Sorry guys the other thread is tooooo long.. I can barely follow. I had to leave the "shooting area" for fear of bumping my broken shoulder against some guys :( ... darn it got hot real quick when the models came out! Hahaha!

Anyway nice to meet you guys...unfortunately I have the memory of a goldfish! I can only remember Raffy C. and Rolando A. Help me out here - who else did I meet?

Some shots....

Hi Don. Sorry about that but it really would've been impossible to stay out of anyone's frame when everyone beside you is clicking. Plus the fact that our table was already smack center, I'm sure my back was a fixture in a lot of shots :Grin:

Kudos to you Mr. Anderson for a very successful Nikon party! It's nice to see fellow nikonians getting together. :) The darkside rules!

@Earl & Ken
Nice meeting you guys. Hope to join you in on of the EBs.

@Brent
Thanks for the item :)

@Pocholo
Nice shots man!

Congratulations Anderson for a great party, to mention the Nikon giveaways as well :) Congratulations to all who won in the raffle!

Nice to meet everyone from DPP (Ian Santos, Raffy Crucillo, the legendary Earl Gonzales :), and the others)

Cheers to the dark side!

kudos mr. anderson for the nikon rebirth! well done event.

nice to meet you guys!!!

hi again to pio, richard g, earl, raffy, richard b, vernes, nap, rolly, tj, pocholo, carlo, pia, others.

hi Anderson... congratz for the well attended party last Sat. you're a hell of a dynamic guy and we look up to you as "The One" who will be guiding us to our photographic nirvana :)

just want to shoot some questions about the photo contest... are we allowed to post process our entries? if yes, are we limited to basic editing or will you allow advanced editing as these terms are understood in dpchallenge.com?

thanks

how do we get a niKon pro card? :)

how do we get a niKon pro card? :)

It's actually called the Nikon "The One" card. If you buy anything from Columbia beginning Nov. 1, you automatically get a card. If not, you have to show proof-of-purchase of something you bought from them (not sure if this has a cut-off date) and pay Php500. The card is valid for 2 yrs. :)

hi sorry for the OT. but would you know the privileges of having this "The One" card from Nikon?

... sorry had to edit my post as my photos won't load...

Better to have Anderson answer this or someone who took a pic during the presentation. :Grin: I only remember there's a discount and that they will continue to add to the privileges.

"The One" Privilege Card

privileges:
a. 5% discount on all repair charges
b. priority list in repairs
c. priority list in available loaner units (for pros only)
d. additional privileges soon

Earl the pearl,

You've had enough time to warm up bro. Show me the pics of that fine lens you've got!:D

PP Bro.! Just a little bit more... I was shooting without a flash remember... All images I have are H-2 :D

Since you're on that topic... I didn't use flash either and set my asa to hi .3 - whatever that is. I haven't even had time to check out the difference bet version 1 and 2 since the upgrade. All I know is that my screen turned to a pleasant blue :)

Another funny thing... shooting at 1/20 - 1/15 with all the bursts of flash around me ... well, that was fun. Gave me some pretty cool effects:

How 'bout Rolando A? Pia? I'm beginning to think everyone's joining the contest :D

Earl, I'd love to see this without noise reduction and in black and white. I happen to like the noise of Nikon's high iso as it is quite close to film grain.

i know! it's such a male dominated hobby/profession:Angry:

Actually, it's also quite good without NR. I just happened to like what I got after messing with it a little in PS to reduce noise... :D hehehehehehe... Bro., thanks for her ID... mmmmmmmm... You're giving me ideas... :)

... So, when do you introduce me to her?!? :)

Sharing one here, D50 with 18-135mm lens, on-board flash, no Post Processing. Shot from my vantage point, er.. more like disadvantage point - because in front of me were a throng of other Sith Lords blasting away with their sabers & flash guns - very dificult to get a clear shot at the model/s.

http://static.flickr.com/112/296199075_4473dbc0a1.jpg

One more... as my friend Carlo Mendoza said a little veer to the left would've been better but if I do that, there's Sith Lord in front of me which will be included in my frame (I zoomed at full 135mm being at the back row). The black line on the stage screen is also a distraction. I reckoned I probably need to buy a PhotoShop software, study it and make some improvements. Yeah maybe next year this photo will improve. hehe.
