Bought the Canon EF S 55-250 IS this week. Figured, this would perfectly compliment my existing stock lens as the lens length starts from where the kit lens ends. I must say that for the price, it performed quite well producing clear pictures with good image quality even on handheld situations.
As for my subjects, there are only a couple of words I’d use to describe BHS on a Sunday. Sculptures, kids and dogs. See the snaps from this weekend’s shooting adventure. Enjoy!
The best thing about early shifts, going home early. Early enough that I make it in time for landscape photography’s golden hours, sunset. After a quick change of clothes, I grabbed my cam and tripod and headed straight to our condo’s drying deck. I was taking some shots from beside what I think is the boiler room when I noticed a hidden spot on that floor. Behind a couple of fire exit doors, there actually is a small patch of garden that had open views of the cityscape. It gave me the perfect spot to take the nice pics below. Enjoy!
Made a trip to Manila’s supposed camera heaven, Hidalgo St. It’s disappointing that there’s really not much choice there. Might be worth taking a trip back to Hongkong and buy the lens I want. Anyway, I did manage to make the trip worth my time by buying my tripod’s new best friend, the ballhead. See the new pics I took this weekend. Some making use of the ballhead and some with me just toying around with shooting techniques. Enjoy!
Thanks to the long weekend, was able to finish Scott Kelby’s “The Digital Photography – Book 1″. It was a great weekend of taking pictures trying to learn the craft. If Canon put a limit to the “Delete” function in their cameras, I’d have been in big trouble. Some keepers from this weekend’s experiments below.
