Lighting... DSLR... Click!

(note: 5th photography blog post...)

How does it feel to take all the action? Well, I for one think that although this is exciting, it can be also strenuous because of when you take that action shot, it suddenly goes totally wrong.

However, sometimes it really is kind of very nice because you were able to experience expert photography in action. You were able to know how photographers do on the go that they never stop for anything. 

I hope that I would have more of that action...

and.... PRINT!

A whole new world...

(note: 4th photography blog post...)

When we were going to have our photography trip to Lapasan (the deeper bleak side), we were all wondering on what's gonna happen during the trip. We were waiting and waiting and waiting for the jeeps to Lapasan to show up while testing out the DSLR camera my friends were carrying. When we finally got on the jeep, we were having a lot of talking and having while riding.

When we finally arrived at Lapasan right near the barangay hall and we were gather at the bleachers at the covered court that was under construction. Sir Jett instructed us to follow the instructions on the handouts while visiting our host family. I was with JJ, Mich, Patty, and Claudette when we were distributed to our host family. 

While we were taking pictures for our outdoor laboratory exercise, we also had fun and go to know the surroundings better and even got to see the rare side of Lapasan for the first time.

In the end, it was a very good experience. We had so much fun while learning depth of field and distance with the DSLR camera.

I wonder what will be our next experience?

Picturing a tiny world...

(note: 3rd photography blog post...)

When we got introduced to light tent photography, I thought to myself, "tiny pictures".

After we made the box for the lab session, we also bring out tiny stuff for the class. I brought a jade elephant, a little golden hat, a tiny ukelele, and other stuff. As we took our turns in taking pictures, we each made different stories. Mine is about two elephants playing a ukelele. 

But in the end, it was a very, very fun activity because we were able to experience taking pictures with little stuff. We  even learn that there is something that we can take pictures of, big and small.

SLR and Me

(note: second photography blog post...)

When I got introduced to the SLR camera, I thought that it would be easy for me to use it... but it's not.

At first, it was difficult because of first, that the film would be destroyed when the camera opens, also that subjects are very limited. No flowers, no trees, no cars, no classmates, no groupmates, and definitely... NO SIR EVANS!

However, despite of this, we were able to learn how to use it over time because we knew that it's not the camera that is the problem, it's how you take. That's what I learned when i saw the outcome of the pictures. And boy, do I learn my lesson???

But then again, I was able to learn how to use it, and I learned that always know where you're taking it because a picture cannot be erased for a lifetime.
