- Camera: Sony a6000
Good posts rely not on just in great content but also in good photos; it’s more attractive for the eyes to have a nice photo accompany a text than just some sh*ty smartphone picture. Therefore, some time ago I decided to invest in a good camera that would fit my requests: small, light, easy to work with and with the possibility to exchange lenses. Firstly, I came across the Sony a5100 which I loved but unfortunately, it was stolen from me (read more about it here – post in PT). But there was one thing I did not like about the Sony a5100 was the fact that it did not have a view finder. So, I decided to buy the Sony a6000 and have been in love ever since! The only minus for me is the fact you can’t rotate the screen 180° like the Sony a5100 does.
- Photo Editing: Lightroom
In order to edit those photos a bit and go the extra mile that sometimes the camera did not capture (or I wasn’t able to set it correctly), I use Lightroom software. I do have a membership (12.29Eur/month) which allows me to use Photoshop as well, but so far I did not adventure in its world. Lightroom is just so easy for me to use, even though I still have a LOT to learn, but so far I am super happy with it. I do not edit my photos too much because I want them to remain real and true.
- Social Media Scheduler: Buffer
In order to reach a larger audience on social media platforms, I use the app Buffer which allows me to schedule posts, as many times a day as I wish and as in advance as I want.
- Social Media photos: Canva
With Canva you can just make nice photos to use wither on your blog or also on your social media posts. I use it all the time to announce new posts; a nice background picture with cute fonts on is just so appealing to the eyes!

Wonderful article, thanks for putting this together! This is obviously one great post. Thanks for the valuable information and insights you have so provided here.
Great post! Though I have heard about LightRoom I haven't used it and have no idea how it works. I love Canva it makes things so much easier and the options are endless.
