National Motocross Cup Round 8

Posted by tekgik under Sports, kaBlog

Last Sunday, I shoot in the National Motocross Cup Round 8 at San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. At last for the longest time, i’ve been wanting shooting in this kind of sporting event.

I didnt know that my kababayan Kenneth San Andres is outrageously fast driving his 2 wheeled monster! WOW he flies! He even beat the old time champion Jovie Saulog!

Thanks to my Ninong Nick Fernando for letting me know of this event, his construction company was the one who developed the Internationally designed race track together with Archt. Yuson.

I sold my Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lens last week. I have no telephoto lens to use and was really contemplating on what lens to get. Canon 70-200 f2.8 L or 70-200 f2.8 L IS? With all that research and sleepless nights I bought a new one last Monday, the Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 L IS version. I closed my eyes signed the check and bought the lens…Whoa! Goodbye good earned moolah!

Well, the Sigma served me well! Very well! It is true that its not the equipment nor the technology but after using this bazooka lens, I kinda disagree. This lens is a remarkable one, it is sharp at f2.8 wide end (70mm) and especially on the long end (200mm). The Image Stabilizer really helps and it will give you sharper images. The output photos are more punchier because of the better contrast from its glass. And yo-yeah its Bokehlicious among the Canon 70-200 family. Almost No CA (Chromatic Aberration). These are the image characteristics that I’ve been longing from my Sigma since 2003.

Watch out for my Miss Earth 2008 press presentation pics soon. Images are from the lovely 70-200 2.8 IS without PP only cropping on some.

Thanks to Jan Tan of JT Photo World for reserving me the last one.

Heres a photo of Raffy playing his new bow & arrow toy that he snatched while we’re on our way to the counter. Of course I brought my anywhere-i-go cam, the LX3 and took this shot.

Boom vehicle accidents!

Posted by tekgik under kaBlog

I passed by 3 accidents yesterday. 1st in NLEX, 2nd in C3 and 3rd C3 again.

What a “good” day yesterday, ironically speaking.
