Mobile Photography EXIFs on Flickr.com

Once you've click on a photo in flickr.com, you can see a three circle icon on the lower right side of your computer screen.  Click on the icon and and choose View Exif info and it will bring you to the Exif page.

Flickr.com completely changed its website design making the interface, buttons, icons layout and features having the new look.  Last time I blogged about Flickr's EXIF data, specially when viewing your smartphone's EXIFs.  I wondered what camera settings my Samsung GT-S3353 using every time I take a picture. Unlike other smartphones, you can view apertures and shutter speeds  settings using an app.  I uploaded an image to Flickr.com after editing in Photoshop.  It was unexpected, but the EXIF data appeared.  

If you signed up or view an image on Flickr, you can see the Exif data by default.  Some photographers chose not to share their Exifs, so sorry, you can't see it.  To see the Exif data click on the link of camera, mobile phone or scanner used to capture an image.

Once you are in the Exif page, you can see basic camera settings like aperture and shutter speed.  The image above is converted to black and white using Photoshop which also appear under Exif data / Software.

BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY. May 2010, I start teaching individuals basic and advance digital photography lessons. Tutorials actually. Six hours of understanding how the DSLR work, how it thinks, how to use its features more efficient and how to create images you've been dreaming.  

   Experience, explore and appreciate! 

STOP using Your DSLR 
         like a Point and Shoot!
     START creating images 
               YOU'VE been Dreaming.

Get Ready, Get Set

Learn different camera techniques, tricks, and tweaks . 

Aperture  Is the opening of your lens. It controls the light coming in your camera and controls the depth of field.  Shot with an inverted 50mm prime lens.

    

Ant Attacks - Wide apertures creates shallow depth-of-field. 

Banaue Rice Terraces - Small apertures or lens openings create deep focus or deep depth-of-field.

Shutter Speed Slow shutter speed creates motion while fast shutter speeds freezes action shots like sports.

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."

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.

Street Photography in Intramuros - Amazing textures, patterns, perspectives and people to photograph.

The Pier, The Beach, The Bay - Children

cools on hazardous waters of Manila Bay.

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.

NOW, It's Your Turn

to Take the BIG PICTURE!

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject.

The little human detail can became a leitmotif.
