Another Action Sampler shot

For today I would like to show another shot made from Action Sampler. The sode dispenser at our project office.

Shot in the crossing near my house shot this before but this will be the fisheye version.

Action Sampler

Just finish the first roll in my action sampler so I hurriedly have it process so I can see the result. So far half of the photo in that roll turns out ok (which means I like the outcome) here is one of them.

Picture for today is a self portrait using Fisheye.
Can't wait to see the Action sampler shots.

Disaster recovery

Well after a disastorous weekend, all is well now with my Macbook pro. I was able to get my backups at the office. After a clean reinstall and update the OS to 10.4.10 (which is running smoothly so far finger crossed). I was able to get almost all of my music to itunes. Get my important photos well at least my portfolio and stock photos are intact thanks to extra back up in DVD. I'm completed reinstalling some of my apps like adium (for chat) Mail plugins, and my BT client and RSS reader (some of it I have to download again).
So what else is missing I think its complete its like normal again I can do the stuff I'm doing with this computer like writing this entry for instance.

Well I'll be able to do my new passion which is Lomography (more on that on future post).

This will be the picture of the day shot using the Lomo Fisheye camera. Be posting some picture from the action sampler once I finished the roll.

Lomo Picture of the day

Just finish my first roll of film shot using my Lomo Fisheye. Instead of posting all of the picture here I thought of posting one picture at a time here. This will be the first picture from that roll.

I finally join the Lomography bandwagon. Just got myself an Lomo Fish eye (photo above) and currently on my first roll of film shooting whatever I feel shooting. I will post the pictures after processing .

When Disaster strike

Yesterday I made a software update on my Mac OS updated to 10.4.10. While updating my external hard drive (where most of my back up files are stored) was mounted on my Laptop. After the update and restarted my Computer for some unexplained reason most of my application won't launch.
The worst part of all my files (photos, music library, documents were gone both in my hard drive and in the external hard drive (its disaster time) I just don't understand how it happened. The folders on both of my drives are intact but when you click on the folders there are files.
Now I'm currently recovering some of my file that was lost. good thing I have some back up made in CD but that was not updated its better thing than nothing to recover but still its a tedious thing to do and now I have to solve the problem od launching some of my apps.

Kobe

This is Kobe my wife's nephew. I shot this portrait during our visit to Manila early this year. On the series of shot I took of him this one is my favorite. I shot him in a Candid matter eyes wide open maybe he was surprise of the flash attached on my camera.
I recently won our camera club monthly photo competition with this picture as my entry. With that I won a Canon photo printer which till now still wrap in the box well don't have use for the printer as I still print my pictures on the lab but thats another story to tell.

Flower

This is one of the subject that I seldom shoot. Maybe I'm not that good in shooting flowers or its a little bit feminine. And whenever I try to shoot flowers the pictures came out um um.

Here are one of the rare instance that I shoot flowers and was satisfied with the outcome so Its just right to post it here.

Burjal Arab

After living in UAE for over a year I have a chance to take a snap on Burjal Arab. Before moving over here I was planning to shoot this hotel that they say is the only 7 Star hotel in the world. Been planning on to go there but it always didn't push through. But last weekend It was able to pushthrough although the sky was not that awesome as there was a bit of sandstorm but was able to make some decent shots. Well I'm planning to go back there when the weather is good and the sky are clear.

In an attempt to shoot Burjal Arab last weekend. Thanks to the non cooperative weather I ended up shooting this guy playing around the beach. But I did not got empty handed in shooting Burjal Arab I managed to got couple of acceptable shot. Will post it later.

We Stand Alone Together

This is the title of the latest CD of Bamboo actually released way back February but only got a copy of the CD just now courtesy of my friend Joyce who just got back from Manila.
This is a two disc album first disc is a compilation of covers of classic songs. My Favorite in this album are
"So Far Away" originally by Carole King
"Prayer for the Dying" originally by Seal
"Umagang Kay Ganda" originally by Ray Ann Fuentes and Tillie Moreno
"English Men in New York" originally by Sting.
These songs are really my favorite and I like his versions of the covers as well as he make a new turn for this songs.
The second disc was the version of their old original songs without some of the members ie Hallelujah (without Vic Mercado on drums).
If your musical taste. falls between Rock,Soul and Jazz just like me. I recommend getting a copy of this CD.

Paint

This was shot few months back since I'm showing photos shot inside my house I consider including this one. This was not exactly shot inside the house but on the garage the stack of paint was shot as is no arrangement were done on the object. Will be showing you more of this on the coming post since I've compile few pictures like this.

Heres another image I create without leaving the four corners of my room this time I used some push pins that I found in my drawer use my table as background but now with a little help of bounce flash to illuminate my subject and to bring some more color to it.

Spell Check

Talking about checking your spelling in your signage.

This portrait was shot Last December during the Hot Air Baloon Festival in Dubai we are about to wrap up our shoot for that day when we came across this guy. When he saw our camera he posed in front of his which we took the oppurtunity and shot few frames. This is my favorite on this batch.
