Not a Bunch of Photographers, just 2 Hobbyist!

Since Jem and I had been doing some random photowalks for the past few months, little did I know that my aunt would notice it and actually ask us to be the photographers for their mini photoshoot!

By the second week of March, my aunt approached me and asked me to assist them along with Jem (since he was the owner of the camera HAHA). The photoshoot was scheduled on March 25, Saturday, at the La Mesa Eco Park located somewhere in Novaliches, Quezon City. I informed Jem about this and he immediately agreed.

Still, I warned my aunt that we are just a bunch of hobbyist! Still learning the ropes of photography through Google and some guidance from our photographer friends.

Photography and Travel Enthusiasts, UNITE!

Nowadays, lakwatseras (or travelers, for a kinder term HAHA) are more in tuned in producing not just selfies, but what most people call as 'artsy' shots. Of course this is already achievable with whatever camera you got; may it be your smartphone, your trusted sports cam, or what have you. As long as you got the right place, the right angle.

But there's just this something that makes you want to produce an output that is more than just for posting on your IG feed. And this can be achieved if you have more freedom of control on your device. So you can remove or lessen that annoying glare of the sun on your artsy shot, so that the sharpness of the mountains on the distance will be prominent, so that the waves of the ocean will have that realistic texture that you oh-so-crave for... Yeah, yeah post processing is a thing, but what if you can produce that same result with just a raw shot, right?

Yes, SLRs and DSLRs has been on market for the past millennia (exaggeration, I know), but not everyone has the time to learn its technicalities and the money to purchase a good one. Good thing mirror-less cameras had made its niche on the market!

Adulting 101: Sony a6500 Consumer Launch

When Kuya Noel, one of the running buddies of Jem's mom (see post here and here), PMed Jem that he saw a photography workshop offered by Sony, we immediately registered through the link he gave.

We didn't really expect much from this workshop since it was for free but we were nonetheless excited to attend one. Add to the fact that they will be conducting a raffle with a prize of one new Sony Alpha 6000!
