Shooting

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I am really excited for this weekend.  I promised myself earlier this week that I’ll go out this Saturday, take my Nathan with me and just walk around my neighborhood… probably up to the harbour and of course take pictures. 

It will be less than a month from now that my very first gig as a (professional…ehem… hahaha!) photographer will transpire.  I am uberly thrilled.  And as of now, I am thinking of poses and places where to shoot.  I just hope my models would be very cooperative, as I think the results of the pictures would greatly depend on how "game" they are.

When I was still using my dead Canon P&S (may he rest in peace… sorry I even forgot to give him a name), I had the chance to take some interesting pictures, which closely resemble pre-nup poses.  Who would’ve thought that I would end up really doing the real thing.  Here are some of them (with my comments).

This photo was taken from Bedloe’s Island (where Lady Liberty is) and the view at the back is Manhattan.  This is my very first attempt to take a "pre-nup" picture.  It was not really intended, bigla ko lang naisip that time na kunan sila ng ganyan.  By the way, mag-asawa na po sila.  Hehehe… At bago ko nakuha ang shot na yan, sobrang tawa sila ng tawa.  At ayaw na nilang ilapit pa ang mga mukha nila at ayaw din nila ng medyo pa-tweetums.  Hehehe…  Malakas lang talaga ako at di nila matanggihan.  Hehehe…

Hindi ko sila kilala… Hahaha!  At hindi ko rin alam kung lovers ba sila or magkapatid.  Hehehe… I just love taking pics of people… discreetly.  Minsan kasi, sa mga unguarded moments mo nakukuha ang true emotions.  Tulad na lang nitong next picture…

You have probably seen this photo in my other posts here.  Bumisita sila dito last Holy Week.  At kung bakit ganyan ang reaksyon nila, kayo na lang mag-isip ng dahilan.  Hehehe… Eto pa ang isa sa mga gusto kong pic nila.

Sabi ko eh kunwari nagagalit si Sisley kay Jun.  Kaya lang parang iba ang emotion na ibinigay nila no?  Pero okay lang, maganda naman kinalabasan eh.  Both pictures pala were taken at Sydney’s Royal Botanical Garden.  (Ewan ko kung anong royal sa garden na yun, mahilig lang sila sa ganun, kahit mga ospital nila may Royal palagi.  Hehehe).

Oh, I forgot!  I haven’t written here the reason I named my camera as Nathan Will do that some other time na lang.  Hopefully, weather will really be good tomorrow.  I’ll surely post pictures here.  And I might do a bit of cleaning and sorting out, so you guys can take a peek at my flat as well. =)

Meet Nathan

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

I haven’t been taking pictures lately.  My Canon camera kasi is already dead and the Sony one which I bought on sale was terrible

I have been contemplating for the past several months if I will buy a new point and shoort or just move up to an SLR.  My friends who have been very encouraging wants me to buy an SLR.  They say I have the "eye".  Hahaha!    They don’t know that it’s all in the camera.  Hehehe.  So yeah, I’ve been doing some "me" time with lots of brochures and the internet finding the perfect camera.  I wanted something affordable, yet can be at par with the big named Nikon and Canon.  I asked around in the office, as there are several people there who are also into photography.

And yesterday, while shopping with Ryan, I finally bought my new buddy.  I would like to introduce all of you to Nathan, my Pentax K200D camera! 

                  

Why the name Nathan?  I need to have another blog for that.  Anyway, I tried it already even without reading the manual, you know just tinker around.  And here are some of my sample shots.

                  

Close-up shot.  Clear naman ang shot niya.

Clear pa rin ang shot kahit malayo.  Preview ng bahay ko.

View from the rooftop.  Medyo baliko nga lang. 

Night view.  Medyo blurred,  Dapat naka-tripod eh.

Closer view.

Hope to have more "shooting" days with my Pentax camera, Nathan.
