Looong time no post...

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post. Time does fly fast. Have been preoccupied lately with so many things going on.... Hahaha, I don't know what to write anymore! I know! Gear talk!

Sold my D70s IR converted just this afternoon. Though it was hard for me to let go of that camera, I just had too. Have to finance another project... tomorrow I will get it and will soon post samples! Can't wait. Hopefully that will end my GAS attacks... sa December na sana next.

I have completed my basic filter setup, Hitech NDG 0.9 SE, Kenko Pro1 CPL, and a Hoya NDX400, plus a cool Tamrac filter pouch to hold them! Finally was able to test them out seriously. So many to learn so much to develop. I have to admit, I am starting to love shooting long exposures (unlike before!).

August 2009 has been interesting. I was able to travel a lot. Climbed Mt. Arayat in Pampangga (of which I am yet to upload photos, went with some cool friends and of course my Abby to El Nido Palawan and last week had a quick trip to Bolinao where photos above where taken.

The incident last week was unforeseen. It drained me a lot, and I thought the Bolinao trip would help. Up to now, I feel "lowbat", dunno why.

Maybe I need a hug from my bebeh... Abbyko!!! mahal ko!!! san ka na???

Longing...

While the team was busy with the BPP activity, I went to the back of the house and saw this row of greens. I shot full manual, and prayed I got it right (exposure comp on IR cam is not accurate anymore due to IR blocking filter).

The mountains on the left is our exit point last June 08 coming from that 3 day long hike that brought us to Cambulo, Batad, and Naggor. Will never forget that moment on the waiting shed. Finally, a phone signal!

Going Infrared...

edwink goes IR!!!

I can still remember when I had the beach for myself. It was just the sea, the sand, the pines and myself. I would run to the woods and play on the river's edge. I would walk the long beach, leaving the only footprints on the stretch of sand. I would sit on top of the hill and gaze upon the beauty of this place. I would spend hours of doing nothing, thinking of nothing, just watching the waves break and listening to the rubbing of the pines.

Leaving paradise, I told myself... I have to go back. And that's what I've been doing for the last 3 years...
