Hey peeps! Despite the lack of sleep, I really had a great time during our first ever photo trip. I'm sure our next activity would even be more organized. Thanks to everyone who joined, especially to Randy for spearheading the event, Johndee for the awesome ID, Malen and his Mom for the Pakil permit, bottled water, and NATA DE COCO (SARAP!), Tok & Keith for the rides, Godo and the Axis people, and MANONG BUS DRIVER... you the man! WOOHOO!

Donna, we missed you! Sana humabol ka ng flight, hehehe.

Now, let me start with the last photo of the tour...

Thanks to everyone on the Church tour! This was my first ever photoshoot and I had a great time.

Here are some snaps from St. John The Baptist Parish in Liliw, Laguna. Just playing around with the ZD 8mm Fish Eye I borrowed from the Axis Global Staff. My first time to use such a lens. Camera: E-510

Here is my version Malen. Fish be with you :)

Malen! Ganda ng photo #2! Kaso, di mo na yan pwedeng isali sa contest dahil identified na sa'yo yan! Oops! Pwede rin pala na kay Keith yan, same shot yata ah! Hahaha!!! Bigla ka rin nawala nung nag-stop sa Calamba, akala namin eh taga-Parañaque ka? Hijo, saan ka pumaroon, ha? Hehehe.

Johndee, your photo #2 is very nice as well! Buti nakuha mo and exposure nung wall ng window.

Keith, gaya-gaya puto maya! Hahaha! Just kidding bro!

Philip, yeah, maski overcast ang sky at medyo umulan nung tour natin, it all ended well. :D

No time to edit photos yet, lalo na at ORF, tagal mag-edit, kakatamad! Bale, iisa-isahin ko yan. To the rest, post your shots na... except your possible entries ha, those three shots for submission should be anynonymous. Oks manoks! :D

I will upload soon. (2 days) i'm so busy. hahaha! :D

Thanks Chris. It's in RAW, i just adjusted levels, shadows/highlights and curves.

It's true, almost all my shots are in RAW, ORF are time consuming but results are satisfying. It took me about 3hours to edit 12 images.:Shock: Converting 200 RAW images to jpeg took me anout 30min:Angry:. But I guess Im no Photoshop expert yet.

Guys, post your shots. Cool!

hi guys, ang saya nung tour, kailan susunod?

eto ung few shots ko, pagpasensyahan nyo nalang at noob pa ko e,, hehe

Ang bilis mko naman mag-edit ng RAW... Last night, I was only able to edit 4 files in 3 hours! ARGH!!! You meant batch convert ORF to JPEGs? Parang mahirap ang ganon dahil iba-iba ang white balance settings, as well, as exposure settings. :D Don't worry about not being a photoshop expert yet, we don't need to be an expert to process already beautiful shots, right? Hehehe.

Junjie, I like these last two shots. The two local folks just doing their "techie" (texting) thing depicts typical rural life. On the last shot, it was good that you were able to capture some clouds... I didn't notice any that day, maybe I need glasses na, hehehe.

The only thing I noticed is that the shots are a little too pale for my taste. Unless that was your intention. :D

Show them the Oly stuff! =D

Ganda naman ng processing nito! Pero hmmm... parang familiar ang dating, kulang lang ng model na may trapal sa ulo, hahaha! J/K Tokie! Honestly, I like it very much!

Sigurado ako may nakahanda ka na para sa contest... o sya, sa 'yo na ang digicam! Oks na ako sa mp3 player (kapal) HAHAHA!

SAYANG!!!! (Trans: Cry, Cry the Butterfly..)

Huhuhu.. I wasn't able to attend the EB because I was sick. Thought I would be ok by Saturday but it turns out that I'm not. Oh well, I'll just drool over all your shots. Please please post and share.

I was kind of excited pa naman to meet other Oly users. Hope there will be another EB coming soon..

More power to OLY Club!

Chris, JohnDee, Keith - I was just having fun with the 8mm fisheye, didnt know that shot of the interior of Liliw Church was contest material:) Sorry Keith... were you going to enter it in the contest? I know you took that shot first because I used the lens after you.

Anyway, here are some "non-church" shots just for fun and also to keep the thread fresh.

Will post some pictures after resizing. Nice shots guys!

If these photos are indications of the forthcoming contest, It's one hell of a fight!

Takot na ako!

Ed, I was hoping you've posted na...hintayin ko yan.

Sayang Joanne! Oks lang, di ka nag-iisa sa pagkakasakit. Hindi rin nakasama si Charlie Aquino dahil sa lagnat, hehehe. Di bale, I'm sure makakaisip ulit si Randy ng bagong photo trip. Sana punta tayo sa may free bottled water & nata de coco ulit, hahaha! :D

FYI.. I only converted it from ORF, adjusted levels and sharpness, ha?! No trapal needed! =D Bwahahahaha!

Oly kasi eh! Mwehehehehehe! =D

Don't worry, you didn't miss much... it's true what they say, it really does taste and feel like chicken! =D

Ganon? Baka akalain ng officemates mo na may tama ang mga Oly users! Better look around first before you laugh, Bwahaha!

Did you notice the food prices in that exotic place? EXPENSIVE! And for that kind of pricing, I'm sure it wasn't chicken that they served, front lang nila yun! Hehehe.

the really exotic stuffs are the ones that are disguised as regular food!

ano nga yung inorder mo? =b hehehehehe! =D

Looks like you all enjoyed the trip. Sorry, wasn't able to go because of a scheduling conflict. I hope to go with you next time.

Cheers,
Norman

bravo olyclub! Sana maka sama ako next time

Just resumed looking at the Laguna shots and processed a few after posting the group shot. The 3 photos are processed via Adobe Camera Raw then cropped. Sorry for the BIG watermark. There are quite a number of horror stories with regards to photo theft, either being used for contests or being used for advertising without consent. . I'm not saying that my photos are worth their time & effort, but we could never really tell. Though watermarking won't really hinder these bandits, at least it would make their work (cloning) a little difficult. :)

Rosaries... obviously! (intentionally shot tilted) :D

Great job bringing the details out of the sky!! =D Never knew there was still a piece of blue peeking through the clouds.. I really like the warm tone of the church walls.. feels like it's still wet from the rain.. makes the scene look more alive so to speak

But wait?!! Where is the trapal!?! My Gosh!! How can you forget that?! Hahahaha! =D

KAINIS KA!!! Ang tagal kong hinantay na tingnan 'tong thread at ang tagal ko rin hinintay ang tanong na yan!!! HAHAHA! Wala rin akong makitang subject na may trapal, kaya parehas na tayo! Hahaha!!! Anyways, all done in ACR (except the burning) kaya ibig sabihin eh walang daya.


Parang mas ok sa E510 ang non-human subjects, para kasing hindi umeeksakto ang tone niya compared to the E300/E500. Paki-test nga. :D

Yan, hindi kami istorbo! Hahaha!

Yeah, mga Axis guys lang ang naka-Oly shirt. I'll be uploading the candids on Multiply so you'll see that non-Axis participants were just in casuals, hehehe.

Sana pala sumagot ka pa rin sa PM ni Tok... para nakasama kami sa Church Tour mo, hahaha!
