Paete Road trip

Just got back from my Paete, Laguna road trip with fellow Phphoto member. Actually its just a quick half day road trip. We met around 11:30 AM in Jo Avila's studio at Greenhills then we left around 12:00 PM.

Our route to Paete is via Rizal Province (Antipolo,Tanay,Angono,Baras etc)we arrived in Paete around 2:00PM we parked in Paete Church. I started shooting in the Church first shooting then Church facade then the interiors. I really didn't shoot much inside the interiors it is dark I manage to shoot some children praying with the light coming from the church window (which is my favorite picture of this trip see below) and couple of shoot of the Altar thanks to Dodie for letting me used his tripod.

After shooting at the we walk a little further downtown to shoot some wood carver for which this town is famous for. According to the wood carver we talk to the town was named after the tool "Paet" chiesel they used to do wood carving.



We only stayed in Paete for a couple of hours and left around 4:00 PM because e have be at Pililia, Laguna before 5:00PM in order to catch the sunset overlooking Laguna de Bay. While on the way to Pililia we have a brief stopover because some of my companions bought miniature houses (see photos below).



I was able to shoot a number of shots of the sunset on my SLR and on my P&S digicam but the focal length of my P&S are not wide enough to capture the whole area. Just can't wait to have the slides processed and scan so I can post it online.

Shot using my digicam



We cap of our road trip by having dinner at Grilla in Sumulong highway, Antipolo.

Rest of the picture I shot on this road trip will be posted later.

Till my next road trip.

Facade Perspective in Mirror View

I was on my way home from work. When I pass by this mirror (Its the mirror used by security people to inspect under the vehicle for bombs terrorist threat makes everyone paranoid nowadays) I noticed the reflection of the building facade on the mirror. So I took again few shots as always with my trustworthy toy of course after arranging the mirror a little bit to get the shot I wanted. This is my choice shot.

Children at Play

Here are pictures of Children playing at the fountain outside the Mall. I was fascinated by their care free attitude while playing with water that they don't care going home in wet clothes.

Passageway that nobody passes

I passed by this gate everyday on my way home. So it didn't escape my eye once again, so I took a shot of this gate. I never seen this gate opens looks like nobody is passing through here.

Greenbelt Chapel

I was at Greenbelt 3 last Saturday to meet some friends. From Glorietta I walk to Greenbelt 3 passing by Greenbelt park and the chapel was in the middle of it. Can't help but to bring out my Camera and took a couple of shot. Luckily there were no guards that stop me or look for a permit. Maybe because I'm using a compact digicam.

For me this picture represents 3 choices I have to made. Its either "Go to Work", "Go to the Mall" or "Go Home to rest".
