as i've always told people who want to get into the hobby.

"wala sa camera yan, nasa mata ng photographer."

as for your b/w you have two choices, a) you can do an in-camera b/w setting or post process, usage of an image editor to do your b/w conversion.

deejay: welcome back!

the first two pics are good. i'd say it's a big improvement from your previous shots! pero ibaba mo lang yung watermark, medyo distracting.

sana nga matuloy...

stratoclapton nice shot man. may i suggest that you post about 3 at a time so that we may appreciate them.

I just received an email coming from a french magazine showing interest in my photos for publication, can't reveal the details yet as details are still being discussed..... crossing my fingers.

Movement in Rock Major

Taken last year. I'm not sure if I have posted this one..

MILF-lover

sana wala yung naka red na shirt sa 1st pic. unless of course hindi pwede makontrol.

ok ang 2nd pic. minsan kasi talaga hindi nakikisama ang ulap. reminds me of those poster na may inspirational quotations.

Nice work!

cute nga siya, yes. but her skin tone is not very nice. try to look at her cheeks.

skin tone is quite hard to judge when you're looking at different monitors. my monitor's calibration might be different from what you are using.

Just paying it forward.

 

As for your pic:

 

sir, di ko masyado maintindihan kung ano yung subject dahil malabo. medyo i-focus ng konti yung subject or layo ka ng konti para mas makapagfocus ang camera. minsan kasi mas magandang gamitin ang paa natin para mag zoom-in at mag-zoom out kaysa sa zoom ng camera. shoot lang ng shoot! sabi nga nila rakenrol!

paki komentuhan nga po. salamats. sir benjie nbasa ko mga payo mo. naway mdami ka pang ipayo d2 sa thread.

Just paying it forward.

thanks pnoize. i thought i can get a way with 'messy hair' shot, as its intentional. looks like i cannot.

 

communication... noted sir. thanks for the comments and pointers pnoize.

hey, no problem. can't wait to see your next shoot

I agree with nooblet here. I'm very particular of where the hair is placed to the point that I ask the stylist to move there hair where I want it or I ask the model to do it for me or at times I move the "lost" strand of hair myself.

I also see that the model has the tendency to slouch a bit. Try making her aware of it.

But what's important is that you and the model had fun during the shoot!

Sori for the late reply compadre, some of my classmates told me hu recently bought there 350d for 32thou at quiapo.But i'll never reco anyone to buy there better buy at the Canon shops just to be sure. 400d cost just 42thou na lang maybe u cud check out Canon shops. I bought my 350d @ Canon dzone SM northedsa last june for 36thou.telling you bro it's a good investment msakit lang sa bulsa sa una.

Actually, there are shops there that are reputable and give out the same warranties as the ones in the malls. Quiapo, through the help of photographer John Chua has become a photographer's haven. You can basically find almost any equipment you might require for your shoots in quiapo. In fact, most professional photographers buy their stuff at the shops in Quiapo.

jix: nice pics. i like the second one better.

guys, ano magandang software sa pc ang pwedeng gamitin para mag ayos ng mga photo? especially yung may mga added efx? ike black and white tsaka yung pwede mag tanggal ng blur pag nag shot ka na? thanks

photoshop is the industry standard for post processing or pang-ayos ng pics. maraming filters na nagkalat sa internet for PS.

Pa post ng pics.

 

I welcome comments para maimprove shots ko.

Ganda nito. Galing ng laro sa shadows

pnoize,

The shots I posted were taken with my D70s. As for the Hassie, well... I figured it would be a novelty item for me at the moment. Maybe I should invest in a bigger lineup of lenses for my Nikon system and try to land jobs that can eventually pay for a brand new hasselblad instead of a used one Thanks for appreciating my work too

You got my support on this decision. :cool:

salamat sa comments!

nooblet: nice work! did you ever get the hassie?

Sauteed Chili Shrimps

Canon EOS 400D is 45k with the kit lens.

add another 5k for the 50mm f/1.8 II

You cant go wrong with that combo

I agree with this suggestion. The 50mm f1.8 is a very nice cheap lens that can give you very nice depth of field and the ability to shoot in low light situations.

pnoize,

 

Someone beat me to that particular mamiya

 

There is another one going for about 19k. 90mm f3.5 and a 6x4.5 (YUCK) back. (would have wanted the original 6x7) its a RB67 Pro-SD and it looks good too.

 

I found also a Hasselblad 500 c/m for 45k. It comes with a 6x6 back and an 80mm f2.8 Zeiss 2x coat

 

What would you get? :-s

at that price, i'd go for the hassie!

pnoize2k4,

 

Mamiya 2nd hand is about 20k with about 3 lenses and a prism finder.

9k for a tripod

9k for a meter and Im set.

 

any other suggestions?

 

A Hassie 503CM is about 90k for the kit second hand.

While I will always drool for a Hassie, practicality tells me to go with the Mamiya. Since it already goes with 3 lenses. 90k is a bit too much for me for a film camera. With all that was offered to you, 38K and your set!

Wow naman, adik.

 

I passed by at hidalgo last week and damn, isang kalye na puro camera at photo labs ang maikikita mo. It was my first time and I am overwhelmed sa dami ng cameras! May Yashica, may seagull, nikon, pentax, etc. ang dami, gusto ko pa naman makabili ng TLR pero for display purposes lang at di nila binebenta, bummer.

I've got a working TLR, a Rolleicord III. Had to search the net for a manual on how to use it. Medyo nakakadisorient at first pero you get used to it. I like the DOF on the Rolleicord and I like how it teaches you to be patient to get the right shot. Dito ko rin nagamit ng husto yung lightmeter ko.
