Abstract & Still Life Photography

"Steel Bar"

These are one of the most challenging photography to master because you need to master both creativity and lightning, especially how to use lights to make your subject very interestingt. Well I'm planning to attend a Still-Life session with PSS (Photography Society of Singapore) very soon....

These are some of Abstract(Steel Bar) and Still-Life interpretation, hope you like it

1. Bread of Life

Note: Semi-finalist portfolio on "OPEN Category" in International Open Amateur Photography Contest, 2007" Sadly I didn't win because they required me to go to U.S.A. for me to represent my entry.

2. Vodka @ Office

Photo taken at +Hp office

I used a basic light that is available inside the office, well you might think how I done this without anyone seeing me.. That is a secret that I will not share hehehehe....

3. Candle Light's

Photo taken inside my room

Guess what! I have done it inside my room, because I'm addict about my passion so while it is raining very heavy here in Singapore cannot go out with my photography friends so I decided to make my day useful and it is worth it afterall.

Another Day of My Life had Passed By........

The Day of My Life

How you can resist the colorful sunset of our mother earth ? Well for me being here again in this place was another memorable to me because I'm very much inspired to captured a sunset landscapes nowadays.....

That is why all of us must care and love GAIA to preserve these wonderful characteristics of our mother EARTH.

Countdown to 2008

Marina Bay, Singapore

Year 2007 had been good to me; I met a lot of new friends, found a new job at British Telekom after three years of working with +Hp, having my own business in the Philippines and giving me good opportunity in everything I want to do especially in the field of photography. This year I won the second place for the PVi Photographer of the year 2007 which is not bad for a newbie like me, I hope I can do it better this year (2008) and win a lot of photo contest so I can earn some exposure to the public and "be the man" (I Wish, hehehehe).

As a photographer many of us is very keen to have a nice and wonderful capture of any fireworks diplay. Fireworks displays are certainly stunning and colorful. Capturing those moments with a camera is a challenge. Because it is done during end of the year at midnight so many steps you need to consider likes :

1. Scouting the area for a great place to shoot where the fireworks pontoon will be placed and fired before the actual event.
2. Getting early as possible on the day of the event, because not only you will be watching or capturing the fireworks display.
3. Preparing your necessary gears like Tripod, Remote cable, extra battery, flashlight, raincoat for you & and to your camera, Food & drinks, and lastly make sure you have a lot of memory cards because staying early on the area will be boring while waiting so many of you will be shooting anything that comes to your mind, am I correct ?
4. Stay focused - You need to set your lens to infinity then put it manual mode, autofocus will not be effective at night during fireworks display.
5. Timing - Exposure or shutter speed is something you need to pay attention when shooting fireworks.
6. Take lots of pictures, be creative, and have fun!

I hope that year "2008" will be still good to me and make my life simple and fruitful.




I wish all of us have a peaceful year and make mother earth as happy it should be. :)

"HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL"

My PinoyGrapher's Group

It is February of year 2007 that I met this enthusiastic photography group called "PinoyGraphers@SG" but the original name was "Photobongbong" before which is similar to the filipino appetizer - putobongbong. If I didn't join this group maybe I will have my own group by now but i'm still newbie so creating my own group will be much difficult so i decided to join and fortunately my decision is positive. I thank all of them of being good to me, helping/supporting me to improve my skills, ideas, and public relation to other people's. Before I'm shy to show my pictures but now I'm proud to show it to everybody because of these good people of this group!. Currently our group is involved in many events that the Philippine Embassy and Filipino Association Group (FAS) is doing here in Singapore. I love this group, proud to be with them!
