Happy Kids

At first I thought this kids were really hard to get when taking a picture of them but when I approached them, they were all very happy and excited. I never had a hard time capturing their smiles because they were all cooperative during the shoot. Thanks to this kids, they are very wonderful! ☺

Portrait: Luc

Let’s just say, I really like this photo of my girlfriend. One of my quality portraits shot, I think. But yeah, no bias at all, I really like this photo. I did a bit of an edit here specially with the light condition and all in all, this photo is perfect. Took this photo at the seashore at the back of their house.

Naval Central Elementary School Celebrating Buwan ng Wika

Buwan ng Wika was celebrated by the students of Naval Central Elementary School last Friday, August 27, 2010. My cousin is a student from that institution and is in Grade 3 now. She and her classmates will be dancing a Batangueño Cultural Dance that afternoon. Prior to the program, I took a chance of taking pictures of the kids at the school. Some are wearing tribal costumes like that in Ifugao. That afternoon was full of fun for the kids who's celebrating the Buwan ng Wika. Some groups are dancing, there are kids modeling the different costumes of localities in the Philippines and some are singing Original Pinoy Music (OPM). Almost all of the kids there are in their colorful costumes and I thought that it might be a great chance for me to practice capturing pictures of people. The picture on the left is a photo of two kids trying to fix their Barong Tagalog, the National Dress of the Philippines for men. The picture below is my cousin performing her dance moves on stage partnered by my other cousin.

Baby Portrait

This photo was taken outside the Church of Tanauan, Leyte after the burial of my Lola. I already seen this baby for how many times during the wake of my Lola but just I only had a single moment to take a picture of her. She's very cute and maybe it'd be good to share her portrait shot here in my blog. I didn't had a chance of asking for her name but I hope soon, when she'll be old enough to view my blog, she'll appreciate this photo that I took.

Portrait: Julianne

I know I don't have my cousin's consent in putting this picture into my blog but I think this is an art of portrait photography. This is my first "guinea pig" in making portrait shots. I am still on the process of shooting portrait photos and still needs to practice. Even the post-processing part. I hope I'll learn a lot in this photo-journey.
