Reversed Lens Test Shoot

Even before when I have not yet had any camera of this kind I always wondering how could they do such macro shots with just all by the kit lens which I thought only you could come up of such a macro shot is to set another expenses for buying a lens meant for macro. But until this tutorial which I found from deviantart.com has illustrated how to reverse a lens to have a macro shot. Though it needs to have this adapter to stably fit in the lens what I did was just simply tighten the lens with camera body of rubber bands. It really had to be mounted to a tripod because of how naturally shaky your hands are will double the effect through the lens.

CPL Test Shoot

After a long week of cloudy and bad weather since I finally got my camera and wait until when the sun would come out now I am glad of what this little piece brought me, It is called CPL or Circular Polarizer Lens. Ever since I am fond of shooting clear blue sky that is why I immediately bought this filter together with my camera but not until now which I finally had a proper shots taken with it as the first one was quite darker, and got fully fascinated of the results.

Mini Studio Shoot

Here are the shots I took with my improvised mini studio

This was just made up of a white paper as the background and a tiny lamp which I just picked nearby to have this good lighting. It was quite exhausting as I had to lay down and steadily carry over this heavy camera.

Canon EOS Rebel XS / 1000d

Finally, the most anticipating long time one of my wish list has just coming true. February 2,2009 was when I bought it worth 30k plus 1k for the CPL filter. This would not be possible without all the support of funding this cost. From my mama who gave me consideration of this craving which is going to be my serious hobby and most especially to my brother whom at first I settle it by borrowing him money which I promised to pay it after when I have my stable job but a surprise was then I received, he decided to just not account me to pay for it instead it will serve as gift for my graduation. I am so glad of what had happened.
As of now, I handed the camera with just all in basics as I am yet undergoing a series of tests to study and distinguish several different adjustments. Until now I could not imagine of carrying this stuff and by just a simple way of having its strap right on my neck was just a bizzare even in my wildest dreams. I am so grateful for this kind of blessing.
Below was my first shot. I tried to create a bokeh with the canon cap as foreground and it never prove me wrong. Next shot was when I tested my CPL(Circular Polarizer Lens) filter. And as what I expected from a result of this filter it brought up a bluer sky and more contrast to the image. I was so happy the day I tested my camera and it was all worth it. I am looking forward for chances to shoot outdoor and might as well meet some of the hobbyists of photography.

A very late composition

I know this is a very late composition of my 09's resolution, but I'm quite determined to create a scheme which I might possibly do it the way I should. So here it goes my personal list of new year's resolution:

1st, would have be something to do with my myself, ever since I always keep on seeking ways or how to's on how to be mature time by time but it seemed really nothing was changed or just for any little improvement of myself. So by this year Im coping up to be mature or even not of being one at least to be a good individual to my citizens which I know from the first place whatever you did something valuable to someone it will bring back to you though I'm not anticipating that but at least I know from myself that Im responsible.

2nd, as the following months gone by, and hopefully overcome my last moment of being a student, I presume a would going to have a stable job by the coming summer. I planned to just a month vacation that I will going to spend and next would be the real time of entering the world of industry. This probably motivates me more to respond my roles as a child to my parents and a brother to my younger siblings of standing right next to them whenever they need my help and of course putting myself after them as I wanted to be accountable enough to sustain my responsibilities.

3rd, From now on I should start starting each day with a happy aura which I believe this would take my life longer. And also to inspire the others who never laugh at their problems but instead of resenting. I wanted to experience life as problem is not such a thing. I wanted to rule myself by not letting any burdens overthrow me.

4th, Since, I finally realize that whenever friends or familiar people have the chance to communicate with and eventually asking and exchanging words such "kumosta na?", I always replied of common response like "Ok lang" which turned out as by its default with nothing has the option to other way, thus so boring. As this, really bothers me which I think from my point of view is to start a new hobby. A hobby that something I could be proud of myself and something that I can share it others and ending my day so much fulfilled. And that is PHOTOGRAPHY. I planned to have an efficient camera preferably a DSLR. Which nowadays I am certainly learn to appreciate photos and browsing and visiting photography sites. As this hobby would not only help you enjoy in one perspective but a bunch of it. Looking forward to have one as early as I can.

5th, I will be more disciplined which I know until now I'm not a kid anymore but still a kid in habits. I strive to be more environment conscious like observing cleanliness and even fixing my beddings as until now I could not make it. Be more cautious to whatever might happen of putting myself and decisions always being safe and also be proper to my activities.
