6 must-haves accessories for your DSLR when Travelling
I am no expert in photography nor am I claiming to be one. Being a newbie on photography, I've researched among my friends offline and online on what would probably be the best travel accessories.
My family loves to travel and of course, in this era of DSLRs, it's a must have! My younger brother got one 2 years back while my first one was just purchased a month ago and I am still struggling to get "acceptable" photos. My brother bought the Canon 400d while I got a Nikon D90.
I know most of you would probably say that I should have gotten a Canon rather than a Nikon so we could share lenses but, I decided to go for the Nikon anyway.
Back on topic, when travelling, these are the following must-haves:
1. Extra battery - Obvious reasons, I guess. (I bought mine in Pixel Pro)
2. Extra memory card - Unless you have a portable hard drive where you can dump your photos (like this gadget given to me 2 years ago.) It would be much better to have extra memory cards.
3. External Flash - Although this requires lighting skills, it's still included in the must-haves for night / low-light photography.
4. All around lens - There are a lot of all-around lenses but the best one I know of is the 24-70 f2.8 (Kit lens like 18-105 are also "ok". For my last trip, I used 50mm f1.8 prime lens and it was very challenging!) I like the 50mm because it is lightweight but, photos will be very hard to take using that lens.
5. Lens hood - For instance, the kit lens of the Nikon D90 comes with a lens hood. Bring that for outdoor shooting!
6. Tripod/ Gorillapod - The latter would be easier to carry than the Tripod but, the use is pretty much the same. It now depends on what you would like to shoot. Also, I do not recommend buying the gorillapod in CDR-king because it is pretty useless.
I know it is very tempting to buy that because it costs only 380 pesos but, the quality and build would be compromised. The original Gorillapod for DSLRs costs around 2,500 pesos.
For more information on the prices of these gadgets, call Pixel Pro at 7269387 or 5845356
They have just about anything and everything you need for your photography gears.

Pixel Pro Inc - Photo Sessions
Not only did I learn photography techniques, but, I also learned stuff from the new camera I bought.
I can't forget what Mr. Mike Mariano said to me that day...
"You should read the manual! This is a great camera!"
The truth is, I just bought my Nikon D90 from them a few weeks back before the actual seminar. I had a good deal and I must say that I am very happy with the service they gave me. That day, I even bought an extra battery (el-3ne?) for my cam!
The techniques taught were basic but without knowing them, I am sure that your foundation would be not good.
Mr. Mike Mariano, a professional photographer and a professor in my alma mater, DLS-CSB, was the instructor for the day. He was really good!
I was there with several bloggers and there was a raffle at the end. Who would have thought I would win a Canon Selphy printer from Pixel Pro?? I won!!!!!!!!
Also, congratulations to letsgosago for winning the grand prize - A canon digital camera!!!
More information about the lessons to follow.
Thank you again Pixel Pro for that very interesting photography bloggers event!
