Low Light Digital Photography Tuts!

Have you ever heard about Earth Hour?  Earth Hour is the single, largest, symbolic mass participation event in the world.  Earth Hour inspires a global community of millions of people to switch lights off for an hour as a massive show of concern for the environment.

Since Earth Hour 2011 I started following and covering Earth Hour events in the Philippines.  This 2013, I like to share my experience taking pictures of Earth Hour.  And actually, PhotoWalk PhotoTalk is going to Earth Hour on March 23, 2013.  Earth Hour Philippines have not announced the actual venue for the event, but eventually we'll know.

Before the main event, on the 10th day of March 2013, 5pm, lets meet in Quezon Memorial Circle for a PhotoWalk PhotoTalk discussing how to take images in low lit situations.  We'll talk about camera settings to use in the field.  We are going to have actual candle light portraits.  Participants is encourage to bring a white candle for props.  If you wish to join, SMS me: 09274685324 only those who confirmed by a text message is allowed to join.

I hope to see you this March 10, 2013, 5pm.

Cheers!

Wait.  I forgot to tell you that this tutorial is FREE!

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.
