A photoshop trick

I was looking at one of my picture i took during my trip to ilocos and tried to make something out of it. While checking it on photoshop I saw that the histogram tells that there are no clipped shadows or highlights (Those excess graph on the left most or right most), which means that i can just use the levels to brighten it up a little. So sitting on it for a few minutes and after adding some more layers, I got this.

Stripping On Aliwan =)

I'm checking some picts I shot during the Aliwan festival 2008 last night and decided to crop some Images... =) I dont know what to do with some so I tried Stripping =)

But then problem is, when I tried to view the pictures on CRT monitors the pictures look soft and dull =(, Now I'm trying to look for a way to at least make my pictures look the same on Crts and Lcds

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...
