Awake for 2 days

Last Saturday I went to office to render Overtime because we have to install a new system on our AS400 Machine. While waiting for my part i borrowed a USB thumb Drive from one of my colleague because i have to copy some files, Luckily it was infested with a virus that my Norton cannot def fend, and my laptop now needs hospitalization =(.

We continued working and another problem arrised, We have some issues regarding the system which forced us to be wake until the following day, luckily, 4 pm of sunday we are finished.

Last night I'm done fixing my laptop and a while ago I'm back to my photoshop business. Here's the first Image i Edited applying the effect I tried during my last Post, Semi Black and White.

I took this picture during my last day at the FPPF workshop, It was lunch time and I saw this girl asking for some penny, and what I did was took a close up picture of her. =)

Trying Semi Black And White

Last night, I with some of my classmates from FPPF attended a meeting of LIKHA photography club, the members are friendly and they even let us judge their photos because they have to select the pictures they need to submit for the FPPF monthly Photo Contest.

Before sleeping I try to Post Process a picture, and my product......

Looking Back

Last Holy Week I went home to my Home Town and we went to the beach, Sta Ana Cagayan. As a photography Hobbyist, I will not let a day past, specially a vacation like this, without taking any picture.


It's only today that I have looked back at my shots and have some time Processing them. I am glad that i have filtered some usable picts. =) because back then I was Trigger Happy and my ratio for good to bad shots is like 50 is to 10 hehehe...

Lighting E.B. at AdPhoto Studio

Last saturday after the manila zoo event, I went to AdPhoto at Enriquez st Makati, sir John Chua's Studio. A friend of sir john, Jessie Pastor with partner J.A. Tadena, both from BlowUpBabies shared some basic lighting lessons.

After some discussions we practice shooting and guess what, It's not that easy. You have to put the theme of the shoot in mind while directing the models. I'm lucky because some of my companions, fellow PiPho Members(Htt://PinoyPhotography.Org) knows some basic stuff.

The whole session was fun and of course, my corney jokes will always be there....

So next stop, the advanced photography course at FPPF maybe this coming May, There are still a lot of things to learn and I have to atleast step forward everyday....

Here are some of my Shots...
