The ELITE... X Factor

Tomorrow is one heck of a nervous day for me. I am going to meet my idol in photography again. This time it's not just for the ordinary autograph but I'm going to be there shooting with him in a workshop. I hope I get to justify my photos and be at par with the best ones there. I think I can, I think I can ahaha!

The reason that I'm nervous is that I probably don't have the same cameras or lenses that they have. I have proven to some that its really not the camera but dang they probably have full framed ones and professional grade too. I probably will harness doing the shoot with my prime lens and the kit lens but I will ask how to do portraits with my long ziggy too. Ziggy btw is my tele lens which is a 70-300mm. It's last hundred is pretty good in bokeh or depth of field views. Though the drawback is the shake I will have to take a little more effort reminding myself how it would actually affect the image. I think I'd be better off with the prime lens. I'm charging my camera the whole night so I won't run out of batteries. I need this to last the whole day... and so does my flash. If my hunch is correct its quite near the Salcedo park where there is a whole eating extravaganza. I want to really do this and OMG please help me to do this right. I hope I won't be shy... I really want to learn. Tomorrow is going to be weird... I'm going to be a nervous wreck and I hope this doesn't jeopardize my chances of learning with the great Xander Angeles. I'm even nervous tweeting him hahahah!

I just hope this 18K worth of a workshop will be well worth it and get me to a level that I haven't been in before. =)

Any Suggestions?!

I went out last night with friends and I was really happy I got to see them again because the last time we wrecked the metro was last October. I think I was really too busy with photography that I forgot about them. Not that it is a bad thing but I guess I was too pre occupied with it. I have a lot of things to do today including finishing the photo I need to submit to the office so they can put my face everywhere since they gave me the MOE award LOL.

As for the stuff I need to learn, apart from the new techniques in photoshop, I need to also learn the things concerned with video editing and presentations. I need to also learn layouts of wedding albums since I will put up a portfolio.. I need to print it out too and that might cost me a lot. The layout should also be easily modifiable since I will probably use it on other weddings after that. Maybe I'll save it on original psd format so the only thing that I will do is copy and paste the pictures afterwards. That would be neat! Can you suggest sites where I can get them?! Thanks!
