Last February 10, 2013, PhotoWalk PhotoTalk held a free photo walk during the celebration of Chinese lunar new year 2013.  Amateur photographers who took the 1 on 1 Digital Photography Tutorials captured action in the streets of Binondo, Metro Manila.

Next stop is Earth Hour 2013 Photo walk. But before that, we are going to have FREE Low Light Photography Tutorials in preparation for Earth Hour.  And that's on March 10, 2013 in Quezon Memorial Circle. Stay tune for updates.

Shell Helix Slalom 2013

March 3, 2013 - On my way to the grocery,  I heard cars engine roared and squealing tires.  I followed the sound and revealed the Shell Helix slalom event in Robinson's Novaliches parking area.  I tried to sneak and took some photographs of speeding rides.

It's Like Deja Vu

September 14, 2012.  An old woman was getting ready to get off a passenger jeep.

When I'm on my way to work, I always get my mobile phone ready to capture interesting scenes of the streets.

Last September 14, 2012, I took a photo of an old lady getting ready to get off a passenger jeep.  Five months later,  February 1, 2013, I once again saw the same elder sitting on the same spot, wearing the same jacket and holding the same bag.

It is like deja vu.

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.
