I was inspired by what I’ve learned online on the internet about natural light photography. And that’s what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve been trying to learn more about it. Making use of natural light somehow appeals to me for its artistic value—aside from the fact that I don’t have the funds as yet to buy expensive gadgets for flash photography haha!

Of course, I am also interested in how to use flash in photography but it will have to wait until I have sufficient funds to buy a really good flash for my camera. In the meantime, my camera’s built-in flash has given me satisfactory shots and it will do for now. Here are two more shots of a little kid below using natural light.

I hope to learn more about natural light photography.

Everlasting Flowers in Baguio

Back in September 2012, my family and I were at the Mines View Park in Baguio City after the passing of many years and I was surprised that the place now looked different with all the many small shops all over the place. It was kind of disappointing somewhat. Parking space was somewhat of a challenge too.

Anyway, I still enjoyed taking photos using my Nikon Coolpix S640 point-and-shoot camera. In this photo, I took a shot of a bunch of everlasting flowers sold in one of the stalls. It was interesting to me because there was in insect—a moth or something—and its colors blended well with the flowers. Really nice.

Yesterday, I once again used my old 50mm Nikon lens attached to a Lumix GF1 camera body. I continue to be amazed at how good this old lens can capture photos but once again, I found it difficult to focus manually by just looking at the LCD screen at the back of a modern digital camera. My camera doesn’t have a lens viewfinder. And the old lens doesn’t have an electronic connection to the digital camera body. Oh well… I still am pleased with the result of the photo I took of the sunset yesterday. It really is a challenge to use manual settings. But it was fun.
