So You Just Got Yourself A New Camera

With the recent drop in prices of digital cameras, from point & shoots, to prosumer DLSRs to more professional ones, owning a digital camera is now more possible than ever.

It’s About Time. Goodbye IT, Hello Photography.

After nearly six years, I’ve finally come to my senses and decided to live my life “normally.” Yes, I’ve decided to leave WolfPac Mobile and yesterday, was my last day. It took a lot of guts for me to leave it all behind (my constant source of stress, and yet my comfort zone as well), [...]

Grams Diner Photos

Spilled Coffee Beans

Spilled Coffee Beans Just recently I was commissioned to shoot a diner’s menu. So shoot I did. Last friday (may 20), the new menu has been released. But aside from the menu itself, some of my photos (around 15 big big big photos) are viewable on the walls of the diner. So practically speaking, it’s [...]

Clouds Over The Makati City Hall (Time Lapse)

I was hoping the color of light would change dramatically but it didnt. However, subtle movement (cars, clouds) can be noticed if you look closely. :)


A Time Lapse Experiment

I’ve had my camera, a D300, for years now and it has this feature to shoot photos at pre-defined intervals. I’m practically hitting myself in the head for not trying this early on, but it’s never too late to give it a shot. So here’s my initial attempt at Time Lapse Photography. Camera was mounted on [...]


 


Black & White Film Processing At Home

With all the resources out there, this should quickly get you into film processing quickly. This is meant as a beginner’s How-To in developing/processing your Black and White film without the need of a darkroom. But, it should, by no means be considered as a one-top-shop for the topic. If you want to advance further or get more technical, tons of resources are available out there for googling.


Slowing Down and Reuniting with Film

One Way

In this day and age of digital cameras and warp-speed workflows, why would anyone want to go film? That’s a question that has been asked of me these past few weeks.

Deliciously del.icio.us!

For anyone who uses, at the least, two computers (e.g. a home PC and an office laptop), maintaining a common set of bookmarks can be very tedious. When a change is made on one computer, I used to export bookmarks from it and import into the other, and vice-versa, in an almost vicious cycle. It [...]

Reminiscing My Not-So-Indiana Jones Moments on the Roofs of Trains

A friend, Estan Cabigas recently shared an interesting story about the PNR (Philippine National Railways) Bicol Express that reminded me of a trip I have yet to make. I’ve been planning to do that some time next year. I’m still hoping there’s a cargo hold somewhere that would allow me to bring my Vespa with [...]
