Some of the essentials might change with the type of photography you want to do. You already mentioned some of the key elements, but to that, there's room for the addition of lighting, reflectors, light meters, filters, etc. A monopod might also be a good investment, but once again, the type of photography will tend to dictate what you will need. BTW, I'll be visiting your beautiful country in several weeks...looking forward to that

Thanks for the input.

Oh are you, where abouts?? Definitly DO NOT forget your camera lol

Literally every road in the countryside has amazing and endless photo oppurtunities, or you can dander across fields and find a nice photo of a flowing river or stone wall.

I live close to Belfast in Northern Ireland. I presume you are going to Dublin area?

P.S I just searched on ebay for a monopod because I had no idea what it was and it was what I have been wondering of this item over the past week. Thanks so much

Flying in and out of Shannon...staying and visiting wife's relatives in Roscommon. Her cousin is singer/songwriter Mick Banahan (Rig the Jig)..do you know of him? We'll be there for two weeks, and knowing my wife, we'll probably be covering the countryside from end to end
