stop motion with olympus e-p1

this motion stop video is amusing and amazing. took them 60,000 shots, 10,000+ prints using the small but very powerful olympus ep-1 (picture below).

this e-p1 is, if i have not mistaken, the first camera to use the micro four-thirds technology. that is right, this camera is like an SLR that can fir in your pocket. it has 12 megapixel live mos sensor, can shoot up to 720p HD video, built-in image stabilization (IS), and a lot more features you can find on most digital SLR now. that you can own for about $ 800 or P 38,000 with zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 and 17mm f2.8 pancake lenses included in the package.

bohol beach and side trip (long overdue pics)

this overly planned (sarcasm included) bohol-cebu getaway was the first time my friends and i had to fly on an airplane and that is worth mentioning. i am having difficulty on what to write on this post since it has been months ago, but the experience was amazing (and that is still understatement to describe how the trip was).

i was disappointed with my shots. pictires could either be rated underexposed or overexposed. i think i was too overwhelmed with the excitement of touring bohol, and i got no time to evaluate the pictures i took. but i learned one great lesson from that - "you are just wasting money and reputation if you can't get your pictures right". i know i am just single gram to greatness but i was in manual mode that time and i really dunno what i was thinking. btw, pictures are posted below:

list if the places we've been to:

1. bohol beach club
2. tarsier zoo (that is not what they call it"
3. hanging bridge
4. man-made forest (feast to my eyes)
5. butterfly farm
6. loboc river cruise
7. that old church that i do not know (cause i did not went outside the van when we get there)
8. that huge snake (i let it pass and decided to sleep in the van)
9. bohol bee farm (where i had my first experience of eating flowers)

tinkering on my new toy.... kendra

i have not touched olyver for a very while now.. i might have been too busy with work, and with my new toy, kendra. she is not the playboy goddess we know with the bouncing boobie and a comedic wedding; but she is my new macbook pro that is 23 days with me now.

pardon for the low quality pictures; i bet olyver was jealous that very day and did not cooperate with this photo shoot.

wondergirls' nobody: new beginning of network war

korean pop group wondergirls made a big international hit with the single "nobody"; even the philippines has been caught in this craze. undeniably, the upbeat tempo will give you a long-lasting LSS. and once you saw the video, it did not fail that you will get hypnotized seeing yourself grooving the *point *clap-clap *point *clap. even the famous cebu inmates took a piece in the popularity of the hit song.

but that is not the big news here. one of the hottest topic on forums and even coffee tables from different coffee shops now is how ABS-CBN and GMA were able to present the song through its variety shows. its again the beginning of a new era in network war; not on the ratings but on production numbers. see those videos for yourself; then judge who wins this side of the network war.

check it also in youtube so you may confirm if your harsh critiques are same as the others.

Could iPhone be a serious photography tool??

Got this article from Cnet Australia that talks about how some people use iPhone as serious photography tool. According to the article, iPhone has taken the top spot for the most device used on Flickr.

Well, iPhone does really take good pictures despite it's specs. I can say it is better than a 5 megapixel Nokia phone with flash. I have had some good shots with my iPhone which got erased when I upgraded my firmware. Will try to check if I still got some good shots from my iPhone.
