I love shooting with natural lighting. :) 1/60, F3.5 at ISO800 Hand held Light coming from the spotlight on the floor.

My new favorite model. Depth, colors, catchlights in the eye. This is a very good learning tool. 1/125, F8, ISO100 Shot inside a DIY mini studio Felt paper background Flash triggered remotely cam left White paper as reflector on cam left Canon 10th year anniversary mug. I won this during the raffle at the Canon Photomarathon. Where's the red ring? :D 1/125, F8, ISO100 Shot inside a DIY mini studio Felt paper background Flash triggered remotely cam right White paper as reflector on cam left

It was a tiring day but fun. About 350 photographers scattered around the Makati business district in the Philippines trying to catch a moment, painted in our imagination, trying to depict the themed assignments given to us. Even though we have a permit to shoot at the vicinity, we were still harassed by the guards while trying to get some photographs. A note to the guards and enforcers: A camera is not a threat to national security. Publicly visible cameras are a proven deterrent to crime. However, public safety can be threatened when security personnel harass photographers instead of doing their jobs. (quote by: Curtis N) Sky scrapers and gadgets Gimik, hangout and coffee

Nikon Zealots: Get the nikon D50 instead of the canon 350D, "It feels better in your hands cause it's bigger." Nikon: (came out with the D40 which is about the same size as the Canon 400D i.e. small!) Nikon Zealots: You don't need more megapixels, it will only introduce noise (D40 is only 6MP) Nikon: (came out with the D40X which is 10MP!) Nikon Zealots: You don't need full frame digital camera. Nikon: (came out with with the D3 which is full frame!) So the next time these guys tries to justify a lack of feature, you know that it simply means the brand lacks the feature.

Beware of gear lust! When I get hooked into something, I always strive to be better than average. I always put in extra effort. And if it's not enough to be better, I compensate with better gear. Unfortunately, extra gear means money. And right now, I'm tight on budget. I couldn't sleep knowing the fact that I need extra money to get better lens for my dSLR. I'm not even thinking of the brand name pro grade lens, I'm just looking at the 3rd party alternatives. Everytime I pass by the camera shops, I just drool over the lenses on display. So if you're not ready to throw down at least a hundred thousand pesos on gear, don't buy a dSLR. Because, you'll surely want that upgrade. Must resist!
