Our first photo ever was taken during a Christmas party at the beach. Terence was just trying out his new "Old Yashica" and was asking me about manual settings. Obviously I overshot by at least a couple f/stops overexposed. Talk about mastering manuals!hehehe
Not too close Momi Reg! Your officemates are around!hehehe

Reg & Rye, First Photo Ever
Sandugo 2006 Outtakes
Our little group of Tagbilaran photographers huddled quite late at around 11am Sunday morning for the street dancing. Present were: Terence, Jude, Liza, Dianne, Reg and Me. Most of us had our film cams in tow (heck we don't have digitals some of us!).
Butch (left) also a member (founding member actually, hehe) of the camera club was there although not to take shots. He's with Hyegiea, his girlfriend.
Dancing in the hot streets of Tagbilaran on a sweltering day isn't entirely an easy feat. But apparently, to these dancers, there seems to be no problem at all.
But some thought otherwise.
She just stopped clowning around and wore a frown.
This guy was just way deep into his own private thoughts.
If this bunch screamed "STOP!", I wouldn't be surprised. I was about to pass out myself as well.
Good thing Jude (6300Media) was there to capture moments with his brand new "old Nikon".
Whew! What a day!

On the 26th of August...
Regina and I are going to be married at this place..the Shrine of Our Lady of Assumption in Dauis, Bohol.
The first plan was supposedly at the 4th floor chapel of the Holy Spirit School (where Reg graduated elementary and hight school from) but because we were lazy some other couple booked it first.
Anways, photo below shows the church (that tiny speck on the lower left part), the Dauis sunset, and the cool, cerulean blue sea. :p
Well, okay. That's me on the left and Regina on the right. Apparently. Cool couple huh?:D
This is the back of the church where the reception buffet will be held. Nice greens and the perfect backdrop of the old stone church wall. Let's just pray it won't rain.
Not really the model type. Nice composition by Reg though. :D
Told Reg to walk (not strut and sway) but strut and sway she did. Nice view. :>
The sea was just perfect! My model Regina would attest to that.hehehe
Anyways, see you people soon...if ever anybody is reading this...hehe

The Sandugo Oracles
One of the more exciting events that happened during this year's Sandugo affair was the Sandugo Oracles - a musical/drama/play concoted by Bohol's more-gifted-at-these-sorts-of-happenings folks.
It was entirely explosive (and quite literally too with the amazing fireworks display towards the end) as attested by the hundreds of viewers last Sunday. In fact they will be doing an encore this Wednesday. That good.
Anyways, the photos should tell a lot. Cheers!

Professionalizing the Philippine Photo Industry
If you are a professional photographer in the Philippines, I'm sure you would not mind professionalizing the whole photography market as well since the industry - whether in Metro Manila or in the provinces - is riddled with a lot of controversies regarding rates and what-nots.
Anyways, a group of people are proposing to put up a website that will set the standards. I think this really helps. A lot.
Read on. Here's the link:

Strobist Boot Camp Headshot Assignment
Lighting: Flash bounced to a white foamcore on the left and DIY roof insulation reflector on the right. I compensated for the exposure 2 stops down to soften the sunset on the background (from the Strobist tutorial). Very minimal PS contrast adjustment, sharpening and cleaning done.
Equipement: Canon EOS 300D and two able-bodied (and cheap) assistants as lighting stands/grips.
Behind the pic: Just right in time for the Strobist Bootcamp assignment, a group of Bohol-based singers were hiring me to do the photography, graphics and lay-out for their album. Consequently, some photos in this series were published on the lifestyle section of a local newspaper. Posted this without permission since copyrights are mine as per agreement. :)

Down at the Strobist School of Lighting
Good things come easily as all things do. But for the better things in life, you have to have patience, hardwork and well, some luck.
As a self-taugt photographer, I seldom come across the better stuff. But with Strobist blog, I have found the best that I - in my own capacities and level - need direly.
Just some thoughts to honor David.
Thanks.
