WeSay, I say..

I’ve been paying more attention to my photography hobby lately so being part of good photography groups mean a lot. This is especially when I need to learn about more techniques and styles not just in taking photos but in post-processing too. (Lately Photoscape has been the answer to my Lomo-less situation, wink wink).

Sometimes though, it’s not enough to snap pictures of everything you see. Sometimes a landscape shot wouldn’t be as intersting without a context. Building a story through pictures is one subject that I love doing. I’ve done that in one of my LP entries, recycling my photo story plates back in college. I’ve really been leaning towards photoblogging lately. Pictures speak louder than words. WeSay.com is one such group that allows photo enthusiasts, even amateurs, to show what they’ve got through photo journalism.

I admit I’m not very good at this yet, but I am willing to learn. Joining a photo contest is a good chance to learn and challenge your usual way of doing (or photographing) things. When I joined the 100 Strangers Project it made me bolder to approach potential subjects. Joining WeSay’s photo contest will open your eyes even wider because of the Citizen Photojournalism challenge. You submit photos that make today’s news. It’s really that simple. It can be anywhere from road accidents to travel news to Obama and even to the weird and fascinating.

Try it, I am.

Malaking Bilog [litratong pinoy]

Europa Rad

Ang una kong litrato para sa linggong ito ng LP, na ang tema ay “Ako Ay Bilog”. Kuha noong taong 2006 sa Euro Carnival.

(Edit) Ginamit na camera: Nokia 7200 (natagalan pa ako bago ko makita kung anong model sa luma)

Dahil sa marami ang nagkomento tungkol sa night shot na ito, at dahil gusto ko kayong iencourage na kumuha ng night shots at wala yon sa camera (not all the time at least).
