Catching Up!

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Ohoi! After the black and white self-portrait, it seems like haven’t got the chance to update what’s next for week 2 of my photo challenge. tsk! Been quite busy a lot lately; I need to finish everything this week and next week so that I can have a peaceful vacation back to my home province Cebu. Just how I really miss everything about this paradise like island. (just don’t mind the city! :P ). Looking forward to seeing good old friends and classmates and just today a primary school teacher asked me to visit out school when I get home, and woot! looking forward to it. ;)

So what now?! (think!) I am quite excited to see my nephews getting big and will definitely cuddle them each day during my stay in Cebu. Hmm..I don’t have actually in mind what to do today, except that I am going to finish something and I am here writing random words. Just to remind myself, this is not 750words.com). Let me just update you on what’s previously and what’s to do next. I think that would be great.

Previous:

I went out of town last 27th of August with my ex-room mate together with her current housemates and friends, to Bintan Resorts. Ah! A great way to spend weekend at the beach. This is a not so expensive trip as I am with accounting peeps and yeah the difference is that they tend to compute their expenses, unlike us IT peeps just spend however we want to; it’s not like have bigger salary it’s just that we don’t mind spending as long as we are enjoying it, in the end the purpose of having a vacation is to enjoy and forget the busy world, right?! I mean we worked so hard and might as well spend hard, sometimes! (not actually my motto but sometimes I do believe in that :P  ).

{Photo Project} Day 4: B & W Self – Portrait

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Day 4. I honestly learn something everyday of this photo project and I hope Era also has learned something. Everyday, it challenges me to think of how to make use of my room (hahahaha!). Anyways, I’m going to tell later how or what I have learned tonight. :) I’m not going to be able to put some tutorial for now but I hope one day I can. hehehe!

Here’s my 4th day black and white self-portrait. Looking forward to Era’s entry. I will update this post as soon as I got Era’s link on her entry. ;)

Ok, I’m going to give tutorial on how I did for my today’s entry. You don’t need to have those expensive flashes (I’m not a fan of flash :P ) and other expensive equipments for you to have this result. :) I realized it’s a good idea to post some tutorials from time to time, so I won’t tend to forget how I did to get that result. :)

I hope Era won’t mind I do a lot of post processing.. hehehe…

For now while I am still planning how to do the tutorial, let me share an interesting article for you to read. :) It’s all about the truth about manipulating photos, for you to further understand why digital photographers do as such nowadays. Here’s the link All Photos Are Manipulated.

Enjoy! Tomorrow is TGIF. ;)

{Photo Project} Day 3: B & W Self-Portrait

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Hello, hello! It’s the third day of our photo challenge, obviously (*chuckle*).  While browsing at the pictures I took earlier, I was kind of looking forward on what would be Era’s idea on next theme; hahahaha! we’re still on the 3rd day and I’m thinking of next weeks. :P I think it’s good though, I have something to look forward to, than get bored. :P

Here’s my 3rd day photo project.

Now and then it’s good to pause in

{Photo Project} Day 1: B&W Self-Portrait

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Howdy! {Android} Black and White is still up, in fact I have lot’s of pictures to post from my mobile phone. It’s just that I’m quite excited to my first photo project with my friend Era. If anyone interested to join us, do so you are most welcome. ;)

Anyways, here are our rules.

1. One theme per week and each of the participants get to decide what theme would that be (and I am the first one to choose! hehe). So that would be 7 photos, ayt!?!

2. Links to your post will be shared among us either using Tumblr, Flickr or in your blog (e.g: Blogger). Should have the information like ISO, F number, etc. EXIF data in short. :)

3. For penalty of not having an entry for a day, I’ll have to ask Era first. LOL! Any suggestions?
