food photography (ang pag papanggap)

Food photography is a still life specialization of commercial photography, aimed at producing attractive photographs of food for use in advertisements, packaging, menus or cookbooks. Professional food photography is a collaborative effort, usually involving an art director, a photographer, a food stylist, a prop stylist and their assistants - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_photography
 
I am not professional in food photography, i just want to share my photos using my entry level camera with kit lens. make a research about food photography, its all about lighting, props, composition, macro, and enhancing the image. http://digital-photography-school.com/food-photography-an-introduction

LIGHTING using the light from the window (natural light)


adding props

macro shot

composition
lahat ng mga picture is base on experimentation lang, marami pang dapat i-correct. sabi nga nila, pitik lang ng pitik. madaming matututunan kung ating susubukan. :)

mt. maculot; a view from (rockies)


MT. MACULOT,  located at Cuenca Batangas, 706 MASL (rockies), 1-2 hrs trekking from jump off point to rockies. A lots of mountaineer going to this mountain because of its breathtaking  view from the summit. meron 2 trails ang mt. maculot, the old trail and the new trail. as of now sarado na yung old trail and all mountaineers used the new trail. medyo may kahirapan ang pag akyat sa mt. maculot (for the beginner)  dahil puro assault, pero well-established naman ang trail, mahirap lang siguro kung tag-ulan. hindi din problema ang makukuhanan ng iinumin, along the trail madaming nagtitinda ng buko juice (10pesos) and halo-halo (30pesos).

from this view, no room for mistake. matarik at mabato sa point na ito ng summit kaya dapat triple ang pag iingat. 

skeleton of snake (sawa)
at the summit si kuya na nagbabantay ng tindahan (7-11 store kung tawagin ng mga mountaineer) ay gumagawa ng mga souvenir items galing sa buto ng sawa (snake). 

making souvenir
maraming umaakyat sa mt. maculot, kaya asahan na din na madaming basura. kung kaya naman natin dalhin yung kalat natin pababa sa jump off point dalhin na natin, minsan lang tayo aakyat ng bundok kaya sana hanggat maaari ingatan at alagan natin ang biyayang bigay ni Lord. be responsible :)

my first street photography (DPP SHUTTER GAME)


INTRAMUROS MANILA; it was a great experience na makasama sa competition na katulad nito. walang expectation na kahit anu, basta pitik lang ng pitik kasama ang humigit kumulang 200 photographer na nagsama-sama sa intramuros manila kung saan ginanap ang digital photographer philippines (DPP) SHUTTER GAME.



one thing na natutunan ko is kung paano ang tamang approach kapag kukunan mo ng picture ang isang tao. importanteng maging magalang at humingi ng permission sa kukuhanan mo o kaya naman pwede din picture, then give them malaking ngiti from your face, then lakad mabilis papalayo :)




 sabi nila street photography is all about candid shot, oh ayan candid shot haha, pero sabi ng idol ko (ricky ladia) “There are no rules in photography, but only parameters”.  well hindi naman talaga ako photographer eh,  nakikirami lang :P .  pero masarap mabigyan ng pagkakataon na makasama  sa  lecture ng mga kilalang personalidad sa larangan ng photography like sir RICKY LADIA (street photography), and JHAY JALLORINAS (landscape photography).


testing ng tamang composition (ewan ko kung tama ba talaga)

lamok talaga pinipicturan ko dito nagkataon lang na okay pala ung reflection sa kanal

sa lahat nang nakasama ko, nakakilala ko salamat sa masayang araw na kasama ko kayo. hanggang sa muling pagkikita, pitik lang ng pitik :)
