A visit to Manila Ocean Park

Posted by tekgik under Macro, Travel, kaBlog

Last sunday we went to Manila Ocean Park to check out the place. Honestly Its a nice Oceanarium but it didnt came close to Singapore and Hong Kong ocean parks. And i felt that the P400 entrance fee (P350 if you enter 6pm above) for an unfinished park is quite hefty.

Anyway see some snaps from this trip.

My back is aching, muscle pains. Why or how?ah yeah my son Raffy wrestles me everyday, he jumps over my back. The heavy tekgik jr loves to play with his dad. Fun and crazy moment for both of us. I need some good heavy massage ;)

Adobe Lightroom 2.0 Beta

Posted by tekgik under News, Tech

If you are still unaware, Adobe released a new public beta of its Lightroom software. Its called Lightroom 2.0 Beta.

New in 2.0 Beta (copied from Adobe’s website)

  • Localized corrections — Enhance specific areas of an image for unsurpassed nondestructive flexibility and control reminiscent of the traditional darkroom dodge and burn experience.
  • Improved organizational tools — Find the images you need quickly and easily.
  • Multiple monitor support — Add an additional monitor to efficiently manage photographic workflow and presentation.
  • Flexible print package functionality — Create custom layouts containing multiple sizes of a photograph on a single page.
  • 64-bit support — Lightroom 2.0 now takes advantage of the latest hardware architectures with improved memory handling and performance

The beta software will expire on August 31. Download now

Warning: Its a beta software so it is bound to have bugs and problems. Use your old final version of Lightroom for serious work. Alrightie? ;)
