Friday night, March 30, 2007 -- We went to Dubai Festival City...this newly-built shopping mall is simply amazing!!! Not only that you can find Sweden's No.1 home store, IKEA..but also, you'll find this shopping mall amusing because of its magnificent interiors!!! I sooo love this shopping mall. Early last year (I think), IKEA started its operations in DFC (one of the 1st stores to open in DFC)...syempre di namin pinalagpas...almost every month, we see to it that we visit IKEA...but now, natapos na ang construction ng halos 80% of DFC...lots of boutiques...yey! Let me share some of the pictures that I took...
So far, I'm quite satisfied with my outputs since this is my 1st time to shoot in low light scene without much blur on my shots...please give me a well-deserved applause for that! yiheee...clap!clap!clap! For the previous months, everytime I shoot in low light scenes, I just feel disgusted with my outputs...either I throw those away or process those in Photoshop. I usually translate it to a monochromatic scene just to hide the blurs...but now, look at me, hahaha...most of the pictures above are unedited (setting aside the signature). But still, I know, I have much, much, much, much rooms for improvement. Next assignment...control the light rays...that's the next thing I will master...and one more thing: THE COURAGE to shoot in prohibited areas (e.g., inside the stores & boutiques)...--> I have lots of shots inside IKEA, Hyper Panda, Naturalizer, Lacoste, etc..but ended up throwing out the pictures...too much blurrrrrrrrr....probably because of my trembling hands, hehehe! Just a backgrounder, I always get caught by guards everytime I position my camera for the last few shoots I've been to...(sigh!)

i suggest you get yourself a nice sturdy tripod. madami available dyan for a cheap price or if you want a really good one kaso medyo heavy, check out manfrotto tripods and monopods at salam studios in wafi city.
this will help you in low light conditions especially when taking night shots. as far as moving freely for shots, well, ISO is a big help - increase it one stop higher always and see the difference. the higher the ISO, the more grainy kaya dont go over 800.
thanks...actually, I have a tripod na..but I don't bring it that often especially for cases that "photo shoot" is not our ultimate motive...hehehe...nagsa-sideline lang minsan kumbaga..hehehe...sayang!
medyo wary din kasi ako sa ISO...most of my shots are grainy nga...kaya minsan, til 200 lang ako, hehehe. Next time, medyo mas taasan ko pa...thanks!
...and nga pala, I don't have enough moohla to buy manfrotto tripods..hehehe... =)
