^^ thanks! it's in Morong, Bataan- not very far from Subic.

^ Nice photos, laq! Is that Anvaya Cove?

^^ thanks, Sinj! yup, you got it right!

naiinis ako... hindi ko makita yung pics from flickr even the ones posted here. :cry:
ban ang flickr dito... hassle. :(

ha? ban sa dubai ang flickr? andaya naman...

Ate Lauren! Ganda! Esp the ones with beach photos. Ang ganda pala sa Anvaya cove! :okay:
SCTEX na ba yung first photo?

^^ thanks! yeah, SCTex yung first photo... 1 of the gazillion shots i took of that expressway - sobrang like ko yung view don! :okay:



@Ash, nge, no way of going around it ba?:ohno:

I don't know why... :( pareho lang naman siya ng ibang sites. I mean, if they're trying to avoid pornographic pictures then I guess they should also ban friendster/multiply/ etc... lahat naman ata meron :lol:

ate Lauren, none... that's why I didn't upgrade my flickr account to Pro anymore coz I know I can't use it here.

beautiful portrait wynn. makes me wanna cry :cry:

hala wag iiyak. pero wynn, sana may kwento. baka maiyak din ako. nice portrait!

^^Hehehe wala ako maisip na kwento na magpapaluha sa mga mata ninyo eh. Discuss ko na lang ung work flow:

- Desaturate ung photo ng konti
- Taasan ung Contrast at sharpen ang photo
- Dun sa selective color adjustment, itaas ang kulay ng skin tone (orange)
- Dun sa lightness naman i taas ang lightness ng skin tone
then babaan naman ung lightness ng ibang elements like in this
case ung yellow na shirt ni Bunso
- Tapos resize for upload then share sa net...

thanks for the workflow wynn...do you use the high pass filter to sharpen the photo?

tiningnan ko yung blog mo, langya, balak ko ring pumunta ng quiapo bukas haha!

^^hehehe I used ung clarity option sa adobe lightroom...

hehe ganun ba, last Monday un eh, we went to quiapo, escolta, fort santiago, Parade sa Grand Stand and sa baywalk. La pang time na i post process ung the rest. Quiapo pa lang natapos ko...

^^ very nice portrait, wynn! :okay:

i guess sa quiapo lang walang sekyu na magsasabing bawal mag shooting :lol: :bash:

btw, thanks for sharing your workflow @wynn :) ngayon ko lang mas naiintindihan ang CS3... will try to tinker with lightroom next ;)

^^CS3 already have an embedded lightroom for RAW file manipulation.

may CHDK hack na pala yung Canon S5 IS but i don't know if i'm gonna try it. it can make the cam shoot in RAW and it can also increase aperture and shutter speed ranges. nakaka tempt but natatakot naman ako.

^^Nyak asan po ba ikaw? China or Middle East???

UAE. :)

^^ i thought Dubai is more progressive than the rest of the Arab world... they still have strict censorship pala.



^^CS3 already have an embedded lightroom for RAW file manipulation.

yeah, meron sa CS3. i bought the 2 disc at the same time kasi 1 month ago (from my neighborhood suki ;)) coz i thought i'd need both of them. both are in my laptop na nga kaso i have not tried out lightroom coz sobrang nangapa ako dati sa CS3 :nuts:

i'm not too keen about messing around with the software unless the file is from a legit source. vaka di ko mabalik sa dati if it turns out na di sya ok - clueless pa naman ako sa mga ganyan :nuts:

Hi Ash, i don't know if this will work pero try mo na rin --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4286

It's an add-on sa Firefox browser, so you have to download and install Firefox (if you haven't yet) it's supposed to bypass the flickr.com filter in Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, China and other banned countries and places. hope it works.

i'm not too keen about messing around with the software unless the file is from a legit source. vaka di ko mabalik sa dati if it turns out na di sya ok - clueless pa naman ako sa mga ganyan :nuts:

sabi nila the software is saved naman daw in your memory card so it doesn't really mess up daw with your camera's software.

ang nakakatakot lang kasi 15 seconds lang longest Tv ng camera but with CHDK, na eextend up to 64 seconds. di kaya masisira yung shutter nun? lol. ang nakakatempt nga lang kasi it can increase Av to f/2.0 from the original f/2.7(macro mode)/ f/3.2 (wide/tele). i know there's not much difference pero i think significant na yun to give me the bokeh and DOF na gusto ko.

^^ wow, that's 4x longer. i don't think it will affect the shutter coz yung p&s ko nga may bulb setting. percentage-wise that's also a big increase in the aperture but i can't understand how the aperture can be increased by software - coz di va mechanical yun kung ano yung size nya? walang RAW sa p&s ko pero may TIFF and the file size huge. don't you have that and can't you use it instead?

JPEG lang talaga sa camera ko though. sana nga TIFF na lang. na override ng software ang normal function ng camera.

My friend got this new 17-50mm Tamron fast lens (f2.8) for 17k Pesos only against the Nikkor's 17-55mm f2.8 that cost around 60k pesos. The performance of Tamron is pretty impressive.

i like this one ^^ i like the perspective :okay:

f/2.8 zooms are heavy weights!! in price and in the literal sense :lol: i think the lightest is still over 3-1/2 lbs!! :nuts: which is why i've been leaning towards prime lenses - they're faster f/1.4 & f/1.8 and they're way lighter (sumakit nga ang shoulder ko kabibitbit ng d40x + kit lens lang ha 5 days in a row!!! :lol:). right now the 85 f/1.4 is at the top of my wish list :colgate: haaay sarap managinip :nuts: :lol:

Nice try, I also have horizontal shots of the same subject but I prefer the vertical shot, it has the illusion of more mosaic tiles on the photo.

Between these two, I prefer the more vibrant mosaic tiles on the second shot.

@jbkayaker, nice set. i like the simplicity of your composition. i too prefer the vertical version of the drinking fountain shot. that and the window shot reminds me of this book called "Everyday Masterpieces" by the director of MoMa in NY (if i remember correctly)... one of my favorite collection of photographs :okay:


@c0kelitr0, you're lucky bait ng model mo hehe! ako walang mapagpractisan ng portraiture... BF ko lang yung matyagang mag pose :lol: that's another very nice portrait btw :okay:

haha. just practicing :D sa totoo lang, i don't wanna go into that direction even if the money is actually there.

@laquacherra, hehehe. sya lang kasi makapal ang mukha magposing :D kinukulit nga nya ako minsan kunan ko raw sya na talagang naka-dress up and made-up.

jb/wynn, either way is ok with me with.as long as there's ample space occupied by the tiled walls.

coke, your friends would most likely volunteer to pose before you because they know the photos will come out nice! afterwards, ipagyayabang na nila yung mga photos nila sa iba. giving due credits to you of course. :D

I like the simplicity of things in life and with photography, less clutter the better as far as I'm concerned.

Here is a photo of a painting inside a restaurant. I did not care for the whole painting but instead I focused more on the subjects itself, the Frenchman the wines and the grapes.

If you really like night shots mag invest ka ng tripod, since exilim ang gamit mo, kahit yung mumurahin muna and yup it takes a lot of time to shoot a good night shot. May tip ako, use your elbows and arms as an improvise tripod. Ilagay mo lang sa table or something yung elbows mo then shoot and wait. Just avoid too much moving. :D

I think may pasma ata ako or something kasi nagsheshake siya kapag tinatry ko wag gumalaw. anyway, thanks for the advice.

^^^^Brace or steady your camera with whatever you can find in the area you are photographing. I do not take my tripod or monopod when I take my photos, night or day shots, too much hassle. It has been a long time since I have used it.

Inside the restaurant like the one shot above, I used a ketchup bottle to set my camera down and I gently pushed the shutter button to take the photo of the painting.

As far as the water fountain, I really did not use anything to steady my camera but patience is a plus in photography and rushing is a big NO NO.

Goodluck!

Just like to share some night shots last night. :D

The first three pictures, I have to use tungsten white balance in order to balance the seemingly over warm colors of the sodium lamps in my camera.

With regard of the first photo, I noticed the noise in the lighter section of the clouds.

maybe a lower ISO will fix that bernie. if you can adjust that on your cam. did you get a new one by the way? ISO 50 or 100 should remove unnecessary noise on night photography. composition wise: i still prefer allocating more space for the sky especially when there are interesting cloud formations (1st photo). around 1/3 for the structure/sub (2nd photo) will do. try it then let'ls see again. the last photo is a bit overexposed. but that's always the necessary compromise when trying to frame long exposure shots. when trying to take long exposure photos of lighted structures, try to set everything at min...(i.e., lowest aperture opening and lowest ISO).

hope that helps berns. interesting overall! honing na lang on composition. that's where your creativity comes in. :)

hello ash, let me guess...wala ka na sa Dubai? Kasi nakakapag post ka na ulit ng photos. hehe...or are you still there? keep clicking! :okay:

wow! love those Wimbledon shots! Sana makapanood din ako ng live match soon. by the way, you don't seem to be far off from the players (based on the depth of field of the photos). nasa front row seat ka ba?

ekspi, Marcos (chymera) is using a P&S cam and he gets splendid shots. baka naman PS (Photoshop) ang kelangan mong matutunan? :D P&S cams are not very good at night photography unless you have a brightly lit sub (e.g., HK skyline). for Makati Skyline, you need as long as 8 seconds of shutter speed para makakuha ng crisp and nice photo. praktis lang. you'll get there!

sure berns and ekspi. i enjoy night photo ops, so let's try some familiar places someday. and you need not have that bulky tripod to get cool pictures. i have one tripod, but proved to be too much for simple photo ops. so i tried finding a small one. i got a 100-peso tripod from Camerahaus (with branches in MOA and Glorietta). not as good as their bulky uncles pero the portability compensates it.

here are samples of what i got using that small tripod:

and here are some i got using no tripod at all. i had to place the cam on a sturdy solid support. hawakan mo lang maige baka dumulas derecho sa pasig river. and there's another tip to avoid blurred shots. use self-timer (5 or 10 seconds delay) when taking night shots. that makes a lot of difference and not everyone realizes this. the idea is to avoid movements of the cam when you push the shutter button.

for brightly lit subs, you need not have long exposures but you will be sacrificing some parts. in this case, facade of LKG is not too visible. but since i want to emphasize the crowns, i used 1 sec lang. :)
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3261/2613491257_b32be2d113.jpg

by the way, learning night photography is not that easy esp if you are weighed down by the cam's inherent limitations. (my cam, for one, does not have B(ulb)-setting). pero it's amazing and always enjoyable. imagine framing photos that the naked eye cannot see?

fireworks photography looks challenging but it's not as hard as you guys might think. good timing is the key here. you should be able to frame that shot just before the shell explodes. or for trailing comets, you should be able to shoot it before it leaves the barge. but worry not, not everyone (not even pros) get awesome fireworks shots. they also rely on what they get out of trial and errors.

skyline photography is easier imo because your subject is static. the element of timing comes in if you want to get well lit skyline. so for makati skyline, 6 - 8 pm is the best time to photoshoot. most towers put off their lights at around 830pm (e.g., Enterprise, LKG and around 11pm for Pacific Plaza of Global City). and for Rockwell, their building outlines only get lighted up from Nov to Feb, and every once in a while (siguro pag may special occasions).

just keep on clicking guys. we will eventually learn the stuff, basta lang willing to learn.

wow! love those Wimbledon shots! Sana makapanood din ako ng live match soon. by the way, you don't seem to be far off from the players (based on the depth of field of the photos). nasa front row seat ka ba?


nope, hindi sa front row, yong next level after front row, am using D40, maximum focus na ata yon, just trying to practice about SLR, quite very newbie actually.. :)

@ofw
Nice action shots but try to uniformly cropped your photos. It would look even better.

Magandang i-hdr ito.

^^^I like it the way it looks especially on my computer. On my computer, the background is almost black but at my work computer screen, it has a different setting so you can see a bit of the background.

I don't care much for HDR though, it tends to lose the actual shot because of the alteration. On the photo above, I like the way the sun shines on the support pillar which caught my attention.

Inde po ung 18-200mm VR lens gamit ko sa D300 ko. Masyado mahal ung 17-55mm f2.8 Lens ng Nikkor kaya iniisip ko bumili ng 50mm f1.8 na Nikkor lens para may magamit na fast lens.

Nice set wynngd! very innocent looking kids.
the effect reminds me of Mr. Parc Cruz too.

Is she a chow?

@Sinjin and Lili, yup it's a chowchow.


@Ash, nah, not sad... i think she got intimidated by the cam... i have more playful shots after that :)


@wynn, i think that's a good idea. that's what i plan to do also if ever i upgrade to a heavier body, gagamitan ko ng prime para mas magaan. ok nga yung 50mm pero mas ok yung 85mm - that's my curent fave right now... one month na sya yung mainstay sa cam ko :)

try to get use to aperture priority and shutter priority first before going manual. you'll get the hang of it pretty soon :)

I stick with Aperture mode most of the time when taking daytime shots. The shutter is automatically set for the shot with the option of being able to adjust the F Stop, with night time shots I use the Manual mode. Aperture mode at nightime is not good because ambient lighting varies, with the Manual mode you have the option to adjust both the F Stop and Shutter speed. Always look at the properties on your photos and learn from it.

Thanks for suggestion. I fired in first few shots without the tripod and came out really blurry. I was lucky enough to spot balusters around with flattened surfaces on the top where I put the camera on to hold it steady.

I just wanted to share this photo. I was able to post this a long time ago here in SSC, I just wanted to repost this, in the light of recent events.

I took this with my sumalangit nawa Sony Ericsson K700i camphone back in 2005 in Davao City. There is an option then to turn the picture into sepia mode, and so I did it.

It wasn't the expected shot that I took since its against the light and has a tendency to form a silhouette...But the color, the motion and the background has exuded something extraordinary for me, as if a message is being relayed.

@Icarus
Nice vacation spot. Someday I would like to visit the area.

A couple of days ago, my friend and I drove to Mt. Charleston to get away from the oppressive heat in the valley. Glad it was only less than an hour drive from home. Nice, cool and raining.:)

I like what I do and it shows on my work, thanks. Photography and hiking a good combination. Sadly with photobucket, when photos are resized it loses its sharpness.
These were taken a couple of days ago, I love the B&W, the original photo was definitely sharper than the one I'm posting here. The color photo lost a bit of sharpness but still came out sharper than the B&W.

“My City, My Pride” Photo Contest Is On (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1368)
by Ian A. Fuentes/ City Information Office

A photo contest that will capture the soul of Cagayan de Oro and portray the city as a bustling and modern metropolis is now opened to all amateur and professional photographers.

The photo contest, dubbed as “My City, My Pride”, will basically focus on places and events in Cagayan de Oro City as captured by the photographers using either film or digital cameras, Organizer and Acting City Tourism and Cultural Affairs Officer Imma Rae D. Gatuslao said. Top three winners in both Category A (Places) and Category B (Events) will receive a cash prize of P15,000 for the grand prize; P10,000 for the second prize and P7,500 for the third prize, Gatuslao revealed, adding that a consolation prize of P1,000 will be given to two entries per category. Each photographer can submit a maximum of five entries per category or a total of 10 pictures (in jpeg format) on or before 5 p.m. on September 29, 2008 at the City Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office, City Hall, Cagayan de Oro City. Entries shall be in 8x12 inches in size, without borders, and must be frame-mounted on an illustration board. It should have no distinguishing marks like watermark name or signature, except writing the photographer’s name at the back of the illustration board. Digital entries are required to submit the original, unedited file of each photograph, along with the edited version of the images to be saved in a compact disc (CD) while entries taken with film shall also submit negatives. Each photo entry, including CD and/or negative, shall be placed in a tape-sealed brown envelope with the photographer’s name and his landline phone or cellular number written outside the envelope.

The prints and the CD’s submitted shall become the property of the organizer. Copyright, however, is retained by the photographer. The photos will be displayed for a week in an exhibit hall in the city. Entries will be judged based on the following criteria: composition (40%), clarity (30%) and relevance to the theme (30%). Awarding ceremony is set on October 3, 2008.

^^ nice work Bernie. ano nga palang software ang gamit mo? pano mo nagawa na yung isang part may color?

can you pls post your camera specs?

^^ I only used an Olympus Mu800 point and shoot camera.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 ang gamit ko...

I think the technique in isolating one coloured object and making the rest of the background in b&w (selective colouring) was discussed in the Photoshop Techniques thread. Try to check it out there, I think its in the first few pages of the said thread.

^^ thanks

I downloaded a trial version of Photomatix. Just wanna try how HDR works. Here are the samples I made. aarrgh those damn watermarks :bash:

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2166/dsc0217tonemappedut3.jpg

^ Nice JM! Ano ang procedure mo? Did you take 3 differently exposed photos?

^^ thanks

yup. 3 different exposures ang kelangan. pero pag wala ka namang 3 shots, pwede ka mag lagay ng 3 parehong pics na pareho din ang exposure. Photomatix na bahala mag adjust para magkaiba ang exposure nung 3 pics. parang ang gulo. hehehe

may HDR software ka ba? anong gamit mo? ang mahal kasi ng photomatix. pagiipunan ko pa. haha

eto pa isa ginawa ko. Di pa siya mukang maganda. I bet if I try the complete version, mas marami pang enhancements ang magagawa

^^ hehehe! so far i can't take self portraits without the camera practically covering my face. i still haven't figured out how to successfully focus & shoot in program mode without looking through the viewfinder :)

Lauren,
I know what you mean. It took me forever just to come up with a good self portrait. Sometimes "tsamba" lang. Like that one I posted, I did some photoshop manipulation for the B&W effect and for noise reduction. :D That one is like a stolen shot of me! haha

By the way...
That's one sexy spider you got! look at the legsss...
nice macro!

^^ camera settings po? :D ganda

^^ very nice silhouette! it looks so quiet and open you wouldn't think it's in the middle of a busy place like Quiapo.

Speaking of Quiapo, I've been having second thoughts in buying a second hand dSLR. Which is more practical or sulit? For one, I don't have that big amount of resources and number two, I am also for the quality of the camera and its shots.

^^ i'm only familiar with Nikon. a reasonably priced good condition secondhand D80 would be a good choice IMHO. The D200 will be a better choice but it's gonna cost more than a D80. A secondhand D40, D40x or D60 will surely cost less than a D80 but you'll be limited to use the more expensive AF-S lenses.

also, i suggest you check out the prices of brand new units of the D80 and D200 because i'm pretty sure they've gone down since newer models have been released.

nice shot.galing!
