What accesories do i need as a beginner photographer?

i currently own a nikon d3200 with 18-55+extra battery. As i doing my own learning. The problems i encountered were lens flare and reflections on the glass. I am buying a tamron 10-24mm for wide shots. Do i need a lens hood? How do i totally eliminate lens flare and reflection? What would be a good beginner tripod? There are different types? I got a dslr tripod before the cheap ones are hard to pan/tilt. What are dslr harness used for? What other things i could be missing out? Thank you

How to take better pictures? - 1

I have a nikon D5100 that came with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G VR lense and I wanna know how to take better pictures? Whenever I take a picture it's usually blurry
I put it on the correct setting like if I'm taking a picture of a flower I'll put it on the flower setting. I adjust the focus ring and still comes out blurry?

Video Stabilizer for recording an amateur film?

Hi, I am planning to film a short action movie that would require a lot of running and panning from the camera operator. I already have a tripod but I was looking around to see what tools there are to stabilize the film from hand movements.
I found 2:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Handheld-Camera-Steadycam-Steadicam-Video-Stabilizer-for-Canon-Nikon-DSLR-LF327-/171298778410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item27e233ed2a&_uhb=1

Both have a slight difference in price. But that aside, which tool would be more ideal if I am going to run with the camera?

Thanks

Should I upgrade from my Canon EOS 350D/Rebel XT in the near future?

I currently own the Canon EOS 350D. Yes it's 2014 and its almost 10 years old and blah blah please don't mention its age, I love it for the features it gives me and the images are great. I also love the features it has, I learned how to go slr with this camera years back and I would never need anything more in image quality.'

The one thing I'm really concerned about is the build quality. I'm worried, that if I drop it it will shatter. I have big hands and a big grip, it feels a tad small and plasticy for my tastes. I like the fake leather design and heavier and metal clad build of the amateur and professional bodies.

I could just buy a battery grip and keep it, this is where I ask your advice.

Other things, such are burst fps, the clickwheel for adjusting in manual mode (soooo much faster than the buttons on the Rebel lineup) and the weather sealing are other factors that make me consider another camera.

Now, since I have a Canon I am looking at other Canons. I like the looks of the 20/30/40D, but I've even looked at some professional models such as the 1D mkII. I also am fond of Nikons, but once again I would have to state a new inventory of lenses if I bought one.

I don't want to pay over 350$ for the body really. I don't need much better image quality or noise performance than my 350D has, either.

I plan on using the body for general purposes (all scenarios, the lenses are what I change regularly).

And please don't question my shooting experience.

Quality photog backpack for Haiti trip?!

I am going on a missions trip to haiti this summer and am looking to buy a nice backpack to carry all of my gear in. I am taking a nikon d3100 body with a grip, the 18-55 kit lens, 55-200, 35mm prime, and other small stuff (hoods, filters, batteries, and some personal items)
I am hoping to spend less than $150.00 on it and I am looking for a backpack that will provide good security (while I am wearing it/if I ever were to take it off--don't plan on that), enough space for everything, relatively small(carry-on size), and water/weather-proof.
I understand that it is kind of a big order for so cheap but hopefully someone can help!
I looked at the lowepro flipside 300 and LOVED it but after doing some research I found that it wouldn't fit my camera well with the grip on it.
