    “I-mag Photography - Tutorial and Expert Advise you can actually use. This magazine was given to me by Rodel, isa ring kasamahan sa choir na kagagaling lang ng Pinas.

    Nag-aral kasi siya sa PCCI (Phil. Center for Creative Imaging) ng 2 courses, Digital Imaging and Color Management Fundamentals and Adobe Photoshop CS2 Basics. Maraming training courses ang offer ng PCCI, katulad ng Basic Photography, Food Photography, Celebrity-Glamour Photography, atbp. Medyo may kamahalan lang ang course fees pero sulit naman daw. Try ko rin pag-uwi kung makapag-aral pa.

ScHeDuLeD eNtRy 2 - Go… YaBaNg PiNoY!

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Sumusuporta ako sa “Yabang Pinoy” Filipino Pride Campaign, kaya nagpabili ako sa isa kong kasamahan ng 40 pieces na yabang pinoy bands sa Pilipinas. Ang presyo nito ay P50/piece, gawa sa abaca, kahit mabasa at mainitan hindi nasisira. Ang mga yabang pinoy bands ay ipinamahagi ko sa mga kasamahan ko sa choir.

The “Yabang Pinoy” bands are currently made by men and women in Barangay Aplaya in Muntinlupa City. Barangay Aplaya is a depressed area by Laguna lake in Muntinlupa City.

The making of the bands is a source of livelihood or extra income for the people of Barangay Aplaya.

“Yabang Pinoy” is a project of Children’s Environmental Awareness and Action Foundation (CEAAF) whose thrust is environmental education on the richness of biodiversity in the Philippines. CEAAF is a beneficiary of the “Yabang Pinoy” project.

Proceeds from “Yabang Pinoy” go to projects that aim to instill pride among the Filipino people.

Sa mga gustong bumili at tumulong, please text (+63) 0917-5277141 or (+63) 0917-8151513 or visit www.yabangpinoy.com (nakalink din sa side bar ko) for more details.

    “Creating watercolor landscapes using photographs - by Donald W. Patterson.” Nakita ko ‘to sa isa kong kasamahan na si Ka Dennis, binasa ko at hiningi ko na rin :). Mabuti na lang mabait kaya ibinigay sa akin :).

    This book shows how to:

    Get the most from your camera - tips on lighting, enlarging your images and more.
    Paint from a single photo - the camera will rarely pick up all the elements you need to make a good painting. Find out when and how to crop; change backgrounds; move or delete or add elements to make your painting great.
    Paint from multiple photos - discover how easily a composition can be
    improved by adding elements from another photo and what to look for when combining photos.
    Turn common scenes into exciting compositions - see how a little imagination, a small addition, better use of light, or a slightly different perspective can turn the ordinary into something special.

    This technique can be applied in any medium. My cousin Lotsu used this type of method in most of his paintings. I’ve done this before in one of my oil paintings - this was taken in Bagiuo 1995 “Highest Endeavor” .

    Today, 9am-4pm is our workshop on Digital Photography… Wish us success… Thanks! :)

    Got a new external hard drive 80GB capacity, USB 2.0. Hindi na kasi kaya ng 2 flash disks (2GB & 512MB) ang mga files ko lalo na ang mga pictures.
