Sky highlights - Sunset

For today I'm giving you a 20 seconds of video of sunset

The video is taken from a plane. This is taken last June 24, 2012 I think we are above Visayas region at this time. I also took a couple of photo of it as well

Photo's are taken from iphone 4s I didn't get a chance to pull out my D5100 since I'm on the plane and my camera is in the bag. Well I hope you guys enjoy the view.

I'll post some picture of my tour in cagayan de oro and Iligan City in Mindanao.

D5100 with 55-300mm

Ah finally I have my own 55-300mm lens. Lucky I was able to bought this for 9500 pesos only. The lens is a 4 month old and was rarely used by the guy who sold it and I had a friend who also check it and wad suprise about the price of the lens and it really do look like a brand new lens and even my sister who own the same lens thought I bought it brand new. It was a lucky pick. So far I like the result of shots that I've bee wanting to have. soon I'll post a photo taken using this lens.

According to the source site that I provided this lens was release in the year 1994 and worth 6 million yen. Imagine if this can be made with AF-S function I can't imagine how much it will cost now days. I wish some day I get a chance to see and touch and take a shoot with this lens. Just amazing. By the way this lens is also made in a limited number only so only few have this lens and according to some reading that I saw in the internet, some of the people who buy this lens bought this just for model or display purposes only.

SKY

photo is taken using my iphone 4s camera. I love watching the sky. Every you'll see different kind of it and everyday as much as I can I want to take photo of the sky. For today photo blog here's my different shot of the sky using my iphone 4s. Each sky taken from different place and different date.

Pagudpod, Ilocos Tour

it's summer time and it's time to enjoy the sun to the fullest, This is my second time in pagudpud only this time we're not staying in pagudpod, we stayed at the rest house of our host of the tour in Batac Ilocos norte, the home town Ferdinand Marcos. Well I didn't enjoy the beach but I did enjoy the tour.

My first time seing this, photo taken from the malacanang of the north, the place, the furniture are all magnificent in my eye, but this woven machine, believe it or not our ancestor use this to create a cloth with different design and characters.

and of course the heritage st in vigan, well I didn't enjoy my visit here compare to the last time I went here. The Crisologo street is just a souvenir shop, I can't feel that I am in a old village where once our ancestor lives, For tourist our there planning on visiting this place, the perfect time to walk here is around 6am in the morning where all the shop are still close and then go back later in the night if you want to see the souvenir shop, there a difference of feel when you visit the place at a different time.

Blazing heat of the sun

Whoa it's April and it's damn super hot here in metro manila. Clear and blue sky is what you'll see everyday in The Philippines.

My First Light Trail Photography

After reading a lot of tutorial about Light Trail Photography, I finally decided to take a couple of shot with  my Nikon D5100. at first yeah I experience difficulty taking the shoot without having the rest of the image blurred and so I keep on reading and finally decided that I really needed a tripod to do this, since I'm in the 23th flr. in the office where I work I just look for a way to have my Nikon D5100 be in a stable surface to I use the window and have my camera set up on it.


After a couple of shoot with blurred images, I finally able to get the shot that I want.
