For some people, paying $600 for an iPad is out of the question. I happen to be one of those people. I did a lot of research and testing when I got my hands on this Zenithink ZT-180 epad, apad thing. There are different variants to this device. Mine happens to be the 1GHz ARM Processor, 256MB ram, 2GB nand version. This is my basis for the tutorial. If you have a different device, make sure you get the files specific to your unit. Checking...

Here’s a useful article I found on Photography Bay. I find it useful because I’ve shot a few weddings as a back up photographer. I’ve been using some of these composition rules myself. These common compositions can be useful to photographers who haven’t shot a single wedding and are looking to go into the business. When shooting a wedding, here are the things to look for: Symmetry Reflections Rows Intentional...

On April 30, a bunch of the hardcore peeps from our photo club (IPC) took a trip to Visca, Baybay, Leyte. Although the weather wasn’t on our side for most of the days we were there, we did however got some interesting macro, landscape and sunset shots. For my macro, I have no idea what the names of any of the insects I took so I just made names up. For our landscapes, I’m not familiar with the names of any of the places we went to...

The OtakuFest is a an annual cosplay event held at the UP Cebu Grounds in Lahug, Cebu City. It’s a gathering of cosplayers who strut their costumes and strengthen their bond with other cosplayers. There are contests, bands, and a few skits. It’s a little bit like the Comic Con in Las Vegas except it’s a bit scaled down. A lot of photographers are drawn to these events because of the elaborate costumes  and the fun people....

This was a photo session organized by renowned photographer and artist, [Dexter Bongo] in behalf of IPC. This session was more of a lesson than a shoot. We learned how to manipulate light through Dexter’s eyes and capture compelling shots for our individual portfolios. The things we learned were priceless. Anyway, here are the shots: [View with PicLens] ...

I apologize for my recent laziness. I haven’t been able to mind my blog lately. Anyway, since I haven’t been up to date with the tech world, I’ll share what I’ve been up to. Rod Evan Incorporado, a photographer and also a good friend of mine, organizes these photo sessions with his models. I’ll be sharing the latest shoot we did in Fort San Pedro, Cebu City. Hope you enjoy. For this shoot, I decided to do something...

People who attended were: Brian Me Anwar Alvin Jude Glenn Gerard Ryan Prove Rod Grace Jonolin Ives …and Anwar’s friend...

Our Trip to General Santos City was a blast. I was able to meet great people, take great shots, and have the most relaxing time of my life. We flew in from Cebu City to Davao on Cebu Pacific. Then From Davao, we took a road trip to General Santos with my uncle. We were housed at the [Sarangani Highlands]. We visited Glan, South Cotabato, and the Sarangani Province. All in all, it was a trip to remember. Here are all the shots I...

As I’ve stated in my previous post, I’m concentrating more on my Photography now than Tech. Although I still continue to develop websites for clients and friends, I’m more into my camera than my computer during my free time. Anyway, I spotted an article in one of the forums I’m active in (Istorya.net) which I think is a great guide for any photographer who wants to go into weddings. I think I’m one of those...

I haven’t been able to post here lately, mainly because I have involuntarily become a very busy bee. I haven’t been up to date on the tech world, which is usually what I’m on top of most of the time. I have been continuing my work on current clients which I think is going great except for a few minor issues. Finally, I’ve been focusing more on my photography, which I think is not world class…yet. I apologize for not...

Minority Report is starting to become reality. People will soon be reading newspapers that broadcast breaking news just like in the train scene. LG is pushing for the mass production of their recently announced flexible E-paper. The company expects to begin mass producing 9.7-inch color and 19-inch flexible e-paper, according to an SEC filing. I can’t wait till this hits the shelves. Thanks [PC...

Here in the Philippines, the weather is generally hot and humid. Thus, most upper and middle class households take advantage of air conditioning. The only problem here is, A/C units cost an arm and a leg because of the wages we make. Here’s a DIY airconditioning unit which doesn’t only provide better ventilation, but also gets rid of the smell of cigarettes. All you’ll need are two buckets, a pump, and a fan. Source:...

It definitely looks like what you think it is. Yup! It’s a penis DSLR. Yaniv Berg’s concept is instead of holding the camera to your eyes, the user points it to frame a subject at stomach level. For guys, it will look like you have a big hard on protruding out of your tummy. This is definitely a camera I want. However, there’s no pricing or availability. It’s just a design. Cool design though. Source: [Yanko...

A while back, I ordered a Canon T1i from the states through my boss. It was mailed using a balikbayan box. In the meantime, I was using my Dad’s Nikon D90 to do my photography work. What I ordered was a bundle. The bundle came with a kit lens and a zoom lens. It cost me a total of $917 with tax. Now that same [bundle] costs $1099 without tax. So I guess I was lucky when I ordered it. July 21, 2010 was the day it arrived. I picked up my T1i...

Either this person is bored out of his mind, which I think I am today, or just plain naive, retarded, and a major idiot. He writes a beautifully composed email to a Twitter spammer that will bring you to tears if you read it. If you’re a Twitterer, or Twit or Twittist or whatever the term is, you’ll understand that there are a lot of spammers out there with Twitter accounts. The fastest way to tell, is the number of followers they...
