Chasing Light at Pagbilao, Quezon
It's been raining for a week; but, rain or shine or thunderstorm, the
Chasing Light workshop with Canon Ambassadors Edwin Martinez and Jay Jallorina will push thru.
We would be leaving
Manila for
Pagbilao, Quezon on Saturday, June 25, 5am. Meeting place is at
Paseo de MagallanesOur prayers may have been heard, upon arriving at Pagbilao, the weather is good. We were able to shoot sunset at Lucena (without the sun... LOL). But at least, we were able to try out the lessons taught to us that day.
Sunday, June 26, we leave the
Ouan's Worth Farm and Resort at 4am to go to Pagbilao to try our hand on sunrise shots.
By 4:30am. we were wading through knee-deep water to be able to reach a small beach where we would be able to shoot the mangroves and the sunrise. Going back to our ride, the water is already leg-deep. Sure feels like were from National Geographic. LOL
After the shoot, there were more lectures. We left Lucena around 5PM.
Green Lantern
It would be my birthday treat to the June celebrants--four of them. Our usual meeting place is at the second floor of the
SM Mall of Asia's (MOA) main hall. Birthday lunch is at
Burgoo. Timing, too, that is is Father's day. The Father's get's a free soup. One of us got one. And the birthday celebrants? They were given each an ice cream with a candle on it as the Burgoo staff sang a happy birthday song.
After, we watched a movie--
Green Lantern--as we have a kid with us. A test pilot was given a mystical green ring by a dying alien. With it is the responsibility to protect the universe from powerful cosmic threats--he automatically becomes a member of an intergalactic police force. The movie is definitely for kids. c",)
Super 8
From the title, you would think that
Super 8 is about eight superheroes in tight jeans, able to jump tall buildings or fly. (Super 8 is actually a motion picture film format released in 1965 by Eastman Kodak.) Far from it... or is it? These young kids were actually heroes by being themselves. Love the film! Just the right touch...
After, attended the anticipated Mass.
Studio Shoot
Our office's camera club for this month is a studio shoot. Assisted today the organizer of the activity. Used a high-key and low-key set-up. There is a special batch (not announced) to have a hand in nude photography. The organizer requested that I also be there to make the model comfortable with the group. c",)
Before proceeding to the studio, dropped by Guadalupe to give the pictures I promised.
Guadalupe
Today would be my "assignment" day.
Went to Guadalupe to interview the guard and take photos as suggested by the
Tilak Hettige for my assignment in his class. Was at the place around 8:30AM. Will have to go back again by 3PM for it is the time he would be ending his shift. Oh! It is his birthday the following day; thus, gave him a roll/cake as my gift and token.
Plus is that I was able to interview one of those flagging a taxi for customers for tips.
I promised many I would be giving them a copy of their pictures. Will go back next weekend to do just that. c",)
Insidious
in-sid-e-as (from Answers.com)
1. Working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner: insidious rumors; an insidious disease.
2. Intended to entrap; treacherous: insidious misinformation.
3. Beguiling but harmful; alluring: insidious pleasures.
My movie weekend is
Insidious. The body of a comatose boy is attracting malevolent spirits. It's like watching the TV show
Haunted. You would know it's a movie because of the ending... which I was able to guess.
After, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at the
New Bombay.
