This was very gracious of them, including the major sponsor, Kia Motors. Kia donated Php500,000 that night, while all the proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the victims. Oh and yeah, one lucky ticket holder won a brand new Kia Rio. :) Rey Bugiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08755208492507860359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925538097010841659.post-83435691314946822092012-02-05T18:32:00.000-08:002012-02-05T18:32:30.613-08:00First Time with Video
After using my CaNikon and finding out how the photos looked like, I thought that it would be nice to put them through a video test. So I took a D90 and the 24mm f/2.8 FD lens to one of my baby's doctor's appointments and see how it would fare. It was sharp as hell and was very easy to work with. I think I'll keep these old lenses for now.

The guys from CF Madrid were very generous enough to travel to Manila for this event. All the proceeds will go to the Philippine Red Cross and they donated 10,000 Euros to the organization. They also brought items for bidding, including a signed jersey of Real Madrid star Ronaldo. I hope it gets sold for a high price so more people will benefit.

That is why I love maternity shoots because it reminds me of that feeling and to be able to share that to first time parents to be is priceless.
Like the previous shoot, she had some experience modelling before, which made it easy for me to do my job.

Sorry about the Copyright, just had to put that in
I guess most of the game he was the center of attention, and he even scored the first goal. It was a really exciting game, even when you look at the scoreboard and see that the Philippine Azkals have lost the game early in the second half.

I guess the ultimate way to know if the adapter was worth the $30 or so that I paid it for was to see the actual shots. I'll go thorugh the lenses I have and shot a few frames with it to test. Most of them are dirty from the inside due to lack of use over the decades.

But I've got to tell yah', mixing them up is waaaay more fun. As I blogged a couple of weeks ago, I recently started trying out using Canon lenses with my Nikon camera. It's been really fun, and I'll be sharing the experience with you on the next few posts. But first things first, how do you do it?

It's been a while since I last posted here. I blame it on a piece of $*&+ desktop (I really really need to switch to a Mac this Christmas) and a very busy family life.

Yup, you're seeing it right, that's a Canon lens on a Nikon body. You normally see people having Nikon lenses on Canon bodies nowadays (just says a lot who's lens is better), but there are some Canon lenses that I really like. The lens above is a Canon 24mm 2.8 FD lens. FD is the old lens mount that Canon abandoned about 30 years ago.

Turns out it was a landscape photo by Chuck O’Rear. Full article here.
So for you landscape photographers out there, who knows, you're next photo might land on to Bill Gates' hard drive...

This is what happens when you get a Japanese rock band, a factory full of Japanese made cameras and flashes, a chock full of Japanese ingenuity and a ton of the usual Japanese craziness. Totally amazing video.
So if you're seeing a ton of 60Ds in Ebay or Tipidpc, please check the actuations, and if it shows 50,000, then it probably was in this video.

I have a lot of DIY projects in my mind but too often I'm either busy or too lazy to work on them. My last DIY was the black straw grid that I retired about more than a year ago. Since then I just bought what ever I needed, but there's always a different feeling when you finish a diy project and then use them on shoots.

I've been out of the bloggersphere for a couple of months now. I guess it was harder to be a dad than I was expecting. Let me correct that, it's not hard to be a dad, it's hard to blog or do anything else when you have a newborn at home. Man, she's so cute I couldn't take a camera and take a picture. I just spent a lot of time looking at her and her big round eyes.

Honestly, I haven't really made a lot of improvement in my pictures (technical aspect), but I think my pictures from the last 12 months have more emotion, and means a lot more to me.

She's almost 8 months now, and I just had her 7th month picture taken. It's been a hectic few weeks. I hope I can take another photo this week or the next for her 8th month, so I could at least be on time for once.
I took a step away from the usual "tummy" shots I've been taking. I guess I wanted to focus more on her for this month. It's not just about the baby, it's also Rey Bugiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08755208492507860359noreply@blogger.com0
