Green to Yellow and Back

March 13, 2010
Near Cafe St. Joe
Sagada, Philippines

I am a lazy bum. I am an "automatic-settings" girl.
I almost never, never touch manual controls of my camera.

But I figured, maybe there was something to all those high-falutin terms of DOF and apertures and high-speed, etc.

So here I was - trying to experiment on the focus of my cam by looking at a pair of flowers.
Well, what do you know...it does have a different effect



Taken with a Fujifilm Finexpic S602Z. No modification.

  1. good play in focus!...well if we don't make the most of what we have, its like we're losing out on something....my fault too, i never get to maximize/learn my camera....sayang talaga.

  2. and you have more expensive cams than I do..so in your case po....I heartily second the motion..sayang talaga...

    hehe...but you are right..even in point and shoots na simple cam, we ought to take time to learn/read about its features...

    I have a friend who has an old Nikon DSLR...don't know the model..but I was surprised that he even downloaded stuff and bought a book about that camera because he said he still had much to learn about its controls...and he has been using that cam for some time already...wow...

  8. mas ok ung photo sa right at least may PoV . Dapat maging trigger happy ka lalo na't digital na ang gamit . Parusa kung film pa yan. Try everything under the sun. CUs,MCUs, wide and kahit anong angle gawin mo . kahit na humiga ka pa sa ground o naka tungtong sa ibabaw ng poste. At least marami kang pagpipilian pag edit mo. And most of all pray ka. Ganyan ginagawa ko everytime nagshoshoot ako. " Lord mata mo ito ha... Powered by prayers ika nga.
