I am currently enrolled in a photography class and part of that graduation requirements is to submit a still life and portrait photo. Graduation is on Sunday and its already Friday- I still don't have any pictures. I had the chance to think about my subject last two days and these are my two shots with no photoshop actions (yes, photoshop is a no-no).
Still Life: Glass Wine
Portrait using natural light (SUN) What do you think huh? Labels: photography |

| I want a DSLR! |
| Sunday, August 05, 2007 |
I know a few bloggers who are really fond of photography. Just like them, Russell and I consider ourselves as camera maniacs. Having said that, we are thinking of buying a DSLR. Really, I am a photography-challenged gal and when it comes to capturing moments, I'll just leave it to Russell. He's a very good photographer. In fact, I saw some of his film shots---really awesome huh! Those are from his college class. (He is a ComArts graduate) But what comes to our mind when we speak of the word "digital" is, it's going to be expensive. Initially, I wanted to have a Nikon D80. But after a lot of considerations were made, I am finally convinced that a canon Rebel XTi will work for us. After all, we are not really professional photographers. We are just photo enthusiasts. Besides, the specs of this camera is not that bad at all. It's up to the owner how he can use this DSLR in its optimum level. Rebel XTi is undoubtedly cheaper than Nikon D80 but for somebody who is earning Peso, $750 is still P35,000. This doesn't include other kits yet. We could have afford to buy this one right away if only we don't have the wedding expenses to think about. Wedding is our priority right now. It's either we get coupon codes to get discounts or we'll wait next year until the price goes down. For quite sometime, I'm searching ebay in the hope of finding the best deal that I could have for the XTi. Then I came across Deal Locker. It's a website that provides its customer with coupon codes for their online shopping. Knowing that electronics products are relatively cheaper in the states than here, I got really interested with their electronics coupons. Dell, Dish, Best Buy and Tech Depot are just few names that you can find in this website under the electronics section. Working for Dell for more than a year, I know how their coupon codes work. In fact, I used to give as much as $100 coupon codes every time I get a Filipino customer. LOL I tried looking how many Dell coupon codes and how much money would I be able to save from Deal Locker.
What I got was a huge $150 off for Canon Rebel XTi! Sweet deal isn't it? Russell might get interested with this. Oh well, I'm just gonna surf for more discount. I'm now eyeing for their Victoria's Secrets coupon codes. Naughty naughty!!!

| Kix Tavora Digital Photography |
| Saturday, June 16, 2007 |
 (Note: This picture is not a promotional photo-shoot. They are real couple. You can check their AVP on this site. Astig yung groom di ba!)
It was way back march 2006 when I stumbled upon Kix Tavora's work through the yahoogroups of soon-to-be-wed couples, http://www.weddingsatwork.com/.
Since Russell and I were on a really tight budget, we really tried looking for a good photographer that will fit our budget. I really admire Dino Lara's and Mimi & Karl's works but unfortunately, having either one of them as our wedding photographer will cost us a fortune. There is no way that we could have afford their photography services. Though we were quite said that we can never have them on wedding, it seemed like heaven intervened. When I joined w@w, the name Kix Tavora has always been mentioned as one good back-up photographer. I checked the supplier ratings on him. Not that I only found good ratings but SUPERB ratings. His works may not be as good as Dino's but nobody can refute the fact that he is indeed good at his craft. When you see his work, you could immediately see the passion that he is putting in every project. One more thing that I really like about Kix work is the fact that the pictures posted in his site are all RAW PHOTOS. Minsan kasi di ba, nadadaan na lang sa photoshop ung ganda ng kuha...miski pangit, gumaganda! LOL Every month, I get to visit his site and I can see big improvements on his output. (oh ha, di pa sobra-sobrang high tech gadget nya nyan!) Well, I know that he is giving more effort now that he is doing back-up services to Rene Gaviola. I know that given the more advanced equipment and a better break, he will make it big time to the wedding industry. Here are some of my favorite shots:
 (This is one of my favorite shots. There was no post-processing magic made on this photo. Kix just played on the available sunlight as his lighting technique.)
 (I think this one is from one of his out-of-town shoot (Pangasinan?) with Rene Gaviola. The place where the bride prepared for this special event ain't Diamond nor Manila Hotel but Kix still managed to take a beautiful shot out of it.)
(Now this one is a perfect personification of serenity.)
 (When it's already my turn, I want a shot like this. Posible kaya sa Malate Church?)I am so thankful that we found Kix. Aside from the fact that he is young (with fresh talent) and has a very good working attitude, his package prices are incredibly affordable. If you want to find out about his latest wedding package prices, just drop me an email or a shout out!
P.S. I've been on my PC since 5pm (MNL time). It's now 5:33am...ahhHhhHh!!!! so much with fun blogging!
