J Pics D40 Pics: Shoeshine Boy (FOTOGRA FINALS)

I barely used the 105 mm lens I borrowed from school. It’s quite microscopic if you ask me so I used my standard 18-35 mm lens instead.

Model: Nikko Delos Santos
ISO: 200
Aperture: Depends on availability of natural light
Shutterspeed: Most are below 1/60 sec
Lens: Standard Nikon AF 18-35 mm lens
Camera: Nikon D40
Shooting location: Extension garage found inside the Habitan Manor in San Diego Subd., Arkong Bato, Valenzuela City

Marapat lang na iyong ibigay sa’kin ang inyong mga suhestiyon, tanong at kritisismo ukol sa mga litratong kinuha. 😀

This is so far the only set among the 5 wherein I made an extensive use of bracketing the pictures.

Some pictures are not available for viewing as per requested 🙂

Need your critique and suggestions really!

Sorry for the less quantity of pictures, may biyahe pa kasi ‘insan ko gamit ng jeep kaya kailangang mabilis laang to. 🙂

(Kasawa’t katagal maglagay ng labels sa Flickr!)

Guwapo!

J Pics D40 Pics: Tiangge Lady (FOTOGRA FINALS)

a.k.a. The Search for the Best Tiangge Lady in Malabon City!

For most of the pics, they were taken using ISO: 200

Shooting location: Malabon City (Concepcion, Baritan, Hulong Duhat, San Agustin/Bayan)

Model: Tiangge Lady of San Agustin/Bayan

Bodyguard/Companion: Ate Jade

Fun fact: For those commuters who would frequent the Araneta Square area of Monumento, you’d be very much surprised to know that the old lady beggar-in-a-duster has moved her base of operations in Bayan.

Critiques, comments, questions and suggestions are welcome 🙂

Pasada Bigla Bagal; Manong Laging Higpit Nagbagong Gupit

        My last class in school ends in 5:45pm and I usually am in Monumento en route to home around 6:30pm. One of the things I do when I’m in the area is to put on a serious face if I see law-breakers trying to cross the street (Samson Road) if the traffic enforcer have not yet given the commuters the greenlight to walk across. This Monday was no different.

However, may dagdag eksena…

        While sporting a very serious face, I didn’t notice that a vehicle was slowing down in front of me, and I mean slowing down FOR ME!

       A window at the front seat opens and an awfully familiar face came sprouting out from that very window.

“JAIME!”

       I heard someone screaming my name out loud kaya hinanap ko kung saan iyon nanggaling. Turns out, it was in fact Jeco who seemed to have finaly got himself a badly-needed haircut and now sports shorter hair. Afterwards, the vehicle quickly left towards the rotunda and drove into the limelight and beyond.

Si Zack, Mahilig Manggulat!

        Daming nangyari nung nakaraang Sabado. Una siyempre ang penultimate week namin sa Baseco for NSTPCWS, sumunod iyung three-hour outdoor pictorial ko sa may Liwasang Bonifacio para sa found still life at portrait, at finals portfolio ko. Tapos ang sumunod naman ang muling pagkikita ko at ng kaibigang matagal ko nang hindi nakikita sa loob ng matagal na panahon.

       Nagpapahinga ako sa may hagdanan sa loob ng Central Terminal LRT station habang naghihintay ng masasakyang tren. Bigla may sumigaw sa pangalan ko, “JAMES!”. Tuminigin ako sa itaas, iyun pala si Zack iyung tumawag sa’kin!

      Si Zack o kilala rin sa tunay niyang pangalan na “Manuel Zack Dela Cruz” ay natagpuan ko sa Central kasama ang kasintahang si Leah. Hindi ako makapaniwala na kinukuwento palagi niu Zack sa kanya ang mga kuwento tungkol sa akin noong bata pa kami nina Zack at magkaklase pa noong pre-school days namin sa Montessori.

        Tinanong ko siya kung saan na siya nag-aaral pero sabi niya, naghahanap pa daw siya ng eskuwelang mapapasukan niya. Dati siyang UST pero lumipat sa UE pero may nangyari kaya in limbo pa ang status niya bilang estudyante.

     Habang nakasakay kami sa tren, wala kaming gianwang dalawa kungdi mag-usap tungkol sa mga kasamahan namin sa Montessori, ang kung ano na ang nangyari sa kanila. Grabeh, parang kailan lang talaga, naglalaro kami at ng mga kaklase namin ng mga palarong pambata.

       Ako iyung iyakin ng Montessori at siya iyung batang mukhang bingi ang ngipin. Si Nathaniel iyung tumae sa upuan, si Angelique naman iyung ka-duet minsan ni Michael. Si Cheenee kabrakada niya palagi si Aimee habang tinatawag ko palagi sa buo niyang pangalan si Mark as in “Mark Allan Paul”. Si Paula iyung palaging pinag-iinitan kasi kadudaduda ang mga pinapasa niyang projects habang si Ibbar iyung recurring bully sa grade school life ko.

   Ang dami mga tao na nais ko na rin makita muli. Sa ngayon sina Carlos, Mark, Gerard, Michael, Angelique Ashley, Senelita, Mangga, Zack, Cheche a.k.a. April Joyce, Janine Allison Lleses, Janine Herrera ang mga nakita ko na nang personal habang sina Lucky, L.A., Jamelle, Kenneth at Kenji ang nakita ko uli via YM at Friendster.

            Sana talaga matuloy na rin ang di matuloy-tuloy na reunion naming mga Montessorian.

The CSB Experience 2: Access Past 8

I thought MMA under 107 were supposed to have their scheduling encodement this Wednesday so I wonder how some of us were able to access the SIS and encode the schedules that we desire for junior year first term. Sometime past 8 this morning, access to the SIS became restricted to certain students.

I wasn’t able to take a picture of my schedule for the 1st term but here’s what I still remember so far:

Monday
2DANIM1 8-11
VIDPROD1 14:45-5:45

Tuesday
3DANIM1 8-11
CONCEPTPHO 14:45-5:45 Jomel Gregorio

Wednesday
CADVIS1

Thursday:
WEBDEV

This may not be my final sched yet so stay tuned for updates.
