Red Lirio

This flower belongs to the Lilium family and is commonly named 'Lirio'. This flower exists in different colors like any flower do. I like seeing it, so I took a photo of it. I asked my mother to pick this flower so that I could take a shot. Then I remembered a movie with Eddie Garcia saying to his son "Paborito ko talaga ang Lirio. Alam mo anak, ang babae ay parang bulaklak-huwag mo itong pipitasin kung ito'y sisirain at itatapon lang din." I hope I quoted it right. So, how did I took this shot? I used my Canon Rebelt2i using 55-250mm lens, set it manually using f/5, 4sec, ISO100 and RAW. I put the flower inside the room where the only source of light is from the window. Then i took some post processing using Adobe Lightroom. Now, you can see it the way i want it. 

                                                                           I hope you like it.

Weipa Fishing Classic

June 9,2012 I was in Weipa Australia. I'm so glad to be part of their annual celebration "Weipa Fishing Classic". It was indeed a great time.

As we were waiting for our taxi service, I enjoyed the sun going down. Few minutes after the sunset, i took a shot at this car "w/o the owners permission, lol.." and it gave me a great perspective. I showed it to the owner later on and he was so amazed. I can still remember what he told me then, "Just don't sell it mate.". It was really great. I told him that i would just put it in personal use, lol.

Using Photomatix, I created an HDR image out of the bracketed (AEV -2,0,+2) photos I took. Then as my eye sees it, I concluded my editing up to this point of view. I hope you'll love this photo.

Here are some photos i took during the celebration:
