Photohunt: Flag(s)

Posted by admin on June 27th, 2009 | 7 comments

A not so 100% perfect concept for this week’s entry because I only got one flag up on my photo.. I earlier blogged that I won’t be joining this week’s theme but luckily, I found from my stash a picture of the Philippine flag…the flag of my motherland. This was taken at Club Manila East, one perfect summer afternoon of June 2007.

Anyway, I’ll just share a few tidbits about our flag that I remember from my History class. The symbolism includes:
White triangle – equality and fraternity
The blue field – peace, truth and justice
The red field – patriotism and valor
8 primary rays of the sun – the first eight provinces that sought independence from Spain and were placed under martial law by the Spaniards at the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
3 stars – three major geographical divisions of the country: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.

Lights Tipper.

Posted by admin on June 6th, 2009 | 0 comments

For those of you who still rely on their SLR’s pop up flashes (like us) when shooting indoors in auto mode, check out this new product called Lights Tipper. It’s called such because it instantly improves pop up flash photos by directing the harsh light from the camera’s tiny flash to a ceiling or (light colored) wall. It will then softens shadows, reduce glare and produces a crisp, well-lit photo. This is ideal when shooting an object or let’s say shooting your products for online selling. It can be used with Fuji, Olympus, Canon, Nikon and Pentax cameras. Price is just Php 650 at DPOnline (JT Photoworld)…not sure with the other Hidalgo shops.

Shots like this make me want to own a macro lens. It would have been nicer if I captured it closer but I was to afraid to get stung so I was a bit distant and this was the closest shot I could get.
