Chinese Cementery 04/05/09

after ng Binondo Trip..
kasama ulit with my tito and tita na galing sa states..
and also my dad, another tita, and pinsan
diretso naman sa Chinese Cementery to visit my angkong(lolo)

hindi rin kasi ako nakadalaw last Nov
so sumama na rin ako..

pagdating namin dun parang lahat kami tumaas balahibo..
baka natuwa "daw" kasi for a long time ngaun lang daw ulit nakabisita yung tita ko.. tapos sabi niya siya daw kasi favorite na anak sa kanilang magkakapatid...

as usual photography session na naman..hehe..

Binondo Trip 04/05/09

kakauwi lang that time ng tita at tito ko from the states..
siguro more than 10 years na sila hindi nakakabalik dito sa Pinas..
it was a Sunday also and hindi na rin kami nagchurch for that day sa church namin
so sinamahan namin sila with my mom around Binondo..

actually, dito na sila lumaki ng mom ko sa Binondo, dapat nga sa bahay namin sila matutulog kaso dahil maingay, dun sila nagstay sa may Binondo Suites sa me Ongpin.

from there, went to Binondo Church.. were it is also a Palm Sunday..
then namili ng kung ano ano..
punta sa bahay namin for lunch..
then balik ulit shopping sa me eng bee tin..
grabe, adik sila sa hopia ng eng beetin.. kakaorder lang ata nila ng more than 10 boxes ng hopia lang.. *1box=12 packs && 1pack==4 -8 pieces ata @_@

Alay-Lakad Phototripping Part 2 04/04/09

dahil hindi na natuloy yung supposedly phototrip ko from lasalle back to my house the other day.. ginawa ko siya kinabukasan..

i really didn't plan it, super biglaan lang..
got out from lasalle mga 5:30pm and diretso sa may Harbour Square sa me CCP to take Manila Bay sunset shots..
again LAKAD lang..

now with the knowledge of what METERING is, tinry ko siya dun.. and BUWISIT, halos lahat ata ng shot ko nearly perfect na.. @_@ kung nalaman ko lang talaga yun from the very beginning edi ang ayos na sana lahat ng shot ko... ngaun ko lang din naintindihan yung sinasabi ni ricco kung pano yung silhouette shot..

from there lakad sa me baywalk sa roxas boulevard hangang maggabi na..
then i saw this group of astronomers sa me Raja Solayman..
thank you sobra sa kanila, i got a shot of the moon using one of their telescope..and super ASTIG niya.. woohoo!!!

they're the Astronomical League of the Philippines.. http://www.astroleaguephils.org
its the International Year of Astronomy kasi so they're conducting this free observation activity for the people in Baywalk.

dahil natuwa din ako, meron sila libreng advertisement sa blog ko..
they're selling telescope kasi and kala ko mahal siya meron pala worth P1,600 lang and a P3,000 worth of telescope.. maliit lang siya actually..
*i think mura naman siya, if you want to i have a brochure of that.. :)


anyway, i check their website and lol.. nandun ako..

"A student tries afocal imaging at the telescope with his DSLR on the Moon"

and here's my shot of the moon using their telescope..


after sa kanila took shots of the Raja Solayman fountain, then lakad ulit to Rizal Park, kung saan sakto naubusan na ako ng battery..

medyo gabi na that time, kung maglalakad pa ako baka ano na mangyari sa akin, so from Rizal Park walk to Maria Orosa St., then took a jeep going to Divisoria, and i ended up walking 5.4 KILOMETERS from Lasalle to Rizal Park!!!

it was fulfilling day talaga..
ngaun araw ko pa lang nafeel yung PROFESSIONAL photography sa totoo lang..
andoy's PROFESSIONAL photography.. pwede na.. hahaha.. jokes..
pero still needs to practice more.. marami pa rin ako hindi alam

here are some of my shots..

COSCA Volunteers GA 04/04/09

Yuchengco HDR

ito yung sinasabi ko sa last album ko na inexperiment ko with yuchengco..
HDR means High Dynamic Range (*search it sa google na lang.. lol)
it supposed to be a high resolution image..

it is edited using an HDR software..
kaso i really dont know how to use it..
so i ended up with that setting, which looks like a painting.. @_@
di ko alam if i made it right, pero alam ko its wrong..
