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.

Canon Image Nation Celebration.. EOS 50D Launching

Posted by tekgik under kaBlog

Canon had a great Photographer’s Night celebration yesterday evening, it was held at NBC tent Fort Bonifacio. They launched their 3 latest DSLR’s, the EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 50D and EOS 1000D. I was the one asked to review the EOS 50D and we made a recorded interview for the AVP presentation. This is my second time doing this AVP thing and im still laughing at my self because im not really comfortable in front of the camera. In fairness i have improved, from 3 hours taping (EOS 400D review) down to 2 hours for this one hahaha. I welcome these things because in life you need to face your fears to be able to learn, grow and overcome your weaknesses. After seeing the edited version last night i found relief pwede na pala yung ginawa ko haha. I salute Direct Peach Castelo of Sacred Space Film Productions for doing a great job!

And now back to the topic…. when will the 5d Mark II will be available

Have a great weekend everyone!

Of course moral support from my wife. Too bad she was late to watch the AVP

Sheeny, shiny products!

Posted by tekgik under Commercial, industrial, product, Still

This week Im shooting shiny products, the most challenging product I ever photographed. I successfully eliminated the unwanted reflections and I also created some wanted shadows to put more life to the product. You really need to understand how the light bounces back (angle of incidence) to perfect this shot.

4.5 hours Baguio to Manila via SCTEX

Posted by tekgik under kaBlog

Ok so we went to Baguio last sat Aug 23. Im on experimental that day, I wanted to try the route of SCTEX thru Tarlac hi-way.

SCTEX Tarlac

Kenon Road

Kenon Road, shooting while driving (kids dont try this at home)

Up north, from Manila (Valenzuela exit) to Baguio City with an average of 80km/h (Kenon Rd & Mc Arthur Hi-way) 100km/h (SCTEX) we were able to reach Baguio at about 5.5hrs with frequent stops and misrouted to the SE of La Paz, Tarlac  approximately a total of 1.5 hour.

Going home from Baguio to Valenzuela with same route and average speed we were able to get home for only 4.5hours with just 1 stop at Capas, Tarlac 15mins the most.

It deifnitely short cuted the travel time since you wont be jamming thru the stops and traffic at Luisita, Banban and Mabalacat.

I enjoy this overnight trip specially that im with my beloved ones, the important people in my life. Ohhh did I mentioned I also played with my e71 and GPS while driving? I love that phone! Im having fun geeking with it

Here one shot taken by my brother!
