photography : reflections from the n00b

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

I’m at lost for words whenever people make claims about what photography is for them.
Whilst others are the annoying fanb01s and fangur1s eager to play with their new toys and basically taking the same people-over-mountain/di-op ni yaya scene with different mediums and wondering why their pictures are too dark, too blurry, too burnt out, or [...]

Konika Chromes : hold the color shift, extra grain please!

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Bai recently got a batch of Expired Konika Chrome 200s and of course, I had first dibs on the food. This was the official film of the 2008 NSP Beach Party as it fed a happy Canon AE-1P, Vivitar UW&S, Snapsights Underwater Cam and his Nikon FM2N.
The characteristic is somewhat odd in all slide films [...]

the first shot from the first roll of my smena8m
Sorry for the semi-long hiatus. I was busy preparing my final stages of exit from my current work. which sort of halted a lot of my photography .. erhm…study.
Anyhow. It’s been a month since I acquired my new-old toy. It flew all the way from New [...]

photographic reflections

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I noticed that I’m a sucker for reflective surfaces the same as my photographer manager friend. Although I seem to have a very close relationship with puddles.
If you remember this post, it was a wet morning and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to create beautiful mirror scenes of nature.

Canon AV-1 + DNP Centuria 200

gearing up: what to bring to the beach.

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

So Bai and I are attending my company’s beach party this Saturday and the dilemma right now is what camera to bring.
Well I’m the only one in a dilemma. Bai has already decided to bring his Fm2n + 80-200 f/2.8 + fisheye. And me…Decisions decisions!
It used to be an easy task. Renault is the first [...]

shallow debt of field…

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

That is the corniest line that I’ve come up with since Freon (which was around last week). I wanted to stop being such a shopaholic and to focus more on my goal on decreasing my debts and to get myself liquid before 2009. Same way I tried to lose weight last 2007.
I had been meaning [...]

sidetracking : another way to make money with your blog

Monday, April 14th, 2008

My mother always told me, that I have more opinions than people ask for, sometimes too much for my own good and I mostly get into trouble. So I mostly write. I like writing about anything remotely interesting in my part, or anything that grabs my attention (think nice and sparkly things to write about). [...]

film 101 by the level 5 n00b. part 2

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Welcome back to the ever informative and really basic introduction about films by a not-so-n00b, for not-so-n00bs. Actually, If you remember my previous post regarding color negatives, I hope you had fun wiping your nosebleed about the different colored films and how they’re all different from each other.
Next up, I would like you take you [...]

the 36-shot challenge.

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

My family has always been a fan of surprise outings. During the holy week I was told we were going to Manila Ocean Park.
There was a roll of Kodak Max Versatility 400 in my AV-1. Where 22 of the 24 exposures were already exposed.
I was rummaging my film stash. I only have the 2002 fuji [...]

I don’t know how it happened.

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

My beloved Renault’s battery has gone missing. I cannot post pictures of anything. Schroeder , my trusty laptop is off for repairs in the hospital and basically I’m pretty much sunk for the long weekend.
So I am film girl tomorrow at the trip to Tagaytay. Problem is, I only have a roll of Fuji Proplus [...]
