Batanes Day 1

Posted by tekgik under Landscape, Travel, kaBlog

After waiting in the airport for 7 long hours “Due to technical problems, Sea Air said”.. finally we touched down to Batanes, Island paradise of the Philippines.

1st destination is at the “Marlboro Country”.  We ate lunch and was introduced to the magnificent view of Batanes.

Left and right you see spectacular views! I missed the place now.

The weather was quite fair, cool breeze but no blue skies. Its ok il definitely return to this beautiful province.

Last tuesday, i judged a photo contest in Ortigas for the WESM - PEMC (Philippines Electricity Market Corporation) photo contest. Entries were taken by PEMC employees. I was invited by a good award winning fellow PiPho Org member Orlee Ninon.

the conference table full of 8×12 prints

I judged the contest together with Mrs. Huang, Wawi Navarozza and another fellow PiPho Org and past president Raffy Yllana. The other team of Judges were from PEMC President Mr Holapainen & VP Mr. Pangilinan.

I was impressed by some photographs since they maximized all what they have, note mentioning some decent point and shoot shots.

IS wins..

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.
