I had a wonderful afternoon today. I was at home from lunch till about 3pm. My kids and I watched TV. I took a short nap with my wife. But a bit after 3pm I left the house and headed for Antipolo Church (about 7 minutes away from my house).

Anton Sheker's Horizon Perfekt is still with me. I had four rolls of Kodak TMY and a Sekonic lightmeter in my pocket. I spent about an hour just walking around the church and the parking. I shot everything I deemed worthwhile to capture within the 120 degree view of the Horizon Perfekt.

http://shop.lomography.com/horizon/perfekt/

I didn't have to worry about focusing since I was shooting with a fixed focus lens. I did have to worry about focusing because the lens would not focus properly on subjects closer than 8 feet.

I might make it a weekly ritual to go to Antipolo Church every Sunday afternoon just to shoot.

The rolls that I used up (three out of four) will be brought to Studio 58 tomorrow for developing and contact printing :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Sir Jo, can't wait to see the pictures

I also can't wait to see the pictures.

I don't have a choice either. I shot everything on film. LOL! :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I know I didn't get mine here. Anton got his unit abroad as well. Jo, what about you, where did you get your unit? I know Lomo's are available locally. But I still have to see a swing lens like the Horizon 202 being sold in Manila.

@ Mike

The shots have been developed and contact printed. Nothing came out from the pinhole camera. So I guess the guard at Powerbooks Greenbelt has the last laugh :D

The rolls I used on the pinhole wasn't a total waste. A few frames were more or less properly exposed. Everything else was wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay underexposed. My estimate for the exposure time was too short. It looks like I have to shoot for longer than 15 seconds (reciprocal failure, here I come :D).

@ Derick

I am using Anton's camera :D Anton ordered his unit through Dek. I might order it also through Dek. I compared the prices that Dek is selling his unit to the quoted price I received while I was in Singapore. The savings amounts to less than P1k.

I might as well have Dek get it for me once I come up with the cash :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Diego - check out lomomanila.ph there are people who sell it there...around 18k i think

WOW!!! How much kya ito? Saan kaya pwede bilhin ito dito sa Manila? Thanks:)

I bought my fisheye thru Dek. He is reliable and fast

@ Miguel

Isn't P18k the price of the Horizon Kompakt? Or are you referring to a second hand Horizon Perfekt? :D

I've also purchased the Horizon book and a hipshot bag from Dek. The service is okay and reliable.

But the hipshot bag that I got is too small for my Fisheye2. I might just use it for something else.

I'll soon be ordering the 'Rumble In The Fishpond' book from Dek.

yes i think the kompact is 18k and the pergect 25k. Whats the diference anyway?

@ Miguel

Helloooo!!!!!! You were the one who told me about the difference! :D I called you up from Singapore while I was in Vivo City. I all set to plunk down my cash (actually, I was going to use my brother-in-law's credit card) for the Horizon Kompakt and you told me to put off the purchase.

The Horizon Kompakt only has one aperture setting and two choices of shutter speeds.

The Horizon Perfekt has an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/16 (whole stop increments) and a shutter speed range of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250 and 1/500.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

@ Jo - yeah now I remember...sorry still have a bad case of jet lag :)

The Perfekt is definitely a better choice :)

When your unit gets in, let's do an EB/Shoot for Panoramic films. I'm also still waiting for my films to get in. Hopefully next week. But if its a short one, i still have some stash!:D:D

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/69803013/large.jpg

@Derick - what other kind of films are you waiting for?

Wow! Tri-X! Miguel, let me have some Fomapan!!!!!!!!

Tri-X and Negrapan was my film of choice when I first took up photography.

I used a lot of T400CN for weddings. But Bengy Toda once told me that it would print better if I rated it at EI 200. He was right. :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

My 135 fomapan is still coming since I couldnt bring all the film with me in my hand carry :) Should be here in the next 2 weeks

But I have Fomapan 120 if you want?

@Derick - what other kind of films are you waiting for?

Following are expected in:

Ilford PanF for B&W prints
Fuji Velvia for color Transparencies
Fuji Reala for color prints
Fuji Provia for color transparencies


I keep a stash away for my Horizon 202 and the Hessleblad Xpan2. Hard to find here, mahal pa, by order pa. :Grin:

I'm also interested in a swing lens camera but I was wanting one that took 120 film, however these cameras still go for big bucks so I may just go for a Perfect.

Post you images when you get them back.

Mike

Well, that table didn't post very well.

How do you post a table on this forum?

Mike

@ Mike

I will be doing some tests to determine the approximate f/stop of my pinhole. I should be able to come up with my own table soon :D

There is a 120 swing that is being sold. I think the company that produces the Horizon also makes it.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I just use a Holga...for the past 2-3 months...really enjoying film again

120?? for you??? Since when?:Scared:

It is manufactured by KMZ – Krasnogorsky Mekhanichesky Zavod (Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant) – in Krasnogorsk. KMZ is also known for the Zenit and Zorki cameras and is the largest producer of photographic equipment in Russia and the former Soviet countries.

Does anybody here have this camera??

Does anybody here have this camera??

What Camera?:Sick:

the medium format panoramic

You can try the Noblex - http://www.kamera-werk-dresden.de/ this is the first on I found in Norway, and man, sobrang mahal. Its a wel designed camera, and film formats come in various sizes. The one I tested was 135 and 120 fillm formats.

If only for the price, I'd get my self instead a Hasselblad 30mm lens. Hasselblad recently announced an additional lens to compliment the standard duo (45mm & 90mm), a super-wide 30mm f5.6 aspherical (a technical word that translates into excellent optics and BIG bucks!). I haven’t seen one of these in person, but since it carries a price tag of nearly $3000 (U.S.), I can’t imagine that too many people will be queuing up to order one. The Noblex price tag was not far from that.

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/76255140/original.jpg

I oonly have the 45mm. My dream is the 30mm. :)

Wow Miguel, the film bug bit you !!! hard!! Good for you! one cant go through life without experiencing film...the joy of it and the frustration too!!:D

Yup..you bet. I actually started out with film some 20 yrs ago (used to process/print my own stuff in Spain long time ago) so I just need to do some refreshers...

JUst got back from Spain and hardly used my digital camera...and spent tons of euros on film...haayyy

Wow Miguel, the film bug bit you !!! hard!! Good for you! one cant go through life without experiencing film...the joy of it and the frustration too!!:D

Welcome to the club Miguel!

Straight Jackets are optional. I've a freezer full of film, close to 500 rolls or 120's and 135's, most of it fresh as well but I do buy any expired film that comes up for sale. YKL are selling of tons of expired film just now for silly prices.

Mike

Thats the ones I've seen, even a well used battered example on E-Bay goes for over $1000!

I've considered the X-Pan, can't get much better than a Hassie after all! but as you point out the accessory's are a little expensive! I also have a thing for a Fuji 6x19, I've seen a few on E-Bay go for a couple of thou.... US! but a camera shop in Perth (Aussie) has one in with all the lenses for a cool A$14,000! ouch! a little rich for my blood.

Mike

@ Miguel

checked out your flickr site. Love the organic feel of the black and white images..especially the horse and Parc Guell...

Did you actually eat in El Bulli??? That restaurant is one of the Best and most popular restaurants in the world! It literally takes months to make a reservation in advance. So was the food really to die for?????:Grin:

@ Pilar - those pics were taken some 20 years ago with my Nikon FM2 and ilford film which I proicessed and printed. I just re-scanned them again recently.

Yes I ate in El Bulli. My whole experience in El Bulli is explained in my blog. It explains how it took me 3 years to make a reservation in that restaurant. :) The food is not traditional food but very interseting as you can see in the pictures :).

In my blog I explain in detail how the 38 dishes were served. :)

Widelux Panaoramic Model F-8 USD 1,700.00 - Literally to die for!:)

The first Widelux camera appeared in 1948 – almost 50 years ago. With a half century experience, Widelux offers the best panoramic cameras in the world. With an F2.8 lens, the Widelux cameras are faster than any other panoramic camera at any price. The Widelux camera body is made of a light weight metal construction, and the Widelux size is the same as a standard 35mm camera. The 35mm Widelux F8 weighs only 30 ounces, and the 2¼ size Widelux Model 1500 weighs in at a mere 62 ounces. The 35mm Widelux F8 offers a 140° view while the Widelux Model 1500 has an outstanding 150° angle. With all Widelux cameras, you get a full view in the viewfinder and you see exactly what the Widelux camera gets, whereas on many other panoramic cameras you get only a partial view in the viewfinder. No focusing is needed with the high resolution F2.8 fixed focus lens on these Widelux cameras.

My brother-in-law has this. I'm being extra nice to him. he's 83 years old :Grin:

Noblex 150UX

The "Rotating" lens panoramic camera system, offering man's natural visual perspective; utilising a precise electronic drive system the Noblex camera gives superb picture quality. Unlike other rotating panoramic cameras the Noblex offers straight forward multi-exposure for brilliant interior shots requiring long exposures. Based on a rigid die cast alloy housing they are tough and strong.

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/81159931/original.jpg
Noblex 135UC

The rotating lens design of Noblex cameras gives a unique look to your pictures and while they can take a bit of getting used to once tamed they can be used to give your subject matter a new look. One of the beauties of the Noblex camera is that it can be so easily used for a wide variety of subjects …architecture, portraits, even sport and still life and of course landscapes. If you need some inspiration or an example of what you can do with a swing lends camera you could do a lot worse than get hold of a copy of Jeff Bridges' book 'Pictures'. OK, so you probably won't get to take behind the scenes shots of Michelle Pfeiffer putting her lipstick on but it provides great inspiration to try one these swing lens cameras and shows that there is more to panoramic photography than landscapes.

Life is too short. I am looking for one. A complete set will hit you roughly Pesos 150k. Miguel, Mike, Jo and Anton my friend if you are reading, this is the camera for me.:Angry::Angry:

@Derick - buy it na...so we can drool over it :)

@ Derick

The title of this thread is 'Left to Right'.

I am repeatedly moving my head back and forth from left to right each time I read one of your pricey gear suggestions. :D

Miguel, Mike, Jo, - The only limit is your imagination my friends...........and money pala.:D:D

@ Derick

It's the money and practicality that is stopping me.

I enjoy using the Horizon Perfekt because it is relatively unobtrusive - especially when compared to the Seitz!

I can't imagine doing candid and spontaneous panoramic shots with the Seitz :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

The 360 degree one..is that the one you mentioned that Bengy toda had??

Miguel, Mike, Jo, - The only limit is your imagination my friends...........and money pala.:D:D

Yup. Bengy has a Roundshot.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

With the Roudshot, its left to left!! ha ha ha ha!!

True, I've seen and held all these in Norway, and I tell you, i'll stick to what I have. Now, if the opportunity to afford one come along, believe me, I will!!! :)

Yup. Bengy has a Roundshot.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Yes, that's the one he was offering to me. But it was a nikon mount. And man, roughly USD 2000 for the unit he has.

@Jo - when are we going to see your shots with the horizon perfekt?

@ Miguel

As soon as I find the time to get my latest batch or rolls processed and everything else prior to it scanned :D

You can look at the contact prints of everything that I have shot so far :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I had a wonderful afternoon today. I was at home from lunch till about 3pm. My kids and I watched TV. I took a short nap with my wife. But a bit after 3pm I left the house and headed for Antipolo Church (about 7 minutes away from my house).

Anton Sheker's Horizon Perfekt is still with me. I had four rolls of Kodak TMY and a Sekonic lightmeter in my pocket. I spent about an hour just walking around the church and the parking. I shot everything I deemed worthwhile to capture within the 120 degree view of the Horizon Perfekt.

http://shop.lomography.com/horizon/perfekt/

I didn't have to worry about focusing since I was shooting with a fixed focus lens. I did have to worry about focusing because the lens would not focus properly on subjects closer than 8 feet.

I might make it a weekly ritual to go to Antipolo Church every Sunday afternoon just to shoot.

The rolls that I used up (three out of four) will be brought to Studio 58 tomorrow for developing and contact printing :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila


Sir Jo, did you already get one for yourself? Nice captures! :D

For Mike!

Man that looks like sex!

@ Derick - mighty fine cameras there Bro. in your post. :)

@ Ryan

Nope. Not yet. I'm still saving up for it. Although, I don't think my wife would be against the idea of my getting a Horizon Perfekt for myself.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Yup. Bengy has a Roundshot.
Cheers!
Jo Avila

This is what Bengy has.

@ Derick

I'll just stick with the Horizon - so quit tempting me already. I still want to send my three kids through college and not have to triple mortgage my house! :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

@ Derick

What's the minimum focusing distance with your Horizon?

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Really captures excellent details -

@ Derick

What's the minimum focusing distance with your Horizon?

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Brochure said, 4-6 feet, walang focus ring yan! But if you noticed its not bad given I think I was closer. Scanned na yan sir kaya mukhang sharp. It could have been better. I was just new at it then.

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/30622775/large.jpg

Look at the details! Awesome!

@ Derick

Hmmmm... I'll have to do a test with the Horizon Perfekt tha I am using (borrowing :D). The minimum focusing distance seems to be a wee bit further than 4-6 feet.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Jo, I'll never jump into the others i posted here. It's like going to the Moon. I'll never get there. But it's nice to know it exists! :) Did you see the price tags. Oh man! Even Bengy will never jump into that. He'd rather shoot film, scan, and stitch! cheaper.

@ Derick

If you won't make the jump what makes you think Mike, Miguel and I will? :D

I have a funny Left to Right story to post. Let me just get the film developed and scanned and I will post the photo and the accompanying story.

I'm headed for Studio 58 and DPI tomorrow (after I bring my kids to school, bring my wife to work, sweat it out at the gym, fetch my wife for lunch). I am hopeful that I can finish everything that I want to do within the afternoon.

Cheers!

Profeysyonal sir kayo!:D:D:D Mike when he's drunk, he just might do it!! And as for Miguel, he might hit the Lotto!:)

HA ha...I'd be really happy with a Horizon Perfekt :)

@ Derick

I still couldn't justify it to my wife even if I were drunk and I hit the Lotto :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Sigh... just finished looking at the scans of some of my frames. I was too darn close while I was shooting with the Horizon. What I have are out of focus shots of my family in the foreground against a sharp background.

I just hope my b&w set of Antipolo Church comes out better.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

@ Jo

That camera I mentioned was the Fuji. You were right about it being a fixed lens. :)

My stash is on its way to Manila!!! :) Yahooo!

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/81305958/original.jpg

Mine too...cant wait for it to get here.

Wow! Nice package arriving home Derick!

Marton - Who is envious and wants some for himself

@ Alan

You don't have to tell me that I was right. I knew I was right :D LOL! The tell-tale detail was your description of the camera.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

@ Jo

That camera I mentioned was the Fuji. You were right about it being a fixed lens. :)

Profeysyonal sir kayo!:D:D:D Mike when he's drunk, he just might do it!! And as for Miguel, he might hit the Lotto!:)

When I was drunk I bought a Zeiss Super Ikonta IV, yet another old folder!! I love these old manual cameras!

Got to keep off the drink or buy a bigger dry box!

Mike

I think a bigger dry box will be easier!

@MIKE! That must have been one hell of a drinking session! 4 pages and 5 days ago was the last time I heard from you. It was starting to get boring around here without you buddy!

@JO, partner, what's taking your post so long. Even if you do not like them, post it, and teach us. Give us your run down on lessons learned. That way we all benefit. Analyze each picture sir! :) :)

I'm living low after that session, I was really worried incase I had said something out of place on here!

Mike

Just put me up on your will! I promise to take care of all your cameras!:D Not to worry, nothing indecent Bud.:)

@ Derick

I still have a few more rolls to send out for scanning. I'll post everything in one batch.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

P.S.

I'll be at Mall of Asia tomorrow with the Horizon a few rolls of TMY. My children are attending a birthday party. I figured that I would try to get more practice using the camera.

Jo, I hope the MOA outing today was ok........still waiting buddy!:)

Jo, Mike, Miguel -

Here's another set from the Oslo Norway series also from the Horizon202

Norway Fjord Cruise
http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/81461423/large.jpg

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/81461454/large.jpg

It wasn't okay. I didn't get to go around the mall. I spent almost our whole stay at Burgoo for a children's party.

I still took images though. I mostly shot handheld at 1/8th of a second.

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Anton's Horizon Perfekt
Kodak Trix ISO 400

Hi Jill! U back in Manila? We exchanged mails at PiPHo or was that at PhPhoto forum some time ago. Good to see you're here!:)

I wonder if Anton will ever get to post Horizon shots? Jill used Anton's Horizon for the shots she posted. That Horizon unit is now with me :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

Mike /Jo, Is it only Bengy Toda who can process the Kodak Tri-x 400? Sent one to digiprint, and now Miguel's doing me a favor by taking it to Bengy since they do not do this at Digiprint. I need processing, and scan to CD.:Scared::Scared:

@ DhonJason, salamat!
@ Hi Derick, yup we were exchanging sms last year regarding minis. :)
@ Jo, funny you mentioned that, Anton was looking for it, I think. :)

Jo/ Miguel - for your consideration......:Grin::Grin::Grin:

NOW AVAILABLE! The NEW Horizon 202S with an added shutter speed of 1/500th second... It's the newest innovation in 35mm panoramic photography. And if that pesky whirring sound of the lens rotating across the film plane kept you from owning one of these photographic phenoms, throw away those ear plugs 'cause the new Horizon 202S is no longer noisy! That's right: the shrill is gone! Quiet AND 1/500th sec.

USD 525.00

My unit it only 1/250th.....

@Derick - Can you post a pic or link of it?

@ Derick

I bring my b&w films to Bengy for processing and contact printing. I don't know of anyone who still does it WITH quality and care :D

The Horizon Perfekt is supposed to be quiter than the Horizon 202 and it already has a top shutter speed of 1/500th of a second :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I did a bit of online research and confirmed my suspicions. I've been using the Horizon with the aperture usually set to no bigger than f/5.6 (due to the recent dreary weather). That's why my subjects in the foreground have been OOF :D

Quality, service....... Plus Bengy love old camera's! he;s just as daft as me! :D:D


Mike

My stuff is treated bad sometimes at Studio58... last 2 rolls were covered with dust and some had scratches on them. Very very sloppy. They tend to treat "bulk orders" or "established" photographers better than "students" :)

While its no excuse, was it Bengy you dealt with, or a reception? You should let Bengy know.:)

Really? Crap man! That hasn't happened to my negs, but some metallic prints of mine did have some scratches :Dum:

Mr. JoA,

Where's the left to right postings?

//Derick:Grin::Grin::Grin:

I forgot to bring them to be scanned the last time I saw Miguel.

Besides, I no longer have the Horizon Perfekt with me. :(

@ Jo - just send them to me...Ill scan them.

ok so while waiting for Jo's pix, here's something from a hobbyist

First Roll (http://jasonmagbanua.multiply.com/photos/album/20/Horizon_Perfeckt_-_First_Roll)

Kodak TriX-400

My stash is on its way to Manila!!! :) Yahooo!

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/81305958/original.jpg

Is it really hard to get Film in Manila this days specially Slides and B&W films?

@Jason - Love the wedding pano's! Did you use a flash for the solo portraits?

@Mon - Yes, if at all you find, either you get to pay a lot, you'll only get a handful, or the specs are totally off. So when I get the opportunity, I get several BW, Chrome and color prints. Just for those special days when you want to go film. :)

@ Jo - my stash of film arrived na :)

Is it really hard to get Film in Manila this days specially Slides and B&W films?

Film is actually easy to get in Manila. You just have to know where to get it!

I have 539 rolls of film in the fridge or freezer. Most of that was bought here. Contact YKL directly, they will get anything you want on an order basis. I just got 50 Neopan 135's and 50 Superia 120's last week. Also try Studio 58 for Kodak films.

Better to keep films in freezer and fridge? HUH? I keep mine in the dry box. OR is that whay you call your fridge/freezer?:Thinking::Thinking::Thinking:

I always keep my film in the fridge (actually its my wine cave - converted into a film depot) he he

Film in the freezer will keep for ever....................

easily 20 years.

In the fridge it will also keep a long time and can be used in 30 minutes or so straight from the fridge. The frozen film I take out the night before I want to use it.


Mike

@Jason - Love the wedding pano's! Did you use a flash for the solo portraits?


For the portraits, we actually used a lowell portable video light. Thanks!

dang, 539 rolls of film? i thought i was crazy for scouring the labs here for hard to find film and stocking them in my ref.

These photos were taken during a weekend golf with buddies, Med & Johnny at the Tagaytay Highlands. The golf was the usual banter coupled with good solid slices or duck hooks. What made it special was, I took my Horizon 202 Panoramic Mechanical Camera along with me. These Photos were taken with a Kodak professional film T400 CN, Process c-41. Scanned, and tweaked in PS, for minor tonal balance. No sharpenning at all. Film is really awesome, and I've been shooting it lately. NOTE: Thanks to Miguel Vecin of Digiprint for the Scanning, and to Bengy Toda for the film processing.

@ Derick

Looks like we both took the same route. I had my rolls of film developed at Studio 58 and sent them to Miguel for scanning.

I already printed some of my shots from the Horizon. I was all set to post them in this thread but I realized that the scanned files were all on my other laptop. AAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!

I'll transfer the files to this laptop and try to post some of them tomorrow.

Cheers!

I just read through all of the posts of this thread from the very start.

I started laughing at some of the banter that were exchanged in the past.

It took me a long time to get my own left to right camera - but I still got one in the end :D

@ Otep

I will definitely be in Makati on Friday to pick up my new toy :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I Want One!

*after which the transaction is made, you will then be coincidentally mugged by various people who claim they aren't from DPP/Lomomanila/any lomo/photo organization for that matter (your muay thai skills will come in handy ...)hehehhe:Grin::Scared:

Let's get three Horizon's together shooting outwards. It should then be easy to stitch all our images together as if we shot a 360 degree view with a roundshot :D

Cheers!

Jo Avila

I'd like to indulge into your love angle, but for the love of photography, what the @#%%$#% to you mean?:D

Like what i said to OtepB, (the newest PIMP for the Horizon), organize a "Family Reunion", and that would be the best time show "some lovin":)

Just say when.

In the mean time, here's more of the "king of the hill" when it comes to Panoramic film cameras. Weep and get WET!:D:D:D

And who says the D3 of Nikon was the first "D3-named " Digital Camera. Below is the first Digital 360 degree digital camera. The Seitz ROUNDSHOT D3. Estimate Php 1.7M

Otep, if we had this, there would be no need to volt-in our Horizon, OR even scan the images!:Grin::Grin:

For simple planning, and no issues of permits, Otep, think of a place that we can shoot, not too far, has character, and where we can freely experiment with out toys!

Why don't we do bridges?

Derick, You don't know Patrick, He is BIG TIME personified. He is about to be a proud owner of a Leica M8.

Erratum:

Headline: Photographers/Lomographers Mugged, Cameras Stolen

An incident happened in a photography EB where a couple of photographers got mugged and their swivel lens cameras were stolen. A victim said
"a girl approached me and asked "DEPEPE???".. Then she just hit me with her Canon AV1 on the head.. when i woke up my horizon was gone". Another
victim Jo Avila said "I saw one of my KAPEPE getting beaten down by this petite lady but before i could do anything she hurled her metal camera
to my head and knocked me down... after that i couldn't find my swivel baby.

We found out that the suspect was a petite chinese girl who was wearing glasses and had lots of cameras and films with her. If you got information
about the suspect contact Otep Benavides or Daniel Go...


:D:D:D:D

@daniel, you're required to attend the left to right eb or else we will confiscate your toy hahaha so go do make the necessary "permits" for you to go out :D

Otep, Will sure try my darnest! Let's hope I can get the necessary permits from the 2 fronts. Home and office front hahaha :)

Donna, You and Otep share the same office ba? hehehe

Very nice LEE. NOW in english please before WCEO Pilar Tuason cites you for a forum violation!!! At the moment we'll let it slide if you can please translate what you said.......:Grin::Grin::Grin::Grin::Grin:


nakow!!! Donna in a swivel lens EB... I can see it already....:Shock:

Headline.... MGA PHOTOGRAPHER BUGBOG SARADO, NAWALAN NG CAMERA

Sabi ng isa sa mga biktima na itago natin sa pangalang "Derick".... "May lumapit sakin na babae, nag tanong... DEPEPE ???... bago pa ako naka sagot bigla nya kong pinalo ng daladala nyang canon AV1... pag gising ko wla na yung horizon ko..." Nakausap din namin ang isa pang biktima na nagpakilalang si Jo Avila... "Nakita ko yung isang KAPEPE ko na binubugbog nung isang babae... kaya lang bago ako nkagalaw naihagis na pala nya yung bakal nyang slr na camera... pagkagising ko wala na rin yung horizon ko..."

Napagalaman namin na ang hinihinaling suspect ay isang petite na babaeng chinitang na naka salamin. Lagi syang maraming dalang camera at film. Pag inyong nakita wag lapitan dahil siya'y nangangagat...

Kung meron kayong nalalaman tungkol sa babaeng ito ipagalam kay Otep Benavides o kay Daniel Go, para madisiplina...

:D:D:D:D

long haired... yep... well-behaved??? hmmmm I dunno...:D

Here is an approximate translation of what Lee posted. ( sorry Lee I didn't know yo did your own translation already, anyway I took the liberty of translating it almost word for word hahaha)

Headline …. Photographers Badly Beaten Up, Cameras Stolen.

According to one of the victims whom we shall hide under the name Derick… “ A lady approached me and asked DEPEPE?? Before I could answer her, she hit me in the head with her Canon AV-1 camera…. when I came to, my Horizon was already missing.” We also interviewed another victim who introduced himself as Jo Avila. He said “ I saw my fellow DePePe member beaten up by a lady. Before I could react, she had already also hurled her metal clad slr camera at me…… when I regained consciousness, my Horizon was also missing.”

We found out that the suspect is a petite Oriental looking, bespectacled lady. She is often seen around carrying many cameras and films. If any of you happen to chance upon her, DO NOT approach her as she is known to bite.

Should you or anyone have any information about the suspect please relay them to Otep Benavidez or Daniel Go for appropriate disciplinary actions….

Daniel, Lee, thank you for the translation. At least no one can accuse "us" with any forum rules violation. You did not violate, i did not condone the act!!!:Grin::Grin::Grin:

For that, here's a shot of the palace court yard in Copenhagen, Denmark. Scanned in a Nikon Coolscan, and levels adjustment in PS. The the details of the Palace facade, remarkable.

Otep, I need to find out if the new shutter speed will make any remarkable difference on the image. What other features have been added to the new unit?

http://www.pbase.com/manilaman04/image/30625343/large.jpg

Derick, :D Man! you make me want to weep when I see your images :)

daniel, you want a medium format camera? hahaha

patrick, the only big around here is koya derick's voice and jo's tummy (which is by the way getting smaller by virtue of being constantly kneed in the abdomen hahaha)

koya derick, hahaha i'll think of something. last resort would be at the rooftop at the place where i'm staying :) 30th floor goodness hahaha you forgot to choose, soft or moderate? :D

jo, what time are you crashing by? :D

p.s. patrick, if you choose to die peacefully, please state in your will that you're leaving the m8 with me hahaha :D
