I'm very excited for this photography workshop that will be conducted by Niccolo Cosme this July 23 in Kawit, Cavite. The workshop is in partnership with National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Kawit Tourism office, Lightning House Studio and Project Headshot Clinic. This is a free workshop in celebration of the upcoming Kawit Day this August 1, 2011.

I want to attend this workshop, because it is free and its the rare event happening here in Cavite, my location to Kawit is very near and its only a 15 minute jeep or bus ride from the place were I stay the whole day. Its a great opportunity also to learn from the masters in taking good portrait shots and I want to learn more because I feel that portrait shots is one of my favorite style in photography.

(photo by Natsumi Hayashi)
I just saw her stuff after I google it and discover her style first on flickr. Super cute to see her levitating with different poses and concept. The photo shows that Natsumi Hayashi floats in air and travels around Japan. I found her blog and she reveals that she took the photos all by herself using a self timer. oh wow!

looks like we're going to try her levitation poses in our next photography study

Have you dabbled in photography? Ever wondered if you can replicate those lovely photos you so admire in magazines and displayed at museums? I do have a penchant for the arts and there is no denying I love looking at beautiful and compelling photos. So much so I am now partly spending time learning more on how to be a master photographer.

I got my SLR camera a few months ago after I begin noticing how my non-photographer friends seem to have crispier and awesome casual photos. I discovered it was the equipment so I became determined to graduate from my old but reliable digital camera. The decision was timely as I now have a child who I can practice my photography skills on.

But aside from taking photos of my son's milestones, I began experimenting with various subjects. I am not an outdoor type of person so nature was definitely out. I was limited to things I can find and are happening indoors. Thus, for some time I became the designated photographer of the family. Responsible for capturing those momentous events like birthdays and holidays. I appreciated the opportunity to learn and hone my craft. And my family is quite easy to please and happy for the free service I render.

I am now working on my wife's costume jewelry collection. She has acquired quite a few interesting pieces over the years that I guess I'd like to further immortalize through photography. The inspiration came when I happen to come across Compton & Woodhouse. The company is noted for their expertise in taking masterful shots of jewelries. Something I aspire to acquire someday. The brilliance of stones and gems and even the shimmer of gold make jewelries a tricky subject to photograph. And it does takes a lot of knowledge and skill to capture the beauty and essence of every piece. And I am just realizing that now.

But still I do want to give my wife's treasures their due justice. So I continue to try. And with time and effort I am sure I'll get there soon.

Do you have any tips on taking beautiful shots of jewelries?

I subscribed to Flickr Pro for the 1st time (using my own money) and I extended my pro account for another year and it will expire next year April 2012. I decided to use Flickr for now on in hosting large photo files and albums for my blog. I can still upload more photos in Multiply and in Facebook, but uploading it in Flickr is much easier for me in blogging and using a Windows Live Writer adds a little help in posting the entire photos in my Flickr album. I like that feature and posting all photo contents in my blog is fast and easy to manage. (more story below)

Here re some tools and plug ins I used for my Flickr

1. Flickr photo uploader - its free and you can install this in your PC and use it to upload a batch of photos to your account.

2. Flickr photo uploader v.2.5 - I still love the old version, I still have this old version If I need to upload on the fly. I use this old ver in uploading Original Size photos to Flickr.

3. Flickr plug in for Windows Live Writer - I installed this plug in to my Windows Live Writer and its a helpful tool for me in posting large group of photos from an album to my blog post.

Thanks to some blog earnings and to my readers for acquiring this subscription.
Do you use Flickr Pro ? if you have any tips or tools or plug ins that you want to share, feel free to post it here.

Btw, I like to share here some photos uploaded by my Flickr friends and that I follow
ohhh you can add me in Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/people/popazrael/

The whole gang is here at home and we are busy in our house doing some chores, play with Ash, do some blog back logs, argue with a slow internet speed, cook and eat, and also relax. Lace put up her own garage sale at home and its doing well after the launch last Sunday. The garage sale is open at around 4pm and she sells her old and good condition clothes.. I almost cried to see her plaid skirts up for sale.. ahh memories.
