on film : the blue sky

canon av-1 + centuria 200 film

I took the blue sky with me that day, I saw this picture and it took my breath away. The hues and colors that infused on my mind, makes the clouds and the colors stand still in time…

photoworld 2008!

The yearly event for photography is back on at Glorietta Activity Center, Makati on January 31-Feb 5. Trade shows ftw!

PDF brochure here.

I asked a fellow photography enthusiast at work if he would like to join me in prowling the area. My only target was just to look. Highly emphasize on the word LOOK, tingin lang, 見るだけ, magtan-aw ra, and all other translations of look.

But hey, I can still dream among the clouds, right? (DSLR! FILM! FILM! MORE FILMS! LENSES FOR MY AV-1!! AAAAH!!!)

A walk to Binondo : Part 1

I took my cameras out for a trip a few weeks ago to Binondo for my first pseudo-shoot. The weather agreed with me as the sun beat down my neck on my dark green top, baggy jeans, and chucks.

here are more pics from the rooftop shoot I did yesterday. I forgot to bring my camera today, and I feel naked without it…

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

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

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 :)
