Become a BETTER Photographer

2011-08-30T06:19:00.001+08:00

More and more people are getting into photography (chances are you’re one of those).

With the breakneck speed of technology’s advancement cameras and their corresponding equipment are becoming more and more accessible whether it’s a DSLR, a point and shoot, or maybe just a camera phone. Just because you have the equipment however doesn’t immediately mean that you know how to take great pictures.

More and more, I see people lugging huge high tech DSLRs around their necks and snapping pics left and right only to find that they can’t take a decent photograph to save their life.

The proverb “it’s the injun, not the arrow” has never been truer in this regard.

Whether you’re a professional or a beginner photographer you can do with a few more tips and tricks to level up your photography skills.

Tim Kainu offers FREE photography tips, post-processing techniques, and visual effects. His site provides an excellent source of knowledge for photographers whether you’re an aspiring photographer or a seasoned pro.

November KOMIKERO Meeting

2009-11-09T07:22:00.001+08:00

The Komikeros had a special meeting yesterday, November 8, 2009 Sunday for a planning session for the upcoming San Pablo Comics Festival which is happening on December 6, 2009 Sunday.

Click here for more details.

I didn't get to take as much pictures as I wanted however and I only got this handful of shots.

After the meeting, beside Sampalok Lake. From L-R: Gerry, Johnny, Geoff, and Kevin.

Raipo!

After several failed attempts, I finally managed to include myself in the shot.

Candid shot and Gerry caught unawares.

Walking About

2009-02-23T19:29:00.004+08:00

Gerry, Johnny, and I decided to take a walk about tour of Manila
last Saturday along with Gerry's brother Noel who was kind
enough to show us a few choice spots of the old city.

From left to right: Noel, Johnny, Gerry, and myself.

I took a LOT of photos and I'm going to be posting them here as
well in my other blogs in the coming days. I hope you enjoy them.

Ball Caps

2009-02-20T21:39:00.002+08:00

My three ballcaps and I love them all!

The cap you will most probably see me wearing at
any given time is the one with The Riddler on.

From the designs, I think it's obvious that I like comic books!

Rally!

2009-02-19T00:25:00.002+08:00

I was walking home from a meeting when I chanced upon a rally in progress.

UNTV reporters interviewing one of the rally leaders.

The rally was conducted with limited fanfare as possible and in an
orderly fashion...which doesn't make it sound like a rally at all!

Apparently, the rallyists are farmers clamoring for the
redistribution of Land... the Arroyo's, to be more specific!

Most of them had shirts wrapped around their heads to protect their identities.

Looking back at the rallies I attended in my youth, there
doesn't seem to be any difference between then and now.

Cam-whoring at the PHSA

2009-02-11T06:17:00.005+08:00

The Komikeros was invited to give a series of lectures at the Philippine
High School for the Arts (PHSA) yesterday, February 10, 2009.

We arrived about an hour early and what did we do? We cam-whored.

Taken from the ruins of the old cafeteria.

Doing the emo thing...

Defying gravity!

Enjoying the sight and sound of nature.

Chicken Style!

2009-02-07T17:32:00.003+08:00

This kinda made me wonder about chicken style.

Sounds like some sort of Martial Art technique.

Cow and Chicken Sex Scandal

2009-02-04T00:35:00.005+08:00

The sex scandal of the year!

Cow and Chicken, on it like there's no tomorrow!

Um! Buhay ka pa!

And it all happened in Gerry's place.

Red Helmet

2009-01-27T08:09:00.002+08:00

Took a snapshot of my reflection on one of the new Komikero's
helmet (I'm not so sure my reflection's clear enough however).

The red was certainly striking enough, sure to catch your attention.

Writing on the Wall

2009-01-26T18:58:00.003+08:00

I love the crudely written messages one finds on various surfaces.

"I will always love you until I die."

There's a name that comes after but it was scratched out.

"Hindi pa puwedeng sa Taiwan na lang. Bakit sa Canada pa?"

I wonder what kind of story is behind this one?

Character

2009-01-21T13:25:00.002+08:00

Some pics I took during the walk about in Quiapo. There's a
lot of urban decay evident everywhere you look but there's
a certain quality of beauty inherent in the the cityscape.

Not as sleek and modern as the buildings of Makati but I still find it charming.

One can find beauty everywhere if you look hard enough.

If there's one thing this place has, it's character.

Stairs and Hallways

San Pablo Cocofest!

2009-01-14T18:55:00.008+08:00

Pictures from the 2009 San Pablo Cocofest!

One of the competing street dancers representing their school.

The effort and preparation definitely paid off for this group.

I'm not sure if they won but they certainly bowled me over!

It was a very colorful festival.

It was definitely worth the trip (about two hours away from Makati City sans traffic).

The overcast sky actually helped a lot in making the
colorful costumes the children were wearing pop-out!

The streets were also similarly decorated.

I'm thinking that the whole festival must've cost a fortune!

I for one, however, felt it was worth it.

One pleasant surprise was finding that Sol Aragones was hosting the
street dancing competition. We both studied DevCom at UPLB. I think
she even used my thesis as one of her references in her own research.

Trying to get to her amidst the mass of humanity watching the festival was
nigh impossible though. I'll just have to catch up with her some other day.

That's Sol Aragones of ABS-CBN onstage together with the various celebrity judges.

The party didn't end there however. As soon as night fell there were more
in store for everyone aside from drinking booze and getting smashed (which
we also did, of course). Take this body building competition for example...

You gotta admire these guys' tenacity...dresses in nothing
but bikini briefs on one of the coldest night of the year!

Various bands playing at different streets just blocks away from each other.

What is Condron?

2009-01-14T07:54:00.001+08:00

Got this from Jungzx.

Apparently it's a blog surfing website according to the information section. Sort of like channel surfing but for blogs.

If a blog surfer finds a blog that interests them they can stop and read it or bookmark it for future reading.

Condron.us provides bloggers with free exposure to large groups of potential readers by pulling recently updated blogs at random from wordpress and blogspot.

"It’s an interesting site that flips through recently updated WordPress and Blogger blogs in the same fashion that I flip through 200 cable channels. It displays a blog for a few seconds - just long enough to let you decide if it might be worth reading and then it flips on to the next blog."

Videoke at Greenhills

2009-01-04T08:35:00.004+08:00

Elbert called for a videoke session after the signing at Comic Odyssey
and thus we found ourselves after the event at Greenhills.

Marcelle singing his heart out with Charles at the
background trying not to break into...laughter.

Johann's turn this time and Charles unable to contain himself any longer.

It was an intimate night with friends. Good times!

Sunsets (or sunrises), that is.

They never fail to inspire me.

I never get tired of taking pictures of them.

Blurry Office

2008-12-30T22:31:00.003+08:00

Taken from the reception area of one of my client's office.

They got a really swanky outfit with clean industrial design for their interior decor.

I decided to snap a pic one day while waiting for a meeting.

I got bumped accidentally by a passing employee as I was taking the photo but I like how it turned out nonetheless.

Christmas in UPLB

2008-12-22T06:27:00.005+08:00

Headed to UPLB on a whim after the 2008 Komikero Christmas Party and snapped a few pics!

The giant Christmas tree in front of the Administration Building.

The main crowd drawer definitely was the belen up front.

With the parol above it, it does provide a dramatic recreation of the birth of Christ.

A little something to make you think. Can you spot the difference?

I missed UPLB.

Photos from the Fully Booked event at their Bonifacio High Street branch.

We were treated to a tour of their impressive store.

Not only was there a lot of books...

But there were certainly a lot of ground to cover!

As you can it was a virtual sea of books just begging to be read.

So many books...not enough time.

Best of all we were given free books!

Bug

I took this picture of a bug on the glass doors at my favorite Mongolian take out place.

I was sitting beside the glass while waiting for my order when I noticed this little fellow just hanging around without a care in the world.

I carefully went for my camera phone hoping I won't scare it away.

White Rock at Subic

I'm wiped out especially after partying the whole of Saturday with at least 140 people in White Rock over at Subic. Managed to snap a few pics before succumbing to the call of the sand and the water though.

Makulay!

Magnificent sunset!

Once again...

Rainbow

I was afraid my camera phone wouldn't be able to catch the rainbow but it turned out OK. I had to adjust the levels a bit in Photoshop to really bring the rainbow to the fore though.
