and backup batteries are so important.

4. When you should and should not use a flash

It's a very interesting topic because many photographers oppose the idea of using flash or not or light modifiers. According to my opinion, In the Sun light firing the flash at the same angle of the lens result can be dull, so you need to take the flash off the camera and shoot from the side. In the night events, it allows you to customize a blank canvas upon which you can fill up your own colors and creativity along with the flash.
