You don't need to have the most advanced SLR to take good pictures. A good eye is always better than a good camera.

Show your photos and share your tips especially for beginners like me! :)

Post away folks! :colgate:

^ i agree. but there are point and shoot cameras where you can choose 'scenes' like sepia, negative, etc. i think it's okay. let's just tell if we did some image enhancements. :)

I should probably crop the photo since I want those two girls to be the focus... Any suggestion guys?

kiretoce
January 15th, 2009, 09:14 AM
^^ The eyes automatically zero in on the structure in the background before you even notice the two girls in the foreground. And the contrast between light and dark is very pronounced in the V-shaped event horizon which draws your sight to its inverted apex first.

About my Lady Liberty photos; that was taken in October 2008 (Autumn). The conditions were sunny yet windy, plus the seaspray from the water added to the effect.

Hehe. Thanks. Was just walking in the uni going to the ATM when I chanced upon this fantasy-like nook by the stream. Lucky I always bring my handy old digi hehe (I actually wished I had an SLR) . I don't think I can take the credit though. You could point and shoot anywhere and the shots would still be great. I was just there witnessing nature at its vainest moment hehe.

Binondo to see what's up in there.
It was crazy! There were firecrackers

From point and shoot to almost dSLR photo

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3230134943_e5fe76ae32.jpg?v=0

Remember that point and shoot cameras doesn't have the lens and shutter speed zoom thingy...

This photo was taken from my Olympus Mu-800 and with a bit tweaking with Photoshop...that's the finish product.

To be honest, I was quite insecure during the coverage since I get intimidated with the cameras they are using in the coverage...high powered dSLRs.

Bernie mentioned it has become historical because when the late Pope John Paul II went to Iloilo in 1981, he crowned the image on the platform/canopy via that stairway.

Even though if heritage conservation purists want to have it removed but since it is stipulated in one of the three schools of heritage conservation thought that anything that has a significance in the society or historical value, despite the change, would be considered as part of the church.

In 1981, Pope John Paul II personally crowned the Virgin of Candelaria and said mass in the platform and stepped on the very stairways...now considered "holy" by the Archdiocese.

A lot of factors have also been considered...especially the Salognons (Jaroeños) mentioned that the lady herself chose the said area of platform...

One major argument of the priests (which I know it applies althroughout the islands) is that churches here in the Philippines are "living" unlike their "dead" counterparts in Europe...

^^ i agree, low light is indeed a challenge esp for p&s but overcast skies can be great because colors won't get washed out the way they do during mid day when the sun is bright.

manileño
February 3rd, 2009, 03:31 PM
another challenge with p&s is to keep still. both the device and the subject while taking a picture. this pic for instance struggled with the focus as both the subject and the camera (or the one taking it, in this case me!) were in motion hehe. the low lighting may have contributed to the motion blur as well. but anyway this stuff is basic. hehe! i still liked the result nonetheless..

Actually, one of the things I'm practicing or experimenting in P&S photography is the subject itself is clear yet there is motion blur in the background...something that most dSLR photography attain during low lighting conditions.

^^ Hmm....red brick facades are rare in Philippine architecture, right? That actually reminds me of old campus churches in the northeastern US, especially in Ivy League universities.

habagatcentral1
February 8th, 2009, 05:15 AM
^^ I think not. Because I think some Ilocos Spanish colonial churches have red brick facades too...In Iloilo, mostly its limestone or coralstone. The only red brick churches are at Pavia and Cabatuan while the one at Dumangas is mixed.

By the way, that facade was nearing collapse a few years back, that is why the parish priest ordered the restoration of the said church facade not only for safety but also for aesthetic purposes as well.

icarusrising
February 8th, 2009, 05:28 AM
^^ I know that facades usually mean the front of a building but sometimes the sides too. Just for clarification, it wasn't taken from the front, my friend. It was taken from the side near where the late Mr. Bernardo Arellano lies. And you know I'm not referring to you... :)

@ XP: there are budget ways to get there and enjoy the place. Try mo sa CebuPac or econolight fares ng PAL. There are certain days when it's cheaper. Also if you're traveling as a group there's a package for that too. It's usually more affordable to travel in groups because you can share in the expenses. Our room was good for six and we paid around 2,500 per night so mga 500 per night lang sa amin yun kasi 5 kami. Kapag sa airport kayo nakipagdeal, mas mahal pero kapag lumabas kayu ng kaunti at magtraysikel sa bayan ng Kalibo para dun kumuha ng magbyabyahe papuntang Caticlan, kalahati matitipid ninyo sa pamasahe. Ginto ang presyo ng mga pagkain sa beach pero you can buy things for a song at the grocery and talipapa. Siyempre gigimick din kayu sa mga hangouts along the beach pero me mga pagkakataon na pwede ring bili na lang kayu sa grocery at enjoy ninyo sa room ninyo sa resort. Sa mga sulok-sulok, meron ding mga kainan na presyong carinderia. Syempre yung mga naninirahan dun di rin naman nila kayang gumastos nang parang sa turista. Ask for quotations from different sources and compare rates. Clarify what is inclusive in the deal. Halimbawa for island hopping and snorkeling- ilang oras? kasama na ba dun sa bayad ang snorkels? entrance fees? etc.

Para di ako OT, post na rin ako...

February 24th, 2009, 11:53 AM

he he i think that
panning was the best
solution to the problem
of

1. me refusing to use higher
ISO because the cam's sensor
is not as good as a DSLR's
2. the terrible lighting leaving
me with no choice but
to use a slow shutter speed on
fast moving subjects.

;)

next time, i'll try panning. what shutter speed did you use @ anakngpasig? we were told to use 1/15sec in photo class.

i settled for the less mobile subjects:

You'd be surprised. When I was there, kids were so camera aware (the beginnings of camwhoring). They would actually ask you to take photos of them not for money but just for the sake of having their photos taken. I was amazed and amused.
