One fine photo whoring session!

Last Saturday, as I was waiting for our photographer (for our Prenup: Part 3) outside our house, I decided to hold up my camera and shoot whatever my lenses would reach. Well, I've been a practicing or should I say, still on *learning stages* of Photography. And sadly, my equipment right now is not capable of producing panoramic & picturesque of every single detail (kahit na it's not a point-and-shoot type, still it lacks somehow of various features that I'm really looking for). In short, all the features are purely M-A-N-U-A-L. What I usually do is to just edit the shots using either Fireworks (which is no damn good for me, kasi naghahang palage!) or Photoshop.

However, I already got tired of editing photos...I want shots that are dramatic, impressive & spectacular as it is...no edits...no modifications...none whatever! *Wut to do, yani?!?* No more *moolah* to shell out for an upgrade...so I had no choice but to practice manual focus...with my Sony Cybershot DSC-H2...sniff!sniff!sniff! (thanks for my initiative to read...read...and read!) Well, these are the outputs...and purely, these are unedited...hooray! (Been practicing DOF, FL & aperture for weeks...now I'm a *bit* satisfied -- only a bit, okay? hehehe....). Tell me watchathink?! (The descriptions are below the corresponding pictures...)
My first attempt...using f/2.8 (my largest aperture)

Now, I tried to adjust it to f/3.5 (next largest aperture), still with no flash...

I was captured by this shot! Noticed the branch in front? It's a little blurred, right? And the rear detail...? It's blurred also, right? My focus point is the plant in the middle! PERFECT!

Just another PERFECT shot! a shallow DOF! hehehe...sorrrryyyy for my subjects...total nonsense...but these are just practice outputs...oks lang...easy easy muna...

Yep...they're bad...after smoking, they tend to throw the butts here...baaaaddddd!

Then, we headed towards Jumeirah Beach Park and Madinat Jumeirah to do our final prenup. In between takes, I was able to shoot few sceneries nang patakas, hahaha...pasaway talaga kay direk, ehehehe....Here are the samples:

Uyy, this was my shot while running...no camera shakes..pwede na rin ang shutter speed! oha!



sumasideline lang ng shot while having prenup...

So that's it...tell me watchathink!!!
