LET'S GO TO GENESIS VALLEY

Pheeeeeew!! How should I start yesterday's activity? My mom woke me up and told me "Yan it's almost 6:00 a.m." still half asleep I hurriedly checked my cellphone and was shocked to see a lot of messages still to be read. The jeepney drivers that I contacted where already in I.T. Park waiting for us. I was in a hurry to go to my friend's house in Tabunok that I forgot to eat breakfast. When we arrived at I.T. Park I was so dismayed to see only a quarter of a whole of my teammates. I found out that there was a miscommunication that occurred that day before with the set time to meet up. 


It's my first time to go to Genesis Valley and yes we almost got lost but recovered after doing a U-turn on the next block. Damn that place was quite a struggle to find. I think Shemberg should advertise more about the place and put signages so that their visitors will not find it hard to look for the place. 


Genesis Valley is indeed calming and it reminds me of Family Park HAHAHAHA....
The place is ideal for team buildings, family get together and photoshoots...

WHEN THE GIRLS GET READY


What I really love about night outs and parties is the Preparation part. Where in you brainstorm with your friends what nice dress to wear, shoes to compliment your dress and lastly what make-up to apply. 

Preparing is simply the best part and the most crucial part of every event if you fail in this stage you surely will suffer the entire night. *wink*

 MAKE-UPS
READY? HAHAHA

Let's Live life while were young and Enjoy life today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised.

SIMPLE STEPS TO ACHIEVE GOOD QUALITY PHOTOS FOR BEGINNERS


Before I bought my first dslr camera honestly I spent the whole weekend reading blogs of photographers and reading reviews about cameras. So here are all I grasped about the whole photography concept for BEGINNERS (like me).

1.) Know what you need. - Don't buy a DSLR camera for professional photographers if you don't have any idea how to use its functionalities, As an advice its better to buy an entry level and practice that thing if in time you learn to love photography more then that's the time to upgrade.


I got a Canon 600D and I'm happy with my toy. YES I'm a Canon user :)

2.) Read the MANUAL - This really helps believe me! Though I have a bad eye sight (I'm suffering with astigmatism and my grade is 350) I still find ways of learning my camera through Youtube in this way I don't suffer reading small fonts. It's easy using youtube just search for you camera body manual video.


3.) Invest in good lens - While reading a lot of blogs I learned from Christine Chang that starter lens sucks. You will not be able to appreciate photography using that lens instead buy 50mm f/1.8 and play with that lens. For beginners this lens is a win :)


This prime lens is not expensive but it can really let you move around and be creative.

4.) EDIT EDIT EDIT - Should I elaborate more? Photos that are straight from the cameras tends to have poor color quality that's why lightroom and Iphoto on my part is a big HELP. 

This reminds me that I have to download lightroom again..gggrr!!

5.) PRACTICE USING YOUR CAMERA - Go out give a ring to your friends, gather them for a shoot and learn how to be a good photographer.

A mother and daughter shoot with my true friend Jean. I will talk more about this shoot next time :)

That's all for now hope you learn something with this entry.
