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!

Downloading Time!

Okay, so here I go downloading stuff again from the Internet and as I see it is going to take me around 8 hours to get that game that I want. It is crawling badly right now and I do not know of any source I can get this anymore in our side of the world so I have to do this. There are actually no more seeders when I used a Torrents Search Engine which probably is because the game is too old. I could not blame them if their web sites are full of ads and ultra low download rate. I guess they want their advertisements to be seen longer so we can be forced to get a premium account for faster download rates. I guess you know what site I am referring to.

I love this game too much that I am willing to wait this long rather than downloading the parts one by one instead. It is going to take me a long time but if you think about it; they are giving this away for free so who am I to complain?! Maybe if I get to see more seeders I would have faster download rates and I could manually configure my upload rate to be slower instead. I would like to dedicate bandwidth to this endeavor so people around my house might end up getting a slower connection tomorrow. I need to warn them as early as now. Anyway I need to satisfy my gaming needs and this is the only place I can get it, not that I am complaining but nobody gave me anything for Christmas. LOL!

My Shots @ The Avant Garde Wedding Photoshoot

Okay, here it is. I'll show you a glimpse of my set. I wanted the theme to be cohesive and since I learned something new about post processing it was just right to implement it to all the photos I have on the wedding set. Although it is painstakingly taking me too much time for a single photo, I think it came out right. It was well worth it. I think I also have taken advantage of the golden hour while on this shoot with the nocturnals. I like the different ways she actually gets the poses I want for the shoot. I'm talking about Jinri... she is Korean and if you look at the other pictures I have on my laptop, it would all consist of high fashion shots. These samples are all the wholesome more general viewing shots of the set. But you get the idea right? Cindy on the other hand was shot when it was almost night time so you can see the background a little darker than usual. Jinri were in some rooms in the orchidarium when we got those shots, hence the night effect. It was an awesome way to test out our flashes for off camera capabilities. It was really awesome! I still have another set which I have not finished so watch out for that!

Phone Retires and there are Promos!

Two cell phone companies just put up small kiosks on the office lounge and offered us free phones if we subscribe to their system. The offer is very nice since they usually cost around 4-5 thousand pesos in local malls. I wonder if these promotional products would be offered until next year. I plan to get an IPHONE because my current NOKIA 6280 is already giving up on me. It acts up when I put it on my pocket and shuts down by itself. I would really like to replace it but it has been very convenient for me.

The photos I took from it are also phenomenal. I took it on a climb last year and those are the photos above. Pretty nice huh?! You see it is really simple and very convenient to have a phone that will cater to your needs. I may get another one but this old one is going to be memorable. This actually started my frustrations with photography. I have an entry level camera now which I use for fashion and portraits. So you now see why I have these photos now.

I guess it did more to me than inspire me right?! I hope you like what it eventually had me do and appreciate the work I do now for models and their portfolios. I need a phone and I hope it performs better than this old one that I have. Otherwise it will just be paperweight when I get it from those companies. I think I need to see an on line store now. Where do I start?!
