Even before the final round started, the current world’s youngest GM was already the sure winner. As promised, here’s the final standings and the gallery of pictures I took during the 11th and final round of the tournament.
It’s a Western Digital My Book Premium Edition 500GB, that used to hold thousands of my pictures ever since I bought my Canon EOS 30D. Add to that the thousands as well of audio, video, programs, and data files. This is the picture that’s worth a thousand pictures.
Save for the images uploaded and saved [...]
You were in a classy restaurant, freshly served with the hot food you ordered, whipped out your camera and started shooting the elegantly presented food in the plate in front of you. But then you wondered why you can’t really come up with a superb picture, not even just duplicate the photo of the food [...]
Had an opportunity to shoot at models today at the Photo World Manila 2008 Exhibit at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati, Philippines.
Visit my flickr photos for more pictures. More uploads are coming up in the photoset.
This photographic opportunity proved the fact that I was yet indeed an amateur when it comes to photography, especially wedding photography. I guess it was a hard lesson learned for me as I forgot to bump up the ISO to well at least 800 as darkness crept into that night

I have always regarded flickr as a social photo sharing site. As a matter of fact it is, indeed. It's a place where you can comment on other people's photos while they can comment as well in yours. It's one major factor why I upgraded to a "pro" account (well, actually someone purchased it for me.LOL)
But, what if another flickr user blocked you from his photostream?
The heck with that! I'll just unsubscribe to his photostream. You find me annoying? I'm not going to visit that stream again! You're just recycling your photos, anyway. You'll see the same photo uploaded long ago coming back to the front page.

I would like to start a meme of my own. I want to call it "Where in the World is This Place?" I'll be featuring photos from deuts.net photography. Those of you who know the place or would like to make a guess may leave a comment below.
Here goes: I took this picture in a prohibited place to take pictures, which I guess only applies to DSLR but not to P&S and camera phones.
The Manila Cathedral from the outside. The lens I used (28mm) was not enough to cover all the front of the church. These are the times that you realize the value of a super wide angle lens.
Because of the limited amount of light entering the gymnasium, I bumped up the ISO to 1600, and set the camera mode to shutter priority (Tv). I noticed that a shutter speed of 1/250 of a second is not enough to freeze the hard packed action, so I increased it a third increment to 1/320 sec. Then I tried positioning myself on a higher ground while avoiding shooting directly against the windows.
I'm quite frustrated that my new lens, the EF 28mm f/1.8 USM, didn't arrive in time for this event. I could have gotten a lot better pictures. I had to resort to my EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6, which is not ideal for indoors and low-light conditions.
More of the pictures can be found in my gallery.
