JCBulatao Photography.

First off, I'd like to apologize to those who actually read my blog and visit it from time to time to check on where I've gotten to on two wheels. A lot has happened since my last Motorcycle Photo Diary entry that has led to me making the most of my off-days but not necessarily on the Honda Wave. Sorry for that. Trying out a new layout courtesy of blogger's new Design tab. If anyone reads this, leave a comment in the comment section (on the actual blog preferably and in the facebook cross-post). Picture window, the theme is called. I'll think about how long I'm going to keep it that way. For those of you who don't already know, I've spent the last two weeks of July in KL, on a semi-vacation, slash (yes I typed it out as a word) experiencing the TPC-KL lifestyle, meeting new friends, eating new food (photos in a blog entry to follow), going places and getting lost commuting around the city.    Spent the first day off doing a half day city tour. Photos av...

T o those who know me and / or read this blog semi-regularly, you probably know that I've been using two very functional point and shoots for my personal photography. Those who've had a personal relationship with those cameras know that they've served me well and have provided many an entertaining moment (particularly with the video recording function hehe). However, after so many years of experiencing their limitations, I've decided to upgrade. To do so, I had to say goodbye to one of my cameras, to my Olympus C-8080 WZ. I 've said good bye to the 8080's amazing versatility, it's video recording capability, it's comfortable bulk and all-in-one lens (all-in-one kasi wala ka naman talagang choice. hehe). And I've finally said hello to my first DSLR, the olympus E-410. :) It's smaller than the 8080, and doesn't have your standard camera grip, which has made it challenging to handle and stabilize. However, it is lighter, faster, and since it ...

O k. I'm in the market for a DSLR. I mean no offense to my point and shoots, but I'm starting to feel the desire to shoot a little faster, take more pictures with less delay as possible. That's one of the things I'm noticing with more intermediate point and shoot cameras. They may have nearly all the features of a true DSLR, the ability to use a hot shoe flash (hmmm... lets talk about that in a future entry...) but when it comes down to autofocusing and getting the shot, there's a little more lag than I'd like to have. So, within the budget I'm setting for myself (this doesn't mean I actually have said budget at the moment mind you) , I've set my sights on a couple of choices, one of which was blogged in a previous entry, and the other in this one. So lets get to it. I want an Olympus E-410. A nnounced March 5, 2007, the Olympus E-410 was set to be one of the world's firsts. It was one of the world's first consumer DSLRs to carry the live...
