Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Camera Obscura
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008I don’t know why I bothered putting up one but it’s up and running, my photoblog. Is kinda nice but not much photos there right now. I’m also worried about my webspace. Boo! Go visit Camera Obscura! I used Pixelpost cos of the abundance of addons and themes. FYI, I use a Nikon D80 for my photography. I don’t have any other lens at the moment except the one which came with the kit.
Abandoned Photography
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I’ve been obsessing over photographs of ruins in Russia ever since my friend Kris showed me a link to this lj group. I don’t know how I to describe this obsession but I just find those photos so fascinating! I even keep on telling my friends who are into photography that we should go to Ukraine and just take photos of ruined structures. I’m nuts of course. I don’t think they’re nice to foreigners there. Well that’s what I gathered after watching Everything Is Illuminated (a really good film. I highly recommend it!). Anyway, here’s a nice example of what I’m talking about.

I found more groups of abandoned lovers. Check out the following if you like this stuff:
- Abandoned
- Rural Decay
- Haunted Houses, Creepy Buildings and Other Places
- Urban Desolation
- Post Communism
- IRO? CU?TAIN
Since I couldn’t go to Russia, I decided to make a flickr abandoned group closer to home. Join my Abandoned Philippines group if you have something to contribute. I haven’t had much opportunities to take photographs of Manila’s ruins but I will soon.
P.S.
I don’t know how to put captions under photos here in Wordpress. Teach me please!
Lomofy
Monday, March 10th, 2008I was googling for Russian cameras when I stumbled upon a tutorial on how to make digital photos look like they were taken with a Lomo LC-A camera. So I loaded my trusty Photoshop and tried the tutorial on one of my most recent shots.

After a bit of tweaking, here is the result.

Is very nice, eh?
You can try it with your own photos. Just go to the tutorial at Digital Photography School.
Vote For Me!
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Actually, my photos, not me. I entered 4 photos for the Food Tour contest. I think I have a good chance but we’ll see. I’m trying to convince my friends to vote but they need to sign up for a Yehey account first and they’re a bunch of lazies.
Help me win! Vote for my photos at www.yehey.com/promos/trinoma/dementia.html

Friday, January 11th, 2008Flickr Wordpress Plugin
Saturday, December 15th, 2007I got myself a paid flickr account last October so I decided to fully utilize it by linking photos I’ve uploaded there to this blog. I’ve been procrastinating (it took me almost 2 months just to search for a plugin) and just tried several plugins tonight, most of which are kinda crappy. Then I tried this fucktastic plugin by tantan and went a bit apeshit. It’s awesome. Now I have a gallery inside my theme and there’s an option for a widget (check the side panel). I’m still using WP 2.1.3 and have no plans of upgrading anytime soon cos of possible plugin conflicts. I don’t know if the plugin will work with the latest release but I still recommend it.
Please Be Kind
Monday, December 3rd, 2007I uploaded to flickr my first attempt at digital photography. Please check it out and give me comments. Most of my shots are blurred, I know. :(
My New (To Me) DSLR
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007Last night I bought my D80 kitlens from Daphne. She included a wireless remote, a UV lens, and a 4gb memory card. I got them for P44K and it still has warranty from Columbia. I took some photos during and after dinner but I’m too ashamed to post them here. Besides, I haven’t uploaded them to my laptop cos I’ve ran out of space. Anyway, I’ll post photos AFTER I’ve read the manual.
