Before the summer ended I went back to the abandoned building at Betty-Go Belmonte station to do another fashion shoot. Better watch out for the crowbar or get hit. </h3>

Since it's June and the humid and bright summer just recently left, I figure to do a shoot before the rain starts plowing the streets of Manila. On top of that I haven't done a fashion shoot for a long time and I really do miss doing it since *insert shitty excuses because of day jobs and sleep deprivation* —and that is why I miss it a lot.<br />
<br />
For this particular shoot I asked the help of <a href="http://peevzy27.tumblr.com/">Peevee</a> (our lovely model) and Jay-lee who is an amazing HMUA to bring these ideas of mine to life. The concept here is about this strong, brazen and tough woman, in short a badass crowbar-wielding woman. A type of woman who despite of the bruises she doesn't ever f*cking back down off a fight.<br />

For this particular shoot I used the tried and test <a href="http://neverstopshooting.blogspot.com/2012/07/godox-ex600-first-dibs.html">Godox light</a> with a not-so-parabolic umbrella since it's off-centered, along with two of my speedlights. I'm planning to add more lights on my future shoots and hopefully pull off a McNally type of setup. If you guys know a decent speedlite or a portable flash head that is not too expensive and can dish out some nice amount of light just let me know!</div>

I'm having a great week and hopefully it will end that way. Last Sunday we did a shoot at an abandoned building in Betty Go Belmonte and just this evening I took some photos during the Labor Day demonstrations at Mendiola.</h3>

Last Sunday we asked Art whose our colleague at work to be our model for our latest shoot. We did the shoot in an abandoned building near the Betty Go Belmonte LRT station. It was freaking hot and everyone was sweating by the bucket, but that did not deter us from going around one area after the other taking photos.<br />

Art was awesome and despite the grime and puddles of water left by the rain during the morning, he didn't mind doing some poses for us. He even climb up the ledge using a ladder that could snap any minute.<br />

I only took a few photos since I'm not really familiar with that area and I was ill prepared that time. I don't even have an idea of a pose nor a story that I could do but what the hell right? Just kidding. Don't do that! Going on a shoot without an idea of what you are going to do and what you want is dumb and wasteful.<br />

For this year's photos I was supposed to bring my CD-R King flash and try to do the same thing that I did during the<a href="http://neverstopshooting.blogspot.com/2012/06/114th-independence-day-day-worth-of.html"> 114th Independence Day</a>. But I after giving much of a thought I decided not to because I don't want to draw attention and end up like the freelance photographer who almost got mobbed. Instead I opted to just shooting using a wide lens which presented a challenge because I have to get really close to the subject that I'm photographing.<br />

Anyway, everything ended out well despite the fact that my camera (and my face) almost melted because I was shooting close to the burning effigy. I'm thinking for next year I should maybe do a triptych or I could follow a person for the whole day.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06491755094286325010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834639540541648670.post-53180668141296601742013-04-12T17:00:00.000-07:002013-04-13T00:02:13.981-07:00Long Overdue: Stef & Carol's Portraits<h3>

I'm not being lazy here, it's just that I have been working on a shitload of things to the point that I have to put some stuff on the backseat. Anyway, it feels really great to finally ticked off some of it on my work checklist. I could go back on my other art projects sooner than I expected. Hopefully I get to finish everything before May ends since I'm planning to do bigger art projects by the start of June. Anyhow I think it is about time to cut the crap and let's get on with this post.</div>
<br />
It all started a million years ago (I'm just exaggerating here), my colleague George and I hatched a plan to ask our colleagues at work to model for us. George asked around and luckily we got Stef for the first session. Despite our crazy schedules we managed to pull off the first shoot with at UP Diliman. The first shoot was followed a few weeks after with Carol at Parks and Wildlife. Both sessions are shot using a 50mm lens both at f2.8 and was lit with a <a href="http://neverstopshooting.blogspot.com/2012/07/godox-ex600-first-dibs.html">Godox EX600</a> the only difference is the light modifiers that was used.<br />
<br />
For Stef I used my 48-inch parabolic umbrella which was in no way parabolic since the umbrella shaft is not in the middle. Even so, I love how the light just wraps around her but to be honest I really had a tough time working with an umbrella outdoors for some odd reason.<br />

<br />
Still using the Godox 600EX in Carol's photo below. I used my trusty 90x60cm Phottix softbox instead of using the parabolic umbrella. The light is much more controlled but it lacks the wrapping power because of it's size and distance to Carol. The last photo is different from the set since I just used a reflector to bounce the light back to her. Since I rarely do that style I have decided to give it a try and I am not disappointed with it.<br />

I know, I still have tons of practice to do in terms of lighting my subjects but I'm understanding it way more better now ever since I've started reading Joe McNally's book. Hopefully on the next shoot I will be able to try some of what I've learned in action.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'd like to thank both of the lovely ladies Stef and Carol for being awesome and game to be our subjects. Also props to guys George, Paeng and Sir John! Let's do another session soon.

<h3 style="text-align: start;">
For this year's Holy Week (or <i>People-Trying-To-Be-Holy-For-A-Few-Days</i> as I call it) the family has decided to ditch the usual 5-day <i>staycation</i> and do something that we haven't done for quite some time. We visited Mindoro, dad's hometown and half of my origins.</h3>
<br />

To be perfectly honest, I haven't shot anything in Mindoro at all so I am half giddy and half doubtful while thinking of what to shoot there. To make matters worst, I never did some research on the interesting places to visit, great eats and amazing beach fronts (but then again all of these are closed). Thankfully Mindoro has the Moriones (<i>More-yons</i>) Festival that they annually celebrate during Holy Week. According to Wikipedia (because I'm lazy to paraphrase and type) <i>"The Moriones is an annual festival held on Holy Week on the island of Marinduque, Philippines. The "Moriones" are men and women in costumes and masks replicating the garb of biblical Roman soldiers as interpreted by local folks. The Moriones or Moryonan tradition has inspired the creation of other festivals in the Philippines where cultural practices or folk history is turned into street festivals"</i> Sure, Marinduque is the originator of the said festival but I do believe that Mindoro's version of the Morion is more of contemporary and has more bling in it to the point that I wonder if they are still Morions or Gundams made out of diamonds *cue in Rhianna song here*.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the short but sweet vacation trip which is mostly comprised of me sleeping or eating while enduring the intense March sun. To all our lovely relatives who took us in, thank you for being such great hosts and hopefully we can return the favor once our mansion somewhere in the distant future is done.<br />
<br />
Enough with the fancy chit-chat and let's get on with the photographs.<br />

I kind of realize that I suck as a sports photographer and would probably practice that in my later years (or never at all) but for now I'm all for lifestyle, editorial, documentary and street photography.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Going back to the shoot, Momma Nikka brought along her kickass long board which she recently bought and skated around the campus. The weather was perfect for a shoot because it was sunny with a touch of cool breeze. I'm planning to go back again at UP Diliman soon and drag a couple of friends along.<br />
<br />
Anyway enough chit-chat here are my favorite snaps.<br />

I find the last image to be my most favorite because it's very laid back vibe and I think the image is also perfect to usher in the summer season. Cheers to Momma Nikka and to all the good stuff that 2013 is going to give to us since we worked hard for it and good luck to all your plans for this year.<br />

A Hungarian artist who did a lot of creative work like making sculptures, films, drawing and above all photography. Brassaï first worked as a journalist for a Hungarian newspaper but later moved to Paris wherein he stayed there for all his life.<br />

Most of Brassaï's photographs are captured around Paris because he fell in love with the city and because he loved it so much he often wander late in the evening so that he could capture the beauty of Paris by night. </div>

Most of his photographs feature Parisians enjoying their time inside the pub down to the brothels and prostitutes of Paris. Brassaï even photographed some of the most famous artists such as Dali, Picasso and Henri Matisse. Brassaï also went to America and took photographs there. What is amazing is Brassaï's photographs around Paris is that he was able to capture the beauty and the darkness Parisian night life in intimate details.<br />

2012 has been both a good and a bad year for me in terms of photography work. Good because I believe that I have improved at least, acquired new gear, got heaps of books and learned new things. Bad because I wasn't able to shoot that much unlike 2011. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now that 2012 is coming to a close I would like to commemorate this one hell of a year by recollecting some of my favorite images that I have taken and the stories behind it.</div>

Jelly asked me to take photographs for her fashion thesis at their her hometown. This was shot in a corn field around 6pm or something. We didn't have any other light source here except for the flash so I have to manually focus after checking each shot. I shot a lot of frames and when I was surprised to got this sharp photo of Jelly. </div>

<b>The Squibs | February</b></div>
<br />
I had a difficult time getting this shot because the lighting setup in Headstock back then wasn't really ideal without a flash gun also I remember that The Squibs are performing <i>Indie Musician</i> in this photo and that song of theirs is sort of my anthem because doing what you love and what you are passionate about doesn't require money. Although you need money to feed it sometimes.<br />

Aliwan is a great photography avenue and I have seen a great increase of people attending the Aliwan Fiesta every since the explosion of digital photography.

This is my first time to shoot a demonstration. I learn that having an immense amount of patience is the key to good images. Truth to be told is that I almost didn't got this image because I wasn't able to catch the first batch of demonstrators and almost set to head back home, but after learning that new a group is on its way and will arrive by 4 in the afternoon (I was there 11 am) I just waited and roamed around Mendiola talking to people and fellow photographers.</div>

<b>Eric Tumbokon of Fuseboxx | December</b></div>
<br />
I am a fan of poetic photographs which in truth is hard to take. To me this photograph is a poetic one from the mirror, the dimly lit room, the faces of the people, the arched back of the musician and how the light hits him mixes very well. I also believe that this photograph captured the vibe of Fuseboxx's dark and melodic music.<br />

If there is one lesson that is prevalent with 2012, its that as a photographer I should have immense patience waiting for the right moment and once that moment comes I'd better have my finger pressing the shutter. Moments are like smoke when its out in the air it will only stay for a bit and be blown out into nothingness.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2012 has been a good year for me at the least. I gained a lot of new experiences, met new people and got into new places. As for 2013 I just wanna see how it will roll out for me but I'm generally excited for what is in store for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Happy New Year to you guys!</div>

Shooting the same exact thing again. For this shoot to be a bit different what I did is I went in close so that I could photograph half of the musician's body along with whatever there is.<br />
<br />
And these are the resulting images:<br />

I kind of like it somehow but I have to master the precise timing wherein their fingers are dancing in the fingerboard of the guitar as well as when the vocalists are playing with their hands.<br />
<br />
Of course I still took plenty of the usual stuff but this time since I now know how the lighting in Headstock works I just worked on my composition, shot a few and drank some booze.<br />

This time I'm featuring Helmut Newton which I consider to be one of my main sources of inspiration. Newton's provocative black and white photographs are often dubbed as innovative that he has become one of Vogue's mainstay photographers and acclaimed fashion photographers of his time.<br />

I couldn't help but compare Araki and Newton since both share the same penchant of mostly shooting women subjects while infusing nudity and sex in their photographs, but both photographers differ in terms of how their subjects are portrayed in the photographs.<br />

In Araki's photographs most of his subjects are bound, gag, helpless and sometimes even acting as if that they have accepted their doom. In Newton's photos his subjects are portrayed with power, elegance, cunning and knows how to use their charm in their advantage. It is safe to say that both styles are the same in terms of sensuality but is differs like night and day in terms of subject presentation.<br />

What I liked about Newton's work is his shooting style and cinematic lighting, it is as if the images are direct stills from movies. His images has enough clutter wherein people can still make sense of what is happening in his photographs much like a news or a street photograph. What is also amazing in his work is that Newton was able to keep his photographs far from the line of vulgarity and obscenity. Although I cannot say the same for the views of others but to me his work is very much of an art and must be studied further specially for those who wants to improve their photographic style.<br />

The itinerary was pretty long (we are supposed to go to Arroceros Park, Aduana and many more) but because of the inclement weather we just trimmed down the tour into two places. First was the Philippine Post Office or PhilPost and the other one was the Manila Metropolitan Theater both are situated in the Lawton area.<br />
<br />
For this shoot I challenged myself not to use my trusty wide angle lens and explore the capabilities of my nifty-fifty. At first it was tough because I am accustomed to shooting the whole scene first rather than focusing on the intimate details specially when it comes to architectural details.<br />

While waiting someone did a talk about the history of the PhilPost building. I kind of felt sad when I learned that the post office will be shut down in a few years time because they are not earning enough to keep things running. If only I had a million bucks I'd pretty much buy PhilPost and convert it into a museum slash hotel slash photographer's haven just to save this architectural beauty. The Manila Metropolitan Theater is a sadder story than the PhilPost because upon entering the building one can easily see the slow decay of a once magnificent building that was considered as the gem of the city. Some of the rooms are being restored but the thing is that the restoration is more like a repainting job instead of following what the building used to look liked a few decades ago.</div>

We concluded the tour at roof deck of the Metropolitan Theater to see a 360 degree view of Manila at sunset. It was a really great experience and definitely worth doing again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06491755094286325010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2834639540541648670.post-24868387786119094032012-12-11T05:51:00.001-08:002012-12-24T15:28:29.740-08:00Photography Inspiration: Irving PennI just recently discovered the great Irving Penn while I was researching things for a blog post at work. I was actually taken aback after seeing the photograph of the Ballet Society and the image of Lisa Fonssagrives. His images are just so powerful and poetic that it feels like the eyes of the person in his photograph is looking right at your very essence. Most of his photographs are stripped off color and elaborate backgrounds which makes his work so direct and emotionally charged.<br />

Other than being great at taking photographs of people, Irving Penn is also known to create stunning still life images. Because of Irving's background in design and layout it is no surprise that his photographs are so well thought of. He is also one of the first photographers who shoot his subjects against a plain grey or white background. It is no wonder why many find his work really inspiring that some have based their personal styles on Irving's photographs. </div>

It's awesome to see such dedicated people doing amazing things for music, most specially if you are living here in the Philippines were the mainstream music is mostly comprised of overly covered songs which are not even remotely good and neither it did justice to the original song. <br />
<br />
Anyway, time to stop this drama and get this shit down.<br />

<b>Friday:</b> Black Kath Productions' 1st Anniversary at Headstock Bar - My favorite production just celebrated it's first birthday and I wouldn't miss it out specially all the fun and good memories I had every time I attend a Black Kath gig.<br />

<b>Sunday:</b> Sunday Night Special at BKB Bar - I ended my 3 night escaped with some hard pounding, pulse raising and ear drum smashing music at BKB to see my colleague beat the hell out of the drums. In a way this gig kind of reminded me of my Maniac Monday playlist back when I was in high school (ah sweet teen angst lol).<br />

So last October 20, I head out to Autonomy Music Bar for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/blackathproductions?fref=ts">Black Kath Prod</a> gig. I really missed shooting gigs like this one. I was doubtful if I will be able to get great shots since it was my first time in Autonomy Bar, I have no idea how the lights work, space and above all I haven't shot a thing prior to this gig.</div>

Luckily the venue was pretty much well lit and all I have to do is to figure out my composition and the in-camera settings to get the shot. It took me quite sometime before I got in my groove, I badly need to shoot photos again. I feel that I'm all rusted and my shooting instinct is not that sharp anymore.</div>

I went to Ayala triangle last November 26 just to take photos and practice (again) my shooting skills. This time I challenged myself to look for or compose stories that will fit nice inside the frame. I stayed around the area for at least 3 hours before checking my camera and bumping into a really good friend of mine. </div>

Somehow the photos turned out nicely, which kind of assured me that I can still take good photos but of course I still have to re-learn photography and push my craft to somewhere it has never been to. </div>

Hi! I haven't updated this blog for quite sometime now but don't worry! I'm still shooting though not as often as before since I'm busy with work and saving up every single penny that I can manage because I'm getting myself a Google Nexus 7 (which btw is still not yet available here in RP. WTF Google!) and a new computer before the year ends (hopefully).<br />
<br />
On other notes I have a new job and this is what I <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/2012/08/28/you-be-inspired-sound-advice-from-george-lois/">do</a>, also I'm going to be a part-time teacher (I think haha) so I will be extremely busy to post new work and updates. If you happen to check my blog regularly you can check out my other <a href="http://android1014.tumblr.com/">blog</a>. This is where I just dump my visual inspirations, random musings and some other shit whether or not its related with photography.<br />
<br />
<b>Photo above:</b> I attended the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pipho.org">7th</a> year of <a href="http://www.pinoyphotography.org/">Pipho</a> which was a butt-load of fun despite not being able to win any shizznit.<br />
<br />
Peace and btw I'm sleepy as crap.

While the list is filled with A-listers in their respective industries it is inspiring (and pressuring) to know that all of them are all under 45 years old! Norman Jean Roy was the man behind the lens in this editorial shoot who is also a top dog in the fashion industry.<br />

In my opinion these images are good to go and to be honest its refreshing to see raw commercial photographs of women and most specially the models of Victoria's Secret in a raw and unedited photograph.<br />

Maybe I'm just lazy or this photographs are really good to go after tweaking the exposure on the skin just a bit and cloning away some of the blemishes. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear what you have in mind so bring those comments in. </div>

I really love his work because the his images are always stunning and clean to the very last detail. After doing my bit of research I was awed to learn that he was able to worked with the great Henri Cartier-Bresson as well as Terry Gilbert while he was building up his career. With a client list that comprises some of the biggest names in the fashion industry, Patrick Demarchelier is one hell of a fashion photographer<br />

Some are lucky (most Londoners are) to be able to watch and see the action in the flesh as they cheer for their countrymen to succeed. Press photographers are lucky as well apart from going to London while totting a humble lens to a behemoth 500mm clicking away, capturing the scenes of the Olympics they also are the first to see the and capture the passion and determination of the participants. Whilst ordinary photographers like me are still dreaming of photographing the different sporting events at London.<br />
<br />
In line of the Olympics I found some really interesting, if not outstanding editorial photographs of the hopeful athletes competing for the gold. First off is Martin Schoeller's shoot for Time Magazine, ESPN Magazine and Women's Health.<br />

Another photogorapher who did a stunning set is Simon Bruty who photographed such superb images for Getty Images and Sports Illustrated. From Tunisia to Yemen Simon Burty photographed these athletes despite the of what is currently happening to their countries. I learned about this beautiful set while watching CNN's The Brief with Jimmy Clancy just this morning and I was really glad that I caught it because it was really inspiring not only to the athletes but also to us photographers who are striving hard to produce such beautiful images.<br />

Back then, people are strapped with toy cameras clicking happily while finishing a roll of expired film. Images produced by these nifty toy cameras loaded with expired film are often over exposed, vivid, lo-fi and dreamy which made the photo more interesting.<br />

Fast forward to 2010 the phenomenal app Instagram was launched. People got hooked with it, because not only you are able to share images in the internet with your iPhone (recently available for Android) and gain followers you are also able to customize your photograph through the use of filters. The effect is somewhat similar to a Polaroid and Kodak's Instamatic. This makes your ordinary vignettes of mundane objects look cool and interesting.<br />

Photographers too has adopted the use of creative filters to give their photographs more <i>oomph. </i>They do this in Adobe Photoshop. While there are heaps of plugins and actions that will instantly give your photograph that lo-fi look, the problem is the limited pool of choices you can make and more often than not the look that you desire is not in there.</div>

If you are already familiar with cross-processing then this is piece of cake for you. Now for those of you who are new or just have heard the term cross-processing for the first time then you better check this out. Our primary tool in this tutorial is the Adjustment layers which is available in CS3 to CS6 so no matter what version you are using you'll be able to follow the steps that I'm going to share to you.<br />
<br />
Here's the before and after of the image. Alright let's do this!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Let's start off with a unprocessed jpeg photo in RGB format.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6wBVDSxwGFMcWcOvN9LiLwtXw_gl0bhT56HVvWoJ2LNiS5BYXf97eylW3N7-7kCBOWXu5GwmZrBKEdzCLqXMKDH3g6RF3JL7v8zQRSPZoaGqYxuTh9FGiiVwo96Lx7hX3s1tq6lM3V-0/s1600/T001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6wBVDSxwGFMcWcOvN9LiLwtXw_gl0bhT56HVvWoJ2LNiS5BYXf97eylW3N7-7kCBOWXu5GwmZrBKEdzCLqXMKDH3g6RF3JL7v8zQRSPZoaGqYxuTh9FGiiVwo96Lx7hX3s1tq6lM3V-0/s400/T001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
2. Next we duplicate the layers, CTRL+J for Windows and Command+J for Mac. This is just to make sure that we will not make any changes to the original layer despite using adjustment layers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2rCmgE8KmoVTLgzPpRroxnY88WYG0D4j_JdwhvH7qM2U87okbQLEwqvyUO0MULgFA4UQ7x21IDEdfOV_4SX0snBJ3BsfreoJcR20dSbr31s_oVjZu0iY2JqZt9YR0BevqDmzcJPfP8s/s1600/T002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2rCmgE8KmoVTLgzPpRroxnY88WYG0D4j_JdwhvH7qM2U87okbQLEwqvyUO0MULgFA4UQ7x21IDEdfOV_4SX0snBJ3BsfreoJcR20dSbr31s_oVjZu0iY2JqZt9YR0BevqDmzcJPfP8s/s1600/T002.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Now the magic begins. Go to adjustment layers, If you don't see it just go to Windows > Adjustments. Good? Alright, now click Exposure (encircled in red) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HpGhoGYZFcNc-8RcwaY32w5cWqxYR23IABJcoFGHC22hB0PmrU6n3sbLmdS7Nbwm_gYgK9FlyEGIbP9KC-TtYbyFzalGhTxrVuvR-eIWrif6wyBXDcKXz-xiDoRUXd0KpfTVamtwokE/s1600/T003+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HpGhoGYZFcNc-8RcwaY32w5cWqxYR23IABJcoFGHC22hB0PmrU6n3sbLmdS7Nbwm_gYgK9FlyEGIbP9KC-TtYbyFzalGhTxrVuvR-eIWrif6wyBXDcKXz-xiDoRUXd0KpfTVamtwokE/s400/T003+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3.1. Now we are going tweak the Exposure layer. Since most lo-fi effects have a bit of that washed up look we'll tweak the Offset just a little bit. This will give the photo a slightly washed up look.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIqjLwvvlZK2ZWUVfVvxWyOCKLhjMpwU8AKTJnfDICjhS8_mRHUfm4ROAh2JbOH6keweSVqhbsOlvXxTexzWaVH1YvFb8Mz4lF02x0JSMmmMLf55TmWc8z1Fij8Zh_DIGgNYa3zW3hCA/s1600/T004A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIqjLwvvlZK2ZWUVfVvxWyOCKLhjMpwU8AKTJnfDICjhS8_mRHUfm4ROAh2JbOH6keweSVqhbsOlvXxTexzWaVH1YvFb8Mz4lF02x0JSMmmMLf55TmWc8z1Fij8Zh_DIGgNYa3zW3hCA/s400/T004A.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Next, click Curves in the adjustment layer.</div>
<div>

4.1. While in Curves we have to select the individual color channels and tweak it there. For now we will not dabble with formulas in adjusting the curves. This is purely up to you on how you want your final image to be.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
4.2. Now go to the red channel. Just to be safe what you can do first is make a bit of an "S" curve either a inverted "S" or a regular "S" it is up to you so experiment. In my case I want the reds in the image to be a bit reddish and leaning a bit towards purple. So this is what I did:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAT9eTFGIcAIh04wkNRVbrL24pVs5hqilFEkbsj1EXY5EqWk5GB6ZAqYv3JIZ7ekBcKg3ZILJJ4DBSMCeYVSQOQSNls3Do6BSw0X2EYmRYpYdzlabgkZhiH_mJx-pRvjAMtuoDkQzYwZw/s1600/T006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAT9eTFGIcAIh04wkNRVbrL24pVs5hqilFEkbsj1EXY5EqWk5GB6ZAqYv3JIZ7ekBcKg3ZILJJ4DBSMCeYVSQOQSNls3Do6BSw0X2EYmRYpYdzlabgkZhiH_mJx-pRvjAMtuoDkQzYwZw/s400/T006.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not much of an S shape eh :)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
4.3. Next up is the green channel. Same thing but instead of doing an S shape I did more of a lump. Now you'll notice that after you tweak the curves in the green channel the color of the whole image change from purple-ish to a dull greenish tint. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_vA3Lx8XFddzwA_GuLGDeEekzRaSVsZgC1lh9PMeKJykeo0v7U-Cujh4FB-u-nGNzGB_akB6hV0S58XJvZhzwuCdqyUDN_xzKYgZPLH8P8Nk10PBnB8OCvBcaBU7eWgSCr2GyMbb9ig/s1600/T007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_vA3Lx8XFddzwA_GuLGDeEekzRaSVsZgC1lh9PMeKJykeo0v7U-Cujh4FB-u-nGNzGB_akB6hV0S58XJvZhzwuCdqyUDN_xzKYgZPLH8P8Nk10PBnB8OCvBcaBU7eWgSCr2GyMbb9ig/s400/T007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is because all the information in color channels are stacked together I'll explain further next time since this topic requires more research.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4.4. Lastly we'll go for the blue channel same principle just tweak the curves till you get what you wanted. Here's mine:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did a inverted S for this one to bring back some of the purple tint and lessen the yellow a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Before we finish this tutorial I wanted to bring back some of the lost contrast so I've decided to use levels you can do this either pressing CTRL+L (Windows)/Command+L (Mac) or just use the levels in Adjustment layers which I prefer since you can go back to levels again and again without ruining the image.</div>

Save to jpeg and you are done!<br />

The 8th Cinemalaya is on full swing on its 6th day and the crowds of moviegoers from first timers to the faithful attendees (I've been a regular since 08) are still thick that some screenings are sold-out even before its screening day.<br />

This year I have been lucky to be able to watch films that kept me glued to my seat, awake and happy for my well spent money (at least). I never really do reviews for movies but I'd like to share some of my thoughts and opinions about the films I've watched.<br />
<br />
Here we go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/599474_111621935648864_1118536093_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/599474_111621935648864_1118536093_n.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Mga Dayo (Resident Aliens)</b> by Julius Sotomayor Cena<br />
The film is story of 3 Pinays living in Guam. One is Ella who is a supervisor struggling to make ends meet so that her mother can come to Guam and live with them. There's Alex whose going to be married so that she can be a citizen of Guam and there's Miriam a former editor-in-chief and whose married to a American.<br />
<br />
Pros: It is fresh because indie films are usually associated with poverty here in the Philippines where people are living in the slum areas, trying hard to make ends meet and for the past few years people have coined the term "poverty porn" to describe such films. The film is not just a reflection to the lives of our countrymen living abroad but it is the hard truth that some had swallowed for greener pastures.<br />
<br />
Cons: The one thing that somehow made me disinterested with the film is that I find some scenes deemed unnecessary. Sure, Guam is a beautiful scenic place many of us dreamed of but I'd rather focus more on the characters and how they develop into the film.<br />
<br />
Overall the film has a nice heart warming touch about the lives and the struggles of people living in Guam but there are those scenes that it gets monotonous that it puts you off.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Oros (Death is a treasure)</b> by Paul Sta. Ana<br />
Oros is your typical indie film about life in poverty. It is about Makoy the <i>kasero</i> (money manager) and his brother Abet. Makoy buys and manages unclaimed bodies in a local funeral parlor to use as a front so that people can gamble and earn money. While Makoy is best at what he does in managing a <i>saklaan </i>(a betting game of Spanish cards), Abet never really liked the idea of making money from the dead.<br />
<br />
Pros: Yes, it is your typical poverty porn film but believe me this is one is on a whole new level. The cast did such a stellar job that they felt like the real deal. What I also loved in this film is that it was never boring everything was well in place.<br />
<br />
Cons: Cinematography wise it is okay but it could have done more like during the chase scene where the camera is just following Abet and some guy who is chasing him.<br />
<br />
The concept is not new but I highly suggest you go out and watch this one. Paul Sta. Ana clearly has the makings of being a huge and successful director.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Posas (Shackled) </b>by Lawrence Fajardo<br />
Imagine Robin Hood but this time he has no team, no bow and arrow and above all he fails. Posas is a film about Jess Biag who's been victimizing Quiapo, stealing his way so that his family can afford to eat. There he steals Grace's phone but is eventually caught by crooked policemen who gives him the longest day of his life.<br />
<br />
Pros: Despite the political tone of the film Posas is easy to watch. The humor is well placed but when it gets serious then better be prepared. What I love in this film is that it has the all kinds of wrong in our society from Jess to Grace and most specially to the cops. No one is right in this film, everyone has dirt in their shoes no one is naive (well except for John Lapus' character) and perfect. Maybe this is why the film is easy to watch because everyone has dirt in them whether it is a well kept secret or as clear as crystal water.<br />
<br />
Cons: To be honest I love this film so much that I find it hard to point out something the film lacked but maybe, just maybe if they gave Susan Africa (Jess' on screen mother) more a wee bit more screen time just to show how much their family is suffering maybe that would validate Jess' reason but then again that would be way to cliche.<br />
<br />
Another must watch! You will realize (or rather be slapped with the idea) that corruption in the Philippines and probably in the rest of the world is a full circle and the only way to stop is to stop taking part of it.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<b>REquieme!</b> by Loy Arcenas<br />
Caught in a international murder case, Swanie a barangay chairman and her estranged runaway son "Joanna" are both trying to bury the dead in their own separate worlds and give them a proper closure. Swanie is trying to bring home and bury a distant relative whose a criminal cum celebrity for political gain while Joanna is running in circles and entering mazes trying to bury a good neighbor of hers.<br />
<br />
Pros: Funny and heart-warming. I found myself either snickering or laughing out loud with the rest of the audience. This film is a great palette cleanser after watching a disappointing film (for those who are quite unlucky).<br />
<br />
Cons: *Spoiler Alert!* I somehow think that the sex scenes are way too long for what its worth that it turned my initial shock into annoyance. <br />
<br />
As you can see I have only a few lines to say write about this because I might give it away and that would be a disservice to the crew behind this wonderful film. As I have said this is a great palette cleanser, it has the right vibes that after watching it you'll leave your seat happy and content.<br />

<br />
<b>Mga Mumunting Lihim (Those Little Secrets)</b> by Jose Javier Reyes<br />
Never I was a big fan of Jose Javier Reyes went it comes to commercial films but it is completely different when its Jose Javier Reyes in Cinemalaya. Mga Mumunting Lihim is a story of friendship between Mariel, Carly, Sandra and Olivia. When Mariel died she left something to her best-friend Carly that plunged the friends she left into a roller coaster ride of the past.<br />
<br />
Pros: A great watch! Clearly this is a different Jose Javier Reyes. I love how the 4 main characters where developed without overpowering each other. Its a friendship made in heaven (or in hell). You'll be laughing from one scene then sobbing to another.<br />
<br />
Cons: If you are the "deep type" who looks for symbolism and metaphors this is not for you. It is a straight forward and has some of the tried and tested formulas in the film industry.<br />
<br />
Jose Javier Reyes didn't disappoint me in this one. Instead he flung me in a emotional roller coaster ride and left me wondering will my friends and I stay friends for a long time. I suggest you go and grab your friends to watch this because watching it alone sucks.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Ang Nawawala (What Isn't There)</b> by Marie Jamora<br />
Imagine Wes Anderson's quirky cast of characters married to Pedicab's local, vibrant and colorful music add a dash of Sofia Coppola's melancholia. Ang Nawawala is a hipster's/artsy people movie that begs to differ. It has Cubao X, Saguijo, Collective, beer, live music, vintage cameras, cigarettes, weed, vinyls, urban art, heart break and family issues. It is a story about Gibson a young man who stopped talking when he was 10 because of a tragic accident. When he came back in the Philippines, there he met Enid who turned his life almost upside down.<br />
<br />
Pros: Beautiful! It is like a one huge music video (remember Kanye's My Dark Twisted Fantasy and Quark Henares' Rakenrol) it is a bittersweet movie of a young man whose haunting past affected his present. A nostalgic/coming of age/feel good movie that really delivers. I have a soft spot for films like these because it is a reflection of my generation who are confused and sometimes lost in the crowded city of Manila.<br />
<br />
Cons: The film falls short in building up the supporting characters while some of them seem to have no relevance at all.<br />
<br />
Another must watch because I'm pretty sure everyone who's in the same age as me can definitely relate to this film. Marie Jamora has done a great job in her debut film and I can say that she has a promising future. I must say that Annicka Dolonius who played as Enid had most of the guys in the theater pinning their hopes and dreams for a girl like her, I too have found myself to be in the same pit as they are but hey! A girl who has a great taste for music, quirky, drinks beer and pretty as her who wouldn't be right?<br />
<br />
P.S. If you liked this I suggest you go and watch Garden State too.<br />

<br />
<b>Bwakaw</b> by Jun Robles Luna<br />
Another lovely film! Eddie Garcia still has the game in him. Bwakaw is a drama comedy, it is about Mang Rene who lives with his dog named Bwakaw (Voracious). Together they venture out in adventures and mishaps. The film also showcases the pangs of growing old alone.<br />
<br />
Pros: Seeing Eddie Garcia do a very different character from the ones I grew up with is refreshing. The film is hilarious and poignant. It is a mix of Hachiko, The Savages with a dash of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros. <br />
<br />
Cons: If this film didn't have a screening after the festival run then that would be a big let down.<br />
<br />
If you didn't see yet this there is still time left! Everyone in the cast was perfect, there was never a dull moment not even in the most quiet and saddest part of the film. I am sure that Bwakaw will be one of the most successful films in the festival and it will be a classic. <br />
<br />
P.S. For some reason I'm always wondering what would Bwakaw be if it was Dolphy who acted as Mang Rene and Eddie Garcia was Zaldy (Mang Rene's gay best-friend) hmm.<br />

<br />
<b>Kamera Obskura </b>by Raymond Red<br />
This is the first time I saw a semi-silent film entry and I must say that it is fresh experience although totally not new. Kamera Obskura is about Mang Juan who lived his life in the dark for 20 years and then one day he sees the outside world through the projection of images from a small hole. This hole lead him to his escape from his prison.<br />
<br />
Pros: The film within a film treatment is something new (in a way) here in the Philippines and this one didn't disappoint me. The film presented a lot of topics that should be talked about like corruption, the white knight syndrome and the burden of a big responsibility.<br />
<br />
Cons: *Spoiler Alert!* I seriously don't get why a naked woman was there. To symbolize the "naked" truth? I don't know maybe the director intentionally made it so that the audience would ponder on something.<br />
<br />
I like how Raymond Red mirrored our society in his film and in my opinion he showed that the media is misused by both parties left or right for their own advantage. I must say that this is a daring and a really different movie experience.<br />

<b>The Animals</b> by Gino M. Santos<br />
Before I say something about this film let me cuss first. *long and loud cussing*. There. The Animals is a story of high school students living in a upper-middle class subdivision living the life of a "normal high school student", or so they say.<br />
<br />
Pros: A bold masterpiece! This film is like taking off a band-aid from a nasty wound to expose its gross nature. While watching you will either savor or cringe in your seat while remembering on of your old wild party days.<br />
<br />
Cons: This film is not for the faint of heart and for the photosensitive.
<br />
<br />
This is a cautionary tale both for parents and to their kids told in a posh modern setting filled with booze, brazen acts and cigarette smoke. I highly recommend this film for all of you to see because in one way or another we have done something stupid and luckily most of us got out of it unscathed.<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
Before I end this entry I would like to congratulate each and everyone from the directors to the crew of all the films who entered their pieces for this year's Cinemalaya. We are so lucky to have such talented artists in our country and hopefully they get to produce more films like the ones they showcased. Because let's be honest, the commercial movie scene here in the Philippines is going to the dumps someday from all the crap that goes out and the only cure is to even out the odds and educate the masses.<br />
<br />
One last thing! I urge you to go and watch to support our local artists who shed blood, sweat and tears of come up with pieces for our viewing pleasure.<br />
<br />

I arrived in his studio a bit late but I was welcomed by the attendees, we did some exercise before we got started. The workshop is divided into two classes. The first is the morning class which is attended by the newbies who are learning the first ropes of photography which is the relationship of aperture, shutter and ISO and getting creative, the latter was the "oldies" basically they are done with the basics and learning more about lighting setups while working on their communication skills with the model.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The workshop's topic was shooting a prenuptial shoot and I was very lucky since Sir Winston invited Janice and Michael, a real lovely couple to be the subjects for the shoot. The lights was setup in a particular manner where it will vary depending on the trigger that the person is using while the others can shoot using available light. We took turns on the triggers and it gave us different lighting combinations giving us the opportunity to be creative.</span><br />

I have tested it out and so far I'm happy with it since it runs on batteries (and it is somewhat heavy which is perfect for an additional weight to the light stand) so I can take it on-location wherever and whenever.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, first off let's start with the stuff inside the case which by the way also comes along when you buy the monolight! (Isn't that awesome?)<br />

Everything seems to be in order, built quality is not that stellar since the mount in the flash head is plastic so if you are planning to attach a 7-8ft softbox then you guys better think twice or better yet get a flash bracket and mount the flash head there. For umbrellas its a different story, the flash head has a built-in umbrella holder there I tried my 55" parabolic umbrella and surprisingly it can handle it nicely but I have to see it outdoors if it can manage the umbrella with some winds.<br />
<br />
As for the power output of the flash, I tried it and I would say that it is freaking powerful! At full power it sort of blinded me even though I am indirectly looking at it. I tried shooting with the monolight at full power to the lowest at f1.8-2.8 without my ND500 filter and it produced overexposed images and this is indoors, just imagine if you are shooting on a 2pm-4pm sunlight on a summer day. Sadly the 9 stop adjustment doesn't have a lot of difference so I have decided to just use 3 power levels which is 9 for full power, 5 for middle and 1 of the lowest.<br />

A lot of us photographers are iffy about color consistency from the lenses that we use to the labs that print our images and as a photographer it is probably safe to assume that you know the phrase: "you get what you pay for". As it turns out the flash has a color consistency problem but its easily fixable at Photoshop, just a slide with the color balance and you are set. Other problems that I see on the flash is that the modelling light is a bit slower to recharge than the flash tube and the only easy fix is to turn the modelling light off which also helps the longevity of the battery.<br />
<br />
So there you guys go! I haven't done a really thorough test with the Godox EX600 but hopefully soon I'll have it tested outdoors in a real shoot. For now I can say that the Godox EX600 is a good step-up from the flash gun if you are looking for more power and portability on the cheap.<br />
<br />
The monolight is priced at PHP 17,990 with 3 months of warranty from Photozuela.<br />
<br />
Stay tune for a in-depth review of the Godox EX600!<br />

Fete dela Musique or World Music Day is a celebration of the beauty and the vastness of music. Makati avenue was closed down to traffic and became the central stage of the festival. Other music genres have their own stages like the Rock stage at Bside and the Hip Hop stage at Kyss.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.interaksyon.com/lifestyle/assets/2012/06/F%C3%AAte-de-la-Musique-2012-Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.interaksyon.com/lifestyle/assets/2012/06/F%C3%AAte-de-la-Musique-2012-Poster.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<br />
Naturally I wouldn't let this big event just pass by without me documenting it but seeing that the different music stages are scattered around Makati area. I have decided to stick with the rock stage and hip hop stage plus I have this photography project that I am secretly working on.<br />
<br />
I first headed to Bside where I thought my buddy Gerome was but we had a bit of communication mishap. So after realizing he no way near the area I just decided to wing it. Bside was packed and was extremely humid so I have just decided to go straight for the hip hop stage inside but before I leave the area I needed to take a couple of photos. Turns out that it was Nyctinasty's set and upon hearing them play I immediately change my mind into staying there (despite the heat) until they wrapped up their set.<br />

After Bside I went straight to Kyss for the Hip Hop stage and also because most of my friends who attended <i>Fete</i> are there. The stage had a late start but as soon as the music started pumping everyone was bobbing their heads to the beat. Emcee Anygma shared some snippets of the history of hip hop in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
From the gritty streets of Tondo to the high rise buildings in the south, artists from different locations performed their pieces to show that hip hop is just as rich and diverse as the other genres of music.

Almost everyone went crazy even the foreign guests who where there. Picoy and his crew are giving the machines a run for its money while launching a barrage of heavy hitting beats at the same time. Things got funky after Picoy's awesome display of his beat-boxing prowess. The Mighty Miscellaneous dropped the mother load in Kyss. Their sound is like having your mom drag you down by the ear without protests to the times where hip hop was known to be funky.<br />

From start to finish I was just bobbing my head with their music and clicking the shutter at the same time. If you haven't seen them yet then you should probably check them out since they are launching their album sometime this month.<br />
<br />
After the killer set of Miscellaneous, I decided to call it a night since I have loads of stuff to do and I haven't been getting any proper sleep during this past few days. All in all this year's Fete de la Musique was a great success from what I have witnessed because everyone was really digging it. Hopefully it would be like one big street party again. :)<br />
<br />
Next year I'll try and visit all the stages there and probably take portraits of really interesting people. See you to the next Fete!

<br />
Last June 9 I did some "pre-birthday celebration" shooting photos, drinking beer and having a blast at Freedom Bar in Anonas of course this "pre-birthday" celebration wouldn't be possible without my cousin Kath and Black Kath Productions which by the way is one hell of a prod and can certainly kick some serious ass.<br />
<br />
Okay, going back to what really this post is about. I tried something new since I am getting wee bit frustrated in shooting gigs in small venues. What I did the unimaginable. I brought a freaking light stand. Yes, a small light stand —now crucify me! I also brought a pair of flash triggers, my reliable CD-R King flash, my battered Sunpak PZ42X which is sadly not as much of a performer compared to its CD-R King counterpart and shit loads of AA batteries.<br />

Now for the setup!<br /><br />After setting up my light and checking if its firing I placed it first in front and then switched it to the side since not everyone is getting lit enough (my first real lesson with the inverse square law has costed me 3 awesome bands). Then I dialed the power to 1/8th of a power so that I can shoot at around f2.8 up until f8 at ISO 400 while having the shutter speed at around 60th-20th of a second.<br />
