Being Professional A Month Later...

It's been a month since my last post. Gotta say that the excitement hasn't really worn off yet. I don't know if it ever will. I wish I could post some of the pictures I've taken lately. Soon I shall. I might be able to post one quite soon as I was able to shoot a friend's baby daughter this morning. Was she ever adorable. Though, like her mom said, medyo mahal yung ngiti nya. She only smiled maybe once or twice, and she hid her face whenever she did. :) I was able to catch one though. Enhanced the shot and her mom loved it. I'll ask them if I can post it here.

I'm learning new things everyday... well, ok, not everyday but I'm learning new things. And I'm having fun. While working with clients who are at first strangers to me might be daunting at times, and I think I've had my share of clients who've made me nervous, I think I've been lucky enough to be able to really establish rapport with most of them and have fun with them during their shoots. But I really need to pay more attention to detail. I am getting into a rhythm, and I hope that, no scratch that. I KNOW that in time I can be the best I can be.

Hi! :) I was browsing around, looking for details about the picture company, and stumbled, (without amazing coincidence, I believe) into your blog. I read through it, and I must say, I was very inspired by your journey. Let's just say I hope to be where you are someday. Like you, I love photography, so, so, so, much, and I am so, so, so, willing to learn.

Can you give me advice with how to go about with all of this? I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to establish communication with me. My name is Marjorie Cocjin, and I'm from Manila. My email address is marjoriecocjin@yahoo.com

If you don't have time to reply, I perfectly understand. Congratulations with your accomplishments, and keep this blog going. I love reading through it. Amazing pictures! :) :) :)

Discussing the Term: Maniniyot

I was recently introduced to this term by a co-worker who said she'd been called one by her friend when said friend learned that she is now a photographer at The Picture Company . Supposedly " maniniyot " is the tagalog / filipino word for "photographer". Ok, first off, as far as the word goes, I'm not even sure if it's a real word. I can't begin to fathom what tagalog root-word could've birthed such a word (obvious from this reaction perhaps my revulsion to the term) if it is at all, in fact, tagalog. But language being such that it is, evolving I mean, I'm sure it was only a matter of time before we would invent such a word. Spurred on by curiosity and annoyance, googling (also an invented word now that one thinks about it) the term pointed me to several websites and blogs having to do with photography, and to a youtube video entitled "Mr. Kodaker (Ang Maniniyot) - Max Surban - Karaoke". All said links, none of which providing d...

Review: A7 Sports Action Cam via Lazada.com.ph

4 Days later Not sure how I should begin the little review... no, I'm sorry. I know how: You get what you pay for. Ok. Granted I paid just Php 1,199. For that amount, I was promised the following: 1) A portable yellow Action camera with 2) 5MP still photo capability, and 3) HD video recording 4) A waterproof case with different mounts Given that there were at other similar cameras on offer for at least 3x the price (the SJ4000 for example costs roughly Php 4,400 ), I thought I'd take the risk and buy this cheap little thing fairly conscious of potential trade offs. I conditioned myself to expect the worst. In that regard, I guess I wasn't disappointed, though not fully so. The Good:  The A7 looks a lot like the GoPro and some other Chinese made action cams (like the SJ4000 as previously mentioned). Unlike the GoPro, it comes with a built in LCD with which you can see what you record. The water proof casing it comes with is indeed waterproof, though I have y...

Travel Photography: Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort

Image
I 've previously shared with you several instances of my travels around the Philippines. This is the latest in the series, I guess. Hahaha. I t's summer time, and what better place to go than the beach? Because of insistent public demand (well, more like glowing reviews from beach goers from certain forums) , we decided to go to Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort. And I gotta say, this particular place is probably one of the best beaches I've been to lately, if not one of the best beaches I've been to period . D on't let the name fool you though. It might be called a resort, but it's really not (well, technically it really is but...) . I'd say, it's more of a haven actually. I home away from home, away from all the hustle and bustle and stress that the over-commercialized Subic Bay freeport area represents. It's fine and nearly white sand, it's breath-taking vistas, cool and surprisingly not so salty water (my personal estimation compared to some bea...
