snowy effect, very nice...what is the speed, did you use cooling filter?
orlypunzalan wrote on Feb 22, '06
I don't remember the speed anymore, what I remember only was that I used a polarizing filter to make the exposure longer.

arnel villavicencio po. i was there from 930am til 8pm :) if u were able to shoot kharu inside studio 3, ako po yung hiniraman nya ng camera as her props.
orlypunzalan wrote on May 2, '06
Hindi ko yata inabutan yung scene na humiram si Kharu ng camera. Umalis kasi ako ng OneWorkshop between 1:00 pm to 3:30pm. Nagshoot na lang ako by 4pm. Anyway, what other group do you belong to? pipho? photoworld? phphoto? Ur name sounds familiar eh.
bottleneck wrote on May 2, '06

orlypunzalan wrote on May 2, '06
ah, ok. Baligtad tayo: lurker ako sa pipho at active sa phphoto. :) Any camera clubs?
bottleneck wrote on May 2, '06
la po e. kayo po?
orlypunzalan wrote on May 2, '06
okay. I belong to Prize Photo Club, a cam club established since 1990. R club is an affiliate of the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation of the Phils. Ronald Ibay is a member of Framed Shots Camera Club na affiliate din ng Fppf. I'm sure you are familiar with Edwin Loyola diba? Member din sya ng Framed shots.
bottleneck wrote on May 2, '06
yup, i saw edwin's works here at multiply tapos i was able to meet him last saturday. question lang po, what do i get if i join a cam club? recommended po ba kahit based ako dito sa laguna?
orlypunzalan wrote on May 2, '06
naku, ang layo mo pala. Ang camera club kc namin meets every 2nd thursday of the month at 7pm here in Makati. While Ronald and Edwin's club meets during weekends. Every 3rd Sunday yata sila. Syempre, iba yung may camera club, kc may camaraderie among people of the same interest. We also have monthly assignments just like pipho pero sa min, we submit 8x10prints then we invite judges to judge the photos. Basically, hobbyist group lang kami. Actually, we are more on camaraderie kaya 2nd na lang yung magcontest kami every month. We do our monthly assignments just for fun. Joining camera clubs helps you hone your craft as well kasi the experts can teach or advice you.
bottleneck wrote on May 2, '06
wow, sarap sana sumali kaso ang layo ko nga lang. sana magkaroon din ng cam club dito sa place namin.

orlypunzalan wrote on May 2, '06
San ka sa Laguna?
bottleneck wrote on May 2, '06
sta. rosa po.
ronaldibay wrote on May 2, '06
Naku sir. Hindi po ako member ng Framed Shots Camera Club.Ive seen Sir Edwin Loyola's photos. Very inspiring. Idol ko na nga sya eh. I wonder nakapag-subscribe ba ako sa egroups nila or blogspots. Freelance lang po kasi ako. Hobbyist lang talaga. But I'll be more than willing kung aampunin nila ako. hehehe. Or any other clubs. Kaso wala pa po akong Basic Photography Course na na-take *sigh* at wala pa din akong na-invest na magandang camera. Low-end digicam lng talaga *sigh ulit.* I wonder may kapangalan ako sa Pinoy Photographers. Member po ako ng phphoto and phdigitalart.
ronaldibay wrote on May 2, '06
Sayang. Na-miss ko yung EPIX Day. *sigh ulit*
orlypunzalan wrote on May 3, '06
Guys, I feel very old when you say "po" to your replies...LOL!!
Hmmm, so Ronald if ur not a member of FS Cam Club, then kaanu ano mo yung Ibay na member nila? They are actually husband & wife tandem. Ako din makiki-"sigh" sa iyo dahil film-based pa rin ako eh, nakakahiya na nga yung itsura ng camera ko (eos 300), 8 years na rin sa kin to & my friends say may ROI na ako sa camera ko. But don't feel too bad about it, sabi nga nila eh, "It's the operator, not the equipment". Hobbyist din lang ako. FPPF is conducting a year-round workshop at Fort Santiago, why not enroll? P2.5k yata ang fee for 4 Sundays. Graduate kami pareho ni Sir Edwin L. dun. Sa club namin, gusto mo magpa-ampon???? :) I'm a member of phphoto too.
orlypunzalan wrote on May 3, '06
Hi Arnel, why not post a message at phphoto inviting or suggesting Laguna members to form and start a club? Somewhere among the threads may nabasa ako na ganyan eh sa phphoto. Di ko lang alam kung nagmaterialize.....errr, or was it Las Pinas??? :)
bottleneck wrote on May 3, '06, edited on May 3, '06
ok, wala ng "po". :-) pag may nag invite na lang uli na malapit dito sa amin. ayaw ko mag initiate, may day job kasi ako and i have 2 kids, baka di ko lang maasikaso.
ronaldibay wrote on May 3, '06
Sori sir. Nasanay lang ako na may "po" pag may kausap ako. Naiilang kasi ako sa kausap ko pag alang "po" especially if I dont even know him/her personally. Parang alang respect. Exempt na lang kita if you want. :) Dami namang Ibay dito. Siguro magtatagpo din landas namin. Sana ma-meet ko sila. "It's the operator, not the equipment". Saludo ako dyan. I tried enrolling sa FPPF before. Pero they require manual cam ata. Kaya di ako natuloy. Hanap muna ako ng cam para makapag-enrol.
Ano po ba requirements para makajoin sa club nyo?
orlypunzalan wrote on May 3, '06
Ok lang yun Ronald, kahit ako sanay tumawag ng Sir, Mam, at gumamit ng "po" pag strangers ang kausap. Can u kindly send me your email address so I could forward to you Ka Lito's answer regarding the workshop requirements? My email: orly@agmcalaw.com.ph. You don't need manual camera, anything from film to digital is allowed except point and shoots. Requirements ng club namin: You need to attend at least 6 months in a year to be regarded as member, regular, that is. Of course, you have to be updated with your membership due (P4k - but can be paid on staggered basis depending on one's financial status). I pay P500 every month until I get to pay the whole 4k.
orlypunzalan wrote on May 3, '06
Thanks, Arnel. Although I'm sure I'm older than you and Ronald. Hehe.
bottleneck wrote on May 3, '06
i'm turning 30 sa august. same school pala tayo nag graduate, PUP batch 96 ako, accountancy.

yung pics dito sa album, film camera ang ginamit mo? anong film? ganda ng kulay.

i'm trying film slr too. naka 2 colpan b&w film na ko kaso di ko pa napadevelop yung isa.
ronaldibay wrote on May 4, '06
Thank you sir. You can forward it sa rmibay@yahoo.com. My contact info is in my profile. With regards dun sa club, I'll let you know. Thanks.
orlypunzalan wrote on May 4, '06, edited on May 4, '06
Yes Arnel, still film-based. I also use colpan as it is the cheapest b&w film around. Although i have to admit the film is very contrasty. I have a folder here named Manila North Cemetery. All of the pictures there were taken with this cheapy film. I tweaked the levels at photoshop to decrease the contrast, then I colourized the images with a blue-violet tint to make the images feel more gloomy. Most of my color films are Fuji Superia 100, 400, YKL100 and a few slides (Velvia/Provia100). Well, most of the images here underwent photoshop. I just increase the saturation to make the colors really pop up.

Oh by the way, Arnel, barely 4 months pa lang akong natuto sa photoshop. Photoshop is such a wonderful tool for us photographers, though digital manipulation is not my cup-of-tea.

I have high respects for film based photographers! keep it up! but its always best to learn both film and digital

Hi Kerwin, I've always wanted to shift to digital kaya lang I don't have the luxury of buying one. I just have the negs scanned then I enhance (not manipulate) them in photoshop. I'm a newbie when it comes to photoshop so I am still exploring the wonders it can do to my photos.
keps2000 wrote on Jun 17, '06
both digital and film based cameras has their own pros and cons,
film based cameras for one, makes you a more disciplined photographer. on the other hand going digital makes processing and viewing your photos faster.

anyway patience is a virtue! as long as you enjoy your craft good things will come to you. in other words...........dadating din yang digital mo!
