I've been attacked by a mysterious cat in one of my photo sessions. Not once but TWICE!

Maybe this cat was once a model in it's previous life. (^_^)

Oh well, just wanted to share this. hahaha

2 weeks has gone by and here i am still shooting immovable objects. IF only there were young high school or college people wanting to have xdeals that would be great! Dream on sam not in DUBAI. Anyway, i have never enjoyed shooting landscapes because there's just no interaction compared with shooting people.

What else has been happening...

oh yeah been thinking of a website that could host my folio...

Got the critique back from NYI for my photos.
Things to remember, do not rely too much on PP (no more ACTIONS for me)
Photography = TALENT , PP = TECHNIQUE
Concentrate on one thing at a time. So start with PHOTOGRAPHY.
Less on shooting 2.8 or lower to get more focused subjects.
Portraits = EYES!

Need to finish two more projects. 1 LAndscape. 2 pix of 3 or more peeps.

here are the shots taken under the bridge. no photoshop!

only one pix was converted to monochrome and the rest are in camera adjustments. Even though i was bored (with landscapes), i still enjoy pressing the shutter! I guess I'm a monkey pressing button after all... hehehe

Shot details for the bridge:
f10 30 seconds
CPL to cut glare(a little) and light too!
Optimized image: MORE VIVID
long exp. NR = ON
ISO 100
D80 kit lens 18-135 lens at 18 mm.
and...... TRIPOD!

I am to leave for Dubai tomorrow at 5:50. As of now, here i am looking at all the photos i've taken for the past 2 weeks here in the Philippines. I have filled up almost 10 gb of hard drive space consisting of all raw images of just 6 photo opportunities. Good thing i've got a 500 external hard drive space to back em up or else my Laptop will work very poorly because of pictures eating up the free space.

This photo is one of the best photos I've taken during this vacation. YES I've printed a 10x12 copy of it just to show people how beautiful this photo is(Thanks to gorgeous KEI)!

Hope to work with you again in the future KEI!

Details for the shot:
