Playing with Geena's camera

I've been testing Geena's camera feature for the past week. She comes with a 5.0 megapixel camera that rivals my old Cybershot T5. In daylight, she takes clear pictures without the flash. The focus was a little off coz I took this shot while in a moving van. So far the details are crisp.


Though I still need to practise taking pictures at arms length. Some people I know, like my best friend's sister, Lynne, can take pictures of herself perfectly centered using her cameraphone. In this one, I forgot that the light was behind us... hehe! Amateur!




Then I tested her torch light. Kyle was not very happy coz he hates the flash. In fairness, I tried it on myself and I started seeing black spots for over a minute after taking the picture.


When I reviewed the images in the phone, the colors were not so bright. I expected the red hues to jump out. Maybe it's the gray skies or the lack of light that caused it. But when I transfered it to the computer, the colors were better. Hmmm, not really wild about that.

I fiddled with Geena's camera at night, and so far I'm kinda disappointed coz the images are blurry and the torch is really blinding me. After pressing the shutter button, she takes 3 secs to focus and shoot.

Overall, Geena's camera is not bad, but it doesn't stand out either. The entire experience is FIDGETY.

Maybe I just need to play around and be more familiar with her. Get to know her better.

sepia september morning


It's the first day of September*. I've been awake since 4:00 am. Wala lang. Just couldn't sleep.

It's now 6:00am. I've been fiddling with my camera's Sepia feature. I realized that Sepia is the best way to capture the rays of the morning sun. I can see the way the light dances on the curtains and on the sofas.


Even my high school grad picture looks older, elegant, but older.


Note to self: Next time that you wake up early, grab the camera and take pictures OUTSIDE! Best time to go jogging too! Hehe!!!

*(Actual entry date is Sept 1, delayed posting due to router problems. That's another story.)

Allan's photographs

I was chatting with my cousin, Kuya Allan Penaranda the other day who shared his love of photography with me. He's literally been all over the world working on a cruise ship. He gave me permission to share some samples of his work as he travels along the Mediterranean and the Carribean. Thanks Kuya Allan!

Santorini cliffside hotels and resorts. Hmmm, reminds me of the set of Mama Mia! the movie.

I love his work! Composition is great, and his play of shutter speed and lighting really paid off in capturing the beauty of the places!
