Photo Session at the Park

Good sunny tuesday morning at home and we are preparing to watch some of the new movies I downloaded (tnx utorrent..)... The "chippy" and "coke" are already served and then suddenly, the uninvited 'brownout' strikes again...

Due to my kids’ frustration, I have no choice but to take them to the park and have some cool fresh air…

I used the Photoshop application in these photos.  I tried the layering and Orton effects that are based on the link int the course site...

Fire Drill Photos

Sunday morning and I am suppose to go to Makiling Botanic Garden to have a photo session but my work required me to go to the office to finish some important reports. Disregarding my "trankaso", i immediately rush to the office with my daily time record and digital camera... and during break, I caught this senior employees trying the old fire extinguisher for inspection. I setup my camera to snap on moving objects and these are the results...

Lipa City Road Shots

I am trying to capture the best shot for the main road of Lipa City.  I find myself here at the ayala avenue in front of SM lipa.  I tried different settings of my camera (sony cybershot dsc-w180).  From the preset landscape to the manual settings of iso and different exposure settings…
