Killer Eyes



"A Shot taken during the 2007 Fluvial parade at cagayan de oro river"

I dont know whats in the eyes of the children
why i love taking pictures of their faces..
I can sense a great emotions on their faces.

" Accidental Shot" Window of emotions




Dala dala ko sa araw araw ang camera ko..
misan kasi manghinhinayang ka pag may nakita kang magandang kunan tapos wala kang dalang camera

kaya ako makalimutan nang lahat wag lang ang camera ko

ang photograph sa taas ay kuha ko sa isang elemtary school dito sa cagayan de oro habang papunta ako sa isang tindahan...

kaya kinuha ko agad ang camera ko sa bag ko upang kunan ang
mga tawa at halakhak ng mga bata sa bintana

di ko mapigilan sa pagsulyap sa mga gawa
ni sir manny,,... talagang mamamangha ka
sa tuwing makikita mo sa mga kuha na

Alam niya kung saan nang gagaling ang ilaw
at alam niya pano palabasin ang kulay
sa bawat angulo niya...

kay saludo ako sayo pinoy

"Words that Lift's me Up"

"Words that Lift's me Up"

" Photography should not come from your head but it should come from your heart" Manny librodo

"Anybody can take pictures but not everyone can make image" Jay Tablante Fashion photographer

"Not everybody appreciates what you do, but I’ll tell the same thing to anybody --- don't be scared, it's what you want to present, you are not doing this for them but you are showing how you visualize a photo. Whatever floats your boat or make you happy, do it. You will be your worse critique. You will also learn from expanding your horizons and not limiting yourself to how others should see your photo." Parc cruz Creative portrait photographer

"Photoshop "




" You can edit your photograph but you cannot edit nor enhance the emotion of your subject" dusteinsibug

Kaliwa at kanan na ang na rerecieve ko na comment sa mga tao, but wala akong magagawa dyan dahil alam ko na hindi lahat nang tao magugustuhan ang ginagawa ko (my editing style). at tangap ko yan..at alam ko na ito ang gusto kong gawin

Pero may ibang mga taong hindi na komento ang binabato kundi insulto..

Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa kanila.
" You can edit your photograph but you cannot edit nor enhance the emotion of your subject"

sa tuwing kumukuha ako ng picture sinisigurado ko na nakukuha ko na ang emosyon na gusto kong kunin, kaya sa mga bumabato sa akin well dito ko kayo tatalunin,,,,,
"dahil para sa akin ang totoong picture ay hindi sa kagalingan ng technical aspect kundi sa kagandahan ng mensahe at puso ng litrato"


My inspiration " Manny Librodo"

nice compo dust! abi nako kang Manny Librodo. ;)
But i neglected this comment....


a month later i saw this name again in one of the photography site
kaya dun na ko nagtaka,
when I open his pbase gallery,,,,.... i simply said to myself "Wow" and speechless
Manny librodo is a World renowned Portrait and photographer
Another thing about the "Edge" of Manny is his Editing style....
wow. Try to search his name in the engine and it will give you houndred of links

I Simply Love the Work of manny i love all his portraits and his "editing style"
and i was very happy because Sir Manny is sharing me his knowledge through emails...
And hindi makakapaniwala na si sir manny ay nag comment sa photo ko sa pbase
I should thank that kind of person who believes na ang picture ay hindi dapat magaling sa teknikalitis, he believe that a good Photographis the one that comes from the heart

I love Aperture Priority

Now that i have My Nikon d40 DSLR Camera
Most of the time I use the aperture priority
Ba't ka magpapakahirap mag correct ng exposure.. na meron namang madaling option,,,

And i love f/5.6 most of my shots areusing this aperture,,, coz i love to blur things that are not included in my subject..Ahehehehe

And i use only the exposure bias to control the exposure....

"Not depth of feild but depth of feeling"



" Not depth Of Feild but depth of Feeling"

"Abi nimo bai tsada kayo ang karaang kamera na Manual kay maka pa blur ka sa imong background" Said my friend Christian Caina.Dito na nagsimula ang interest to sa photography, "Yes'" it all started with that 'Depth Of feild" idea. (the depth of field (DOF) is the distance in front of and beyond the subject that appears to be in focus.).

The Following weeks i bought a point and Shoot Fujifilm camera. ( "im starting to waste my money because of my curiosity about DOF" ahehehehe)
Wala may klaro ang mga point and shot camera kay dili man ka maka pa blur blur

The following month i bought my first SLR CAMERA. Its a 1940 H1a 35mm Pentax SLR Camera for only 1300 pesos.....
"Napakadumi ng camera, Foggy pa ang viewfinder, pero sabi ko ok nato"

For almost 3 months using my SLR... wala pa ring lumalabas na image sa film ko.....dahil overexpose at underexpose mga shots ko.
siguro mahigit sa 5000 ang nagasto ko bago ma correct ang exposure ko......
and i spent 3 months sa xavier university Library para lang magbasa ng libro about photography.
nakalimutan ko na nga ang Analytic Geometry at ang Differential Equation ko na mga subject.

At dun na pumasok sa utak ko na mag lipat ng kurso
Now Im A DevComm Student.

But later ive realized that it is not about the depth of feild but its about the depth of feeling
