How to Take Care of Trish (My Nikon D60)

After reading some materials in forums and books, I think it's time to list down what I need for my Trish. I need to accomplish this before the next photo shoots!

My Own Camera Checklist!

First things first...

1.) Get her that UV Filter to protect your lens. (CHECK)




2.) Get a Screen Protector for the digital screen. I saw one in Digital Walker, Greenbelt5 based in Phipho. They will cut it to size and install it for you. (Yeap, they did that when I first bought it!)

3.) Get a camera bag (if it didn't come free with the camera). If you want something cheap, use your own bag but make sure it has proper cushioning. (I do, but I'm planning to buy a Crumpler! ^^)


4.) Get her new cleaning accessories. The rocket blower and the lens pen would be a good start. I've got a lens pen and 3M Microfiber free with the package I bought. I have to find a blower!

5.) Extra battery (get either another Nikon battery or Phottix at almost half the price). I don't have this yet but this would make sure I would never run out of juice.

6.) Diffuser for your built-in flash. Gives subjects a natural tone and removes the harsh reflections on their faces. I bought one yesterday! Yehey!



7.) Nikon IR Remote so I could do self portraits! It's gonna be in my hands by tomorrow!



8.) Lens Hood, which I will also buy from DP... it is a little expensive but I need this so I won't battle too much with natural glare from daylight...9.) Tripod, which probably is going to be bought in CDRKING... it's cheaper there! I need the function and I won't look at the brand anymore! Hahah...

Most accessories of my cam can be bought in Pixelpro (VMall, Greenhills), DigitalWalker (Greenbelt5) or JT (Pasong Tamo) for nearly the same price as in Hidalgo. I would not want to go too much in Quiapo, the place is creepy heheh.


These things are minimum to protect Trish... I'll take good care of her don't you worry!
