Elaine.

Today was my first time to shoot a model. I was really excited when we were told that there would be a model posing for us. I was expecting to get some awesome shots but I got too disappointed that I didn't. HAHA! First, I am still not good (enough) and fast (enough) when it comes to changing my camera settings. Second, we were competing with time (and rain!) so the time was limited. :/ I wish we had enough time and cooperative weather.  I am definitely going back and join the next portrait shooting activity next time! So.. Here are some of the photos which I think look okay. Not really good, but at least it's okay. Lol

That's it! All the other photos are out of focused, underexposed or overexposed HAHA. Practice makes perfect. Practice makes perfect. 

Learn Photography FPPF Way!

 I am currently attending a Basic Photography workshop by Photoworld Manila. I was kind of hesitant to sign up for the workshop because my people skill is not that good. I am so sure that I would be awkward when put in a class. Haha. Lame reason, I know. But I am so glad that I did not listen to my inferior self!

Yes, you can always read tutorials online, I did that too, but being in the class a whole lot different! Knowing what the functions of each feature in your camera is really, really important in taking good photos. I feel like the noobest of the noobs because I didn't even know how to adjust exposure before I attended the FPPF workshops! Yes, I was THAT bad and clueless.

THE Carlos Celdran

 One of the reasons why I love the workshop, aside from all the learnings of course, is because the classes are held at The Fort Santiago in Intramuros! I love, LOVE Intramuros, it's just so picturesque! Even though I used to work in the area, Intramuros still never fails to amaze me. It just feels different there! The photo above is Carlos Celdran of Walk This Way Tours. I wonder how much money he makes? LOL He always has a lot of tourists with him! It is always a delight to see him touring the foreigners! Halo-halo for everyooonee!! ;)

I've always thought photos like this one are photoshopped! Hahaha! Thank you again, FPPF, because of your workshop I now know how to take a panning shot! The photo above is the product of my first attempt to do the panning shot. 

Anyway, I have been so busy that it took me so long to post an update here. I am so sorry readers blog. I promise I will update you again. SOON.

Million People March To Luneta

For my first entry here, I'd like to share the photos that I shot earlier. If you are a Filipino, I am sure that you are aware of the rally that took place at the Quirino Grandstand. I was supposed to go there in the morning, but I was too scared that it would rain so hard. :/ I wish I did go earlier.

There are times when I feel like our country is a hopeless case already. This isn't the first time that something like this happened. I just hope that this will not end here.

 This cute dog was a celebrity today! A lot of people took a photo of this handsome dog. I couldn't blame them tho.

 The vibe in Luneta Park was so festive! I decided to stay and wait for the dancing fountain at Rizal Park. It was my first time to watch the show and I love it. I love how colorful and lively the show was! Very relaxing to watch, actually.

If you haven't been to Rizal Park or if you haven't watched the fountain show there yet, I suggest that you schedule it already! It's fun hanging out at Rizal Park! I was there alone but I had so much watching the show and watching the people!
