Afternoon shoot with Rhea

October 28, 2009

Rhea and I have long discussed about a second pictorial. Honestly, I wanted to redeem myself after our first in which I didn’t do justice.  So on Wednesday afternoon, I picked up my bags and headed to her apartment. It’s been a while since I shot some portraits. Glad to get my feet wet again. Here are some shots at the rooftop.

Rhea! Thanks for the opportunity! Let’s shoot your friends next! :)

For equipment geeks out there. Here’s the stuff I brought into play for this shoot- Nikon D80, Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8, Nikon SB-800, white shoot-through umbrella, CTR-301 wireless trigger/receiver.

My Camera Chronicles

October 22, 2009

Here’s a very nerdy post about my personal camera history. But I’m gonna blog about it anyway. You wouldn’t mind reading a blog post over a bland trip down memory lane, would ya?

It was just recently that I tried to recall my “camera body” memories. So just to put it on record, here’s a personal post about me and my cameras. Not a very ROCKIN* post but-

ANYWAY, first, there was this: A Canon AE-1 film camera. It was my dad’s though. He bought it when I was around 10 years old during one of his trips to Hong Kong. But I remember I was only able to shoot with it when I was 19 when it was already gathering dust in a forgotten corner of our house.

I was 14 when I first mentioned about taking photography as a hobby. Since the digital photography age hasn’t kicked in yet during that time, I was discouraged to pursue such an expensive hobby that required expensive equipment and photo developing expenses. I was a student then and I had no money.
I bought my very first compact digital camera with my meager savings while working abroad. I felt like I could go places with my beloved point-and-shoot camera. Sadly, the gagdet broke down twice and I never was able to get it repaired to this day.F
