take flight to where earth meets the heavens.

I took a chance this morning to go sky-hunting with a close friend. I took my coffee, my cameras, and a pack of malboro lights and headed up my favorite place.

The sky was beautiful. And the floor was full of puddles waiting to be explored.

The last of my rooftop escapades.

All good things must come to an end…

I’ll tell more when I get home.

the world through my eyes

I always wanted pictures were I can show my artistic side inside my own photos. I had no tripod and I was left to search for my own makeshift tripod. (mental note: buy a tripod soon). There were no other mediums available but a cooler for some air-conditioning device. This is my favorite.

medium : Canon IXY 910 IS
shutter speed: 1/159 (seconds)

exposure : 1/160(seconds)

aperture : F/8 (seriously? not a 2.8? *surprised)

ISO : 80

After playing around some more, my camera died on me. Hahah. Anyway I was happy with this one :)

exposure : 1/250(seconds)

aperture : F/2.8

I have found a haven. 3 flights of steel stairs, hands dusted with gray, powdery, concrete dirt, a leap over cemented hollow blocks and I was greeted by a vast immense space of buildings, bridges and sky.It was 7:30 in the morning. I took a chance to catch what horizon I will be seeing. So far, every chance that I am free for a photo-op, I was blessed with the cloudiest of gloom. But interestingly with patches of golden-orange rays and a peek of blue. Will make do.

Anyway. It was always breath-taking to stand and just watch the world spin madly on.  :) and yes, yes! Here are the pictures.

medium : Canon IXY 910 IS
shutter speed: 1/159 (seconds)
exposure : 1/160(seconds)
aperture : F/2.8
ISO : 80

I could stay here and look on from dusk till dawn. Smoking a cigarette and drinking cheapass/gourmet coffee. I love wide open spaces. But too bad the next time I climb up here the view will be blocked with some big-ass building. :(

notice anything else? :D
medium : Canon IXY 910 IS
shutter speed: 1/403 (seconds)
exposure : 1/400(seconds)
aperture : F/2.8
ISO : 80

I will continue standing here until they block the magnificent view from the distance.
I took these in film as well, I wonder how will they turn out :)
