July 6th, 2011One Shot A Day

I’ve promised myself to take one photo a day  this month, before I leave for the “greener pasture.” Nothing extraordinary, but it’s just a personal project to take shots of the simple things that would remind me of this month. I’m still trying with diferrent subject every day and so far I’ve fairly made some shots although I have not done so daily in the past few days.

But yes, I’m trying. It’s just that sometimes I feel like I just want to use a point-and-shot just like the Exilim EX-H20G for this personal project. I’m having a bit difficulty with my DSLR at times  due to its bulk. Since I’m always on the go, the weight and size just get in the way sometimes. Nonetheless, I hope to accomplish this self-imposed task before I leave home.

Good morning world! :-)

I’m so inspired to do some photo processing today in CS3. Right, I already installed Photoshop in my lappie and I couldn’t be happier. I have installed my favorite actions for faster post-processing.

Today, however, I wanted to try some textures similar to the rusty metal buildings of some warehouses near my place. Am browsing the net for downloadable textures similar to this at the moment.

I’m searching the ff sites:

Photoshop Textures
Free 60 Hi-res Textures
25 Textures by DesignRiver

Wish me luck,okay.

January 4th, 2011Eeeeeeeee!

December was a major fattening month. Yikes! Can’t help it really. Left and right, up and down, there were parties, parties and parties. And in this side of the globe, parties equate to foods. It would really be torture not to eat when you are facing a sumptuous and tempting feast. Not to mention a bit rude.

And then when there is no party, there would be little temptations such as this:

*sigh*sigh* The effect: my sister, who is getting married this year, is now looking for ways in how to reduce belly fat. Desperately. Me, everyday, I’m giving myself a peptalk on acceptance and inner beauty. Lol. That’s all I can do to feel better at the moment.

Want to tweak your photo in a flash? Go visit photofunia.com. It’s an online site where you can get easy and fun edits with your photo, and quickly at that.  You simply upload a photo, choose the treatment or style you want and voila!  

I have yet to try other sites that offer the same fun stuff so I cannot make comparison but I’m quite satisfied with the instant post-processing I can get from Photfunia.

That’s my short review for now, off to read some anti aging product reviews.

I was checking some of my old posts today when I noticed that I failed to include a photo of a Kumon workbook I reviewed previously. So here it is:

Just thought of sharing a pic of the pool of Marco Polo Hotel in Davao City. I totally love the lighting of the place, courtesy of those underwater lights setup in the pool. Love how the light changes every now and how it illuminates the pool area, making it look magical.

Forgive me if I didn’t do justice with all that. I would have preferred to take one of those long exposure shots but I unwittingly forgot to bring my tripod so I just made do with what I had then. *smile*

Speaking of photos, I have the opportunity to view sample photos made by a Naples photographer, and I’m inspired. The wedding pics are awesome!
