Michael, being a very busy person, is just available at night. We did the shoot in my place in Santa Rosa at around 9:00pm.<br /><br />Mike, wanted his photo to look a bit casual but still presentable as he is being contacted by his clients mostly in social networking accounts, particularly in facebook. We sat for a few minutes and talked about the "feel" he wanted for the final photo. We both agreed to make the photo, black and white to have that "classic" feel. I told him that the photo should also feel "light" and not stiff for him to look very cordial.<br /><br />I wanted the photo to look as if it was taken during a sunny day. I sat Mike near a window and placed one of my speedlights behind him to make it look like as if the sun is just gleaming through the window. To light his face, I placed a reflector near him to bounce the light from the speedlight to his face.<br /><br />Mike is not used to having his photos taken and looked very stiff so I started a conversation while I was taking his photo. I wanted to capture a very natural smile so I started asking things about his daughter. Right away, Mike, thinking about his daughter, let out a very warm smile and I was able to capture it. Here's the final photo and a simple diagram of my lighting set up.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zMFDWuxftY8/TY-QDUWDnsI/AAAAAAAAAcc/t59FXC-3hTg/s1600/DSC_3456web.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zMFDWuxftY8/TY-QDUWDnsI/AAAAAAAAAcc/t59FXC-3hTg/s400/DSC_3456web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588844049265303234" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">camera: 85mm 1/200 2.8 200ISO<br />speedlight: TTL +1.0<br /></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t9xJZvtRdx8/TY-QC9e2v9I/AAAAAAAAAcU/vYWYrIRjLR0/s1600/lightdiagram-mike.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t9xJZvtRdx8/TY-QC9e2v9I/AAAAAAAAAcU/vYWYrIRjLR0/s400/lightdiagram-mike.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588844043128192978" border="0" /></a><br /></div>peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-39494350731415379612011-03-07T06:00:00.001-08:002011-03-07T06:46:05.966-08:00High Key Photography: Available LightA couple of weeks ago, I had a portrait session with my friend's little sister, Grey.

A studio? Nope. I took the photos in my room's veranda. Grey and her sister, Gretle went to my place at around 3:00pm. I started taking photos at around 5:00pm after all the preparations (make up etc.) and <span style="font-style: italic;">chikahan</span> (catching up). I took advantage of the sun's position in the sky during that time which was directly parallel to us. I asked Gretle to hold a diffuser (my big 5-in-1 reflector's diffuser) behind Grey, with the sun behind it. I metered at Grey's left cheek and overexposed by a stop, set the focus in her left eye and then started taking photos.<br /></div><br />Here is a simple diagram of our setup:<br /><br /><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/bar0s/for%20LJ/photodiagramgrey.jpg" alt="diagram" border="0" /><br />Camera Settings: 1/200 1.8 85mm<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">At that time, the color temperature of the sun was a bit warm and gave the photos a reddish tint for I used the daylight white balance which I thought was ok but after a few adjustments when I was post-processing the photos, I ended up making the photos look colder, which I thought was perfect because Grey was wearing winter clothes.<br /></div><br /><br /></div>peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-21122999952398234932011-02-28T12:35:00.000-08:002011-02-28T12:37:51.208-08:00Laiya, Batangas<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w1VxXtIZ7EU" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />went to Laiya, Batangas with friends and their friends. t'was fun meeting new people who loves spinning. new poi friends for me<br /><br />PS this is my first attempt to shoot a video. bear with my shaky hands. lack of equipment. hehepeeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-67244957243280206172011-02-14T08:40:00.000-08:002011-02-14T08:46:55.869-08:00Diane Wilson MatiasShot in Kagoshima, Japan<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgxyRu4U_Xk/TVlbw08PPlI/AAAAAAAAAbs/M8XsaMvtcus/s1600/DSC_8729.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MgxyRu4U_Xk/TVlbw08PPlI/AAAAAAAAAbs/M8XsaMvtcus/s400/DSC_8729.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573586908250848850" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1v6m5pllw0/TVlbwS5WrjI/AAAAAAAAAbk/fWQFdZX1cRM/s1600/DSC_8739.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1v6m5pllw0/TVlbwS5WrjI/AAAAAAAAAbk/fWQFdZX1cRM/s400/DSC_8739.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573586899111947826" border="0" /> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcE8eltYYXA/TVlbv85ybjI/AAAAAAAAAbc/IyFhaeJTgsc/s1600/DSC_8720.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TcE8eltYYXA/TVlbv85ybjI/AAAAAAAAAbc/IyFhaeJTgsc/s400/DSC_8720.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573586893208186418" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-97mpzwsg-Wc/TVlbvSC_m1I/AAAAAAAAAbU/s_IOSYAQ6fI/s1600/DSC_8716.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-97mpzwsg-Wc/TVlbvSC_m1I/AAAAAAAAAbU/s_IOSYAQ6fI/s400/DSC_8716.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573586881704074066" border="0" /></a><br /></div>peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-89717213898512899882010-11-26T08:57:00.000-08:002010-11-26T09:29:27.840-08:00Costa Classica FriendsI haven't been posting anything lately, well, because, yes, I've been very busy.

The Nightmare that was CostaI haven't been posting anything lately basically because life onboard is pretty much busy. A crew has to work 7 days a week 11 hours a day. Luckily, photographers doesn't have to work 11 hours a day. Everytime the ship is docked, the photoshop, my former workplace is closed. But having a workaholic manager, even if the ship was docked, I had to start to work again at night.<br /><br />Former workplace, yes. I quit from my job. Why? There are a lot of reasons that all boils down to "it's not worth it."<br /><br />It was fun being onboard. Partying almost every week, the people you meet and places you go. But being an artist, I got burned out with the job. I hate routine jobs... embarkation, gala night, portrait session, dinner shoots, etc etc then it goes back to embarkation shoot again. Also, there's nothing creative with my former job. The camera has been set and all I had to do was click the shutter release button. I wasn't a "photographer" i was just a "clicker."<br /><br />I'll share the major reasons why I quit... soon... I'm still pissed of with Costa Crociere and how they do their manpooling (which, as a trained photographer, kinda insulted me) and how Costa Crociere treats their employees...peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-75721692212345458392010-05-12T21:16:00.000-07:002010-05-12T21:20:01.505-07:00My first........warning.

I am now considering my ship as my new country; a moving island, a different view from your porthole (cabin window) everyday. We all know that a country has its cultures. Being with different races, I must say that "my country" is very rich in culture. You'll learn a lot everyday; customs, traditions and even different words and phrases. But... you really have got to be a verrrry good listener here. Its very hard to understand a lot of people, well, basically because of the different language accents.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-453GGoaI/AAAAAAAAAYs/1FtpgxH6NxQ/s1600/DSC_6502.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-453GGoaI/AAAAAAAAAYs/1FtpgxH6NxQ/s400/DSC_6502.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462788177205305762" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-45lRBhcI/AAAAAAAAAYk/hNvAugk5mj0/s1600/DSC_6501.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-45lRBhcI/AAAAAAAAAYk/hNvAugk5mj0/s400/DSC_6501.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462788172419270082" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-4_51TE-I/AAAAAAAAAZM/H4Hgxm33_uU/s1600/DSC_6531.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-4_51TE-I/AAAAAAAAAZM/H4Hgxm33_uU/s400/DSC_6531.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462788281019339746" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Apparently, all countries have rules and laws too. "My country" has a lot and people here are very strict in enforcing the law. One big mistake and it will cost you your job. As a new crew, you have to undergo a lot of training on your first weeks onboard and take an exam after. If you wont be able to pass the exam, you will be given another two chances and if you still won't pass it, then you'll disembark the ship in the next port. P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E!<br /><br />Being in a ship as a crew, well, after working here for a few weeks, without a doubt, is not easy. Everyday, I'm missing my family and friends back at home. Its like starting over here; yes you'll meet new friends but it takes a long time for me, and I'm sure its the same with most of you guys, to really trust someone. It's a good thing that there are a lot of Filipinos here, its part of our <span style="font-style: italic;">Pinoy</span> culture to be nice to fellow <span style="font-style: italic;">Pinoys</span>. and with our number here, sometimes I feel like I never left home.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-46cpDr4I/AAAAAAAAAY0/3LkYifZp7E0/s1600/DSC_6503.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-46cpDr4I/AAAAAAAAAY0/3LkYifZp7E0/s400/DSC_6503.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462788187284025218" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-4_lDfW9I/AAAAAAAAAZE/YmcCdr1RtEk/s1600/DSC_6530.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S8-4_lDfW9I/AAAAAAAAAZE/YmcCdr1RtEk/s400/DSC_6530.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462788275441720274" border="0" /></a><br />Ericson and Edgar, my Pinoy Colleagues<br /></div><br />Another thing is the work hour.

This time it's for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Rosas ng Santa Rosa</span> Pageant. I had a hard time setting up the lights for flash photography is not allowed in certain areas of the park.<br /><br />What I enjoyed the most in our shoot was the "jellies" part of the park. I was again with <a href="http://antonbelardo.blogspot.com/">Anton</a> and we were soooooo GV (good vibes) with the jellyfishes that we did a lil video thing.<br /><br />Will post the photos soon...<br /><br /><br /><object height="313" width="384"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i0ivETT3WGs&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i0ivETT3WGs&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="313" width="384"></embed></object>peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-78400843177200159252010-03-21T04:26:00.000-07:002010-03-21T05:30:20.292-07:00Life's a Beach... in CaramoanI know, I know... this blog entry is long overdue. I've been busy lately with some projects (and trying to ask for payment from a certain client.)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">READ: I've learned an important lesson. Never ever ever ever ever work without downpayment... even if that project is from an old friend... especially if he's working for the government.</span></span><br /><br />Anyway, back to this blog entry... a few weeks ago, or should I say, a month ago... I went to Caramoan, Camarines Sur with two of my very good friends, Tom and Jojo (pretty much sounds like Tom and Jerry, eh? and yes, they're a couple) to celebrate their Nth anniversary (6th, I think). Jojo, being the oldest (hehehe) prepared everything. He booked our whole tour, the place where we stayed, and our transpo. Touring Caramoan is pretty cheap, I must say. It costed us 6, 000 PhP per head, all-in (transpo, accommodation and food for our 3days-2nights stay). There are no five or four star hotels in Caramoan. If you are the <span style="font-style: italic;">maarte</span> (snob) type then I suggest you go to Boracay or Dos Palmas instead. What I love in Caramoan is of course, the beaches, they are all (well, the beaches we visited, six of 'em) pure and untouched by civilization and you're gonna miss this if you are "<span style="font-style: italic;">maarte.</span>"<br /><br />We left Santa Rosa, Laguna (our hometown) at around 6PM to go to Alabang where we embarked on the bus going to Naga. Before embarking the bus, we had our dinner and bought a few snacks and drinks in Festival Mall, Alabang to prepare ourselves for the long trip ahead. The bus arrived in Alabang at around 10:30PM and left at around 11:00PM. Jojo, booked a bus with lazy-boy seats so our 8-hour trip was pretty comfy. We slept most of the time during our trip and tested if google map would work in places were 3G is a bit, umn, low. We arrived at Naga Terminal (beside SM City Naga) at around 7:00AM. We then took a two hour-long van ride going to Sabang Port and another two-hour long ride, this time by boat, to Caramoan.<br /><br /><br />(all pictures with dates are from Tom's camera.

These photographs are those usually edited using photoshop 3rd-party actions... with the photographer or the one who post process the photo not exerting any effort to make the photo look like it was not edited/post processed. I've seen a lot of photographs of people having skin that looks very... unnatural... reminds me of photos of Mariah Carey and that Madonna for Louis Vuitton Ad Campaign.<br /><br />I used to work for a magazine publishing company as a photo editor (long before I started taking photos myself) and learned a lot from my former boss about post processing photos of models/people. Being able to know what photo editors do, I always try to shoot photos now that requires little or no post processing at all because we all, well, most of us know that the more you photoshop a photograph, the more you destroy its pixels.<br /><br />We've always been told that nobody is perfect. Physically, even models have flaws... pimples, wrinkles, scars, etc etc. What most people do when editing photos is like what I mentioned earlier, use 3rd party actions. These actions usually take the details off the skin of the subject by blurring off those details making the skin look smooth. Downside is, the skin will look unnatural... like the texture of a mannequin.<br /><br />When editing off skin imperfections, I use the healing brush and stamp tools, making sure that my brush size is not bigger than 10 (for a photo from a 12 or 15 megapixel camera). This helps to retain the texture of the skin and as much as possible I keep some little imperfections to make the photo look unedited. It usually takes me 2 to 4 hours editing a 12-15MP photograph. A li'l practicing with the healing brush tool and you'll be able to master using it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">(click images to zoom in)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svKJsyMgI/AAAAAAAAAM8/YGojFJB0jkU/s1600-h/01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 506px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svKJsyMgI/AAAAAAAAAM8/YGojFJB0jkU/s400/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425482027546849794" border="0" /></a><br />original image<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svJqP5l_I/AAAAAAAAAM0/_7-fiaMQoTs/s1600-h/02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 507px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svJqP5l_I/AAAAAAAAAM0/_7-fiaMQoTs/s400/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425482019104200690" border="0" /></a><br />edited using the healing brush and stamp tools<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svJctBILI/AAAAAAAAAMs/4nDywGYyD50/s1600-h/03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 506px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0svJctBILI/AAAAAAAAAMs/4nDywGYyD50/s400/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425482015468232882" border="0" /></a><br />with Imagenomic's Noise Reduction in Portrait setting<br /><br /></div>I have nothing against using "skin perfecting" 3rd party applications in photoshop. It really depends on how you want your final photo to look like. But if you want natural-looking skin texture in your final photo, I suggest editing using the healing brush tool in 10 brush size.peeweehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06323537102320845739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871285677187047712.post-10608447935295909722010-01-09T09:01:00.000-08:002010-01-09T10:59:59.941-08:00D90 as a lomo cameraWhen boredom attacks, I always end up doing unexpected things. Lately, I've been hanging out with friends doing absolutely nothing. Obviously I got bored, picked up my camera and experimented. I wanted to come up with photos looking like they were taken using a lomo camera... Over saturated, high in contrast, having psychedelic colors and looking as if they were taken not following the traditional rules (perfect exposure, well composed, etc etc).<br /><br />THE COLORS<br />I am no expert with picture control settings of my camera so i just decided mess up with it. After experimenting and a few test shots... I came up with these setttings...<br /><br />VIVID<br />sharpening 5<br />contrast +3<br />brightness +1<br />saturation +2 (or it really depends on how saturated you want your photos to be)<br />hue - 3<br /><br />WB (if gonna be used in daylight or with a flash) 2940K<br />G-M G5<br />A-B A4<br /><br />THE EXPOSURE<br />As for the exposure, I wanted the ambient lights to affect the final photo so i followed my usual work flow when dealing with flash and ambient light (I've learned this from the Nikon <a href="http://nikonusa.com/Learn-And-Explore/Photography-Techniques/fy1hs59m/1/Control-of-Color-Part-1.html">website</a>)... first, use the camera mode in auto mode to come up with the right exposure so that the ambient lights will end up showing in/ affecting the photo, then use the settings given by the auto mode in manual mode and use my flash, off-camera, to light up the subject. also, the zoom setting of my flash was 85mm so that it had that "spot light" feel. The flash power? well it really depends on you. but I think over exposing the subject looked nice.<br /><br />MULTI EXPOSURE<br />Since d90 also has this multi exposure feature, I decided to use it to come up with multi-exposed lomo-looking photos.<br /><br />VIGNETTE<br />The vignette.... we were taught back in my college photography class how to manually give photos those soft black corners. Either, burn and dodge the photo when developing it in the darkroom or just cut a piece of black paper and tape it at the end of your lens hood (you're basically extending your lens hood until you see black edges when you looked through the viewfinder). I did the latter, of course.<br /><br />Anyway what's important if you want to able to take photos like these, you just have to remember the keywords... experiment, play and have fun.<br /><br />enough said.. here are the photos....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z5wczgmLiFI/S0i7LdOCj2I/AAAAAAAAAMk/-32ttBJMdUU/s1600-h/20162_266634966531_640446531_4450527_7234308_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
