Farewell of The Sun

The land bids adieu to the sun in a spectacular orgy of colors. An earthly feast of visual grandeur that only the night could consume. Dusk is a promise of return. A return just as majestic as the parting.

After a Workshop

"Floating Fuschia"

"Floating Fuschia Too"


"Gulp"


"Caged"


"Hornbill"


"Curious"

"Disproportion in Colour"

A couple of weeks ago I attended PCC's Basic Photography workshop. The units I took in college are yellowing with age in the obsolete shelf in my head. A refresher was most welcome and I'm sure glad a was able to find time for it. There will be a number of workshops this summer and I am looking forward to attending them all. All these workshops better improve my skills otherwise they will prove to be waste of time in epic proportions.

Anyway, above are some of the shots I took after the workshop. D' Family park in Talamban has a lagoon and a mini zoo. It was a worthwhile Saturday. A few more of workshops and I'll be a legend. Hehehe! Oh pull that brow down! Dreaming is free and this is called "dream abuse".

Cebu Heritage

"Faking Sunrise"

I had to be up at 4 am for a street photography fun shoot organized by PCC (Photographer's Club of Cebu) last Saturday. I had a great time despite my lack of sleep. I'll post more photos when I get a chance to tinker with them. In the mean time feast your eyes on the photo above.

It's the silhouette of the Cebu Heritage Monument. Done with 5 photographs, auto-stitched and auto-aligned via CS3. Cropped to define the edges and color matched with a photo of a sunset. This photo was taken at 7 in the morning when it was almost impossible to get silhouettes. The details of the monument were evident the original photographs. I used curves to hide the details and bring out the silhouette. I hope I was able to fake sunrise. What do you think?

Floralized

I dedicated my Sunday to Fort of San Pedro in downtown Cebu. Cebu has been my home for over 2 years yet I have not seen much of downtown. My next posts will most likely feature the City's must sees. You will see what the port is all about in my succeeding entries. I took this chance to feature the flowers that litter the site. Unless you're "The Crow" or the devil, these images are delighting to see.

"Budding Beauty"

"The Color Violet" LOL

"Color Sampler"

"Hot Flashes"

"Petal Pop"

"Micro Bouquet"

"Pink Swirl"

"Pinkquisite"

Do note that these photographs were take on a windy day. Just when you thought stationary objects are the easiest to shoot the wind turn them into kids on speed. All of the following photographs were taken in Speed Priority, WB: either Cloudy or Shade.

What do you know? More Sinulog photos!

I sure hope these photos are worth the wait. There should be one more entry for the festival after this. Forgive me for indulging myself. I badly need to go out and take photos.
