Go Out, Get Exposed!
Photography is about light, from the word it self; photography, is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) "light" and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light"(Thanks Wikipedia!)
Go out, expose yourself to different light conditions and understand light. Feel the heat, rain, feel nature, loud streets, experience and appreciate. Photography is not only about using special features of your camera and techniques, it is more on capturing emotions, memories, and expressing yourself.
"Images are not about dynamic range and megapixels.
They're about stories and moments."
-Chase Jarvis
PhotoWalk PhotoTalk
Enjoy taking pictures during a photo walk on your favorite spots in Metro Manila or locations out of town.
Historical Intramuros in Manila is one of the beautiful spot for photography. The walled city is known for its ancient structures ruined by war and famous churches like San Agustin Church and Manila Cathedral, the Calesa, streets made of bricks and golf course for scenic landscape photography. Intramuros is not only old school stuff, I love taking pictures of the graffiti of various tagging crews in the Metro.

Bay Walk Photo Walk
Yes, from Luneta, take photos of children flying kites, family on a picnic, the Rizal monument and the soldiers standing for hours on guard. On the Bay walk, capture fishermen sorting the catch of the day, vendors on business, locals rendering a massage, lovers on a economy date, tourists, sky scape, sea scape, city scape and one of the world's beauty and best Manila Bay sunset. From CCP at night, experience Manila city lights and night life that can be seen on a spot from the Yacht Club.
Fantastic MOA Fireworks! SM Mall of Asia have different subjects for photography and you wont even mind guards prohibit you from taking pictures because of security reasons. (From my experience.) Photo walk in MOA on a Saturday is a great experience not only they held lots of events, you have the chance to take great images of the 7pm fireworks display.
