Photography
I have had a strong interest in photography since my Junior year in high school. Actually before that but that was when I read a book about photography and fell in love with the subject.
I usually underestimate my pictures, at least I think I do. I’ll see a picture I took and not like it much, then I’ll see it a few months later and go wow, that is a nice picture. Then I find out it is mine. I took it.
I don’t have the equipment I need but then I don’t know how to fully use what I have, at least I don’t’ think so. I’m getting a lot more practice in lately but I need to find some new places to go. I can always take more and more pictures of people. but I also need new places. The funds have kept me from that. On the other hand, I can walk past a place several times and see something I’ve never seen before and find a new picture in a place I’ve been many times. Perhaps I find a new place in an old place.
I would love to have a dark room and work with real film but much of what I have on the computer gives me that dark room and enables me to enjoy Photography more than I ever dreamed possible way back in my junior year in high school and my paper on Photography.

As always, your pictures are enjoyable Rus. I was looking for the picture of the fat woman holding 2 chickens. I can’t seem to find it? It was in the Living in the Philippines slide.
Christine, I took that picture when I was on my way to Bantayan Island. That might help you find it.
I’ll try to find it, if I can, I’ll point you to it.
Wow I like seeing all the photos that you have taken. I have been wanting to get into photography for a while and I think my vacation to PI will be a great place to start. I don’t have that great of a camera now I am debating on buying a better one. The camera I have now is a quick shoot type with 10 mega pixels so the quality of the photos is pretty good as well as being fast and easy to use. The biggest problem is that the lighting has to be just right or they do not come out well, plus the fact that I am not that experienced yet.
I have never used Picasa how do you like it? Is it free? I use Flickr.com it is free for the 1st 200 photos or so and you are limited to like 3 albums if you want to add more pic or get more albums you have to pay an annual fee. It has a lot of features so it’s a great site for photography and it has MANY users so getting and giving feedback is a benefit. There is a lot of armature as well as professional photographers there with many genres and styles.
I’m dying for a better cam.
I want a Cannon 50d I think it is. It is EXPENSIVE.
Picasa is mostly free. You can upload a ton of pictures before the fees start and it includes editing software. I BOUGHT Picasa when it first came out but it was not for storing pictures online, rather it was for finding your pictures on your hard drive.
I only use it now to backup my photos. Flicker is the best for sharing your photo’s online. No doubt about it! Since I have a website, I prefer to do just do it here. Though some bloggers use Flicker to help improve their search engine ranking. I have never looked into for that purpose.
Most of the pictures on the site were taking with two 10 year old cameras. For really great shots, you need a camera with a large lens and it needs to be SLR if you can afford it.
Thanks for the kind words.
Really enjoyed your pictures
Great lifestyle u have found

I’m already well indexed. I do plan on adding some video. Right now I don’t have a computer that can handle the editing.
I like to keep my pictures on my site, eats up some hard drive space but then I don’t have two sites to back up. :)

i watching news reports of floods in manila sunday 27th sept 09. tragic scenes
I didn’t have any luck finding it Christine. It might be on http://cebuexperience.com or http://bantayaislandtours.com I remember which picture you’re talking about. It was when we were getting on the ferry to go to Bantayan Island.
I wonder why someone would need to go out and bring chickens back too the egg capital of the Philippines. :)
