First Try on Concert Photography

January Zelene 12:35 AM Concert Photography 1 comment

Yehey! I finally selected some from the 4GB full of RAW concert photos, my first try on concert photography.

My best friend Nice invited me to a concert featuring two (2) of our country’s popular band, Bamboo and Sugarfree last September 28, 2009.

A good as free concert sponsored by Globe Tattoo because all the audience did was to buy a new Globe Tattoo Sim at P45.00, waited for the sim confirmation and viola! a free pass. (That is why the gymnasium was full of spectators especially college students.)

But in my case I didn’t have to buy a tattoo SIM, I had a free VIP pass too! Well it is because of my friend LOL. Thanks Nice! Mwah!

Here’s some of my choice as best shots I had during the event.

First Installment - BAMBOO

Too bad I wasn’t able to position my self near the stage. I could have gotten a better close-up shots. huh!

Love to hear comments/critics from all of you!

Thanks & Enjoy!

Mellow Yellow Monday # 1 - Favorite Hibiscus

I was looking into my files for a yellow flower to be posted as my first share on

Mellow Yellow Monday, but it seems that I have posted already most of it.

(huh! I sure do need to explore more and take photographs of anything under the sun.)

So since I can’t find any, I just have to pick up from my previous post a yellow hibiscus.

I makes me happy to always look back on this very vibrant colored flower that I luckily shot at Zamboanga City.

I love the color, I love yellow!

Hope you like it too.

My share today is a very spectacular Brazilian beauty flowering plant that is quite abundant around the world and popularly known as Bougainvillea.

Bougainvillea is said to have been discovered in 1768 in Brazil. It has thorny shrubby vines that grow from 1 – 12 meters tall. The blooms that we know are not true flowers but papery bracts that surround the cluster of three small white tubular flowers

So here are two the abundant Bougainvillea species that I had photographed in Cagayan de Oro Botanical Garden.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

My First Skywatch Friday

Hello Everyone! I just came back from a 2-day seminar held at our company’s headquarters in Metro Manila.

Oooopss! I was able to make a few EC drops but wasn’t able to write a post yet until now because I have to prepare my report since it’s already Friday, my busiest day at work. I’d prepared my travel reimbursement documents also, so that makes me a very very busy bee today.

But anyways, here’s some of recap of what I did in Metro Manila. Hmmm let me see, I attended a seminar/workshop on Quality Management System Documentation Development my main purpose, an 8am to 5pm hectic activity.

After 5pm on Wednesday I was able to meet my friends and had long chit chat about everything. They updated me on the latest happenings since the day I left head office a year ago until yesterday.

Huh! I missed those days living on the busiest city in the Philippines, I missed my friends there and I felt so happy that I was able to see them again even on a shortest time.

*******

I came across a site called "Skywatch Friday" that features different faces of sky, I was curious and started reading and exploring the site. Skywatch Friday is a place where you can enjoy the beauty of the skies captured from around the globe.

Here's my first share, a wooden electrical tower stands mightily under the blue sky.

I took this photo just outside our office @ Iligan City, Philippines.

The sky is beautiful here in our province in Mindanao while North Luzon in suffering from heavy rain brought by typhoon Pepeng. May the Lord, help our countrymen who are affected so that they can surpass this calamity, this trial.
