Day 24 - Subdivision Sunset
Canon EOS 550D
1/60 sec., f/5.7
ISO 200, 18mm focal length
A sunset picture of the subdivision. Most times, the camera is aimed at the western horizon. This time, I had my back to the sunset.
I don’t go out of the house till late afternoon. The sky’s colors are wonderfully wild and dynamic. If this keeps up, most of my pictures for this product would be shot around sunset or the pictures would be night photography shots.
At the moment, I don’t follow a listing or genre of photography for this project but I hope to go shoot some portraits soon. At some point, I will have to take stock of the pictures and take shots which lack representation.

Day 18 - Old Train Station
Canon EOS 550D
1/160 sec. exposure, f/11 aperture
ISO 200, 18mm focal length
I haven't asked around but it's my guess that this was formerly the Guiguinto Train Station. The old train track is to the right of the structure, and is also where the North Rail (Manila to Clark rapid transit) will pass through. The tracks have been removed and soon the elevated train will start construction here. I'm not sure where the new train station will be situated.
What I really want to do is to shoot this structure with either the morning sun shining from the right, or a light painting. I doubt if I can accomplish the light painting as this is very near the road, with relatively heavy traffic. Even if there was a blackout, the place would still be bright.
For inner Sherlock, those are ipil-ipil trees growing from the cracks between the bricks. Ipil-ipil is a fast growing tree and those trees are maybe a year or two years old.

These goats were foraging along the bank of the road leading to the new NLEX exit going to Guiguinto and Pulilan. The NLEX exit hasn't been opened yet. But once it does get opened to the public, these goats would have to be tethered tight and no longer allowed on the road.

2012 366 Days and 366+ Pictures Project (some thoughts)
So far, I’m moving with this project. I haven’t skipped a day yet. I just hope that I can continue. I don’t think I’ll have a photographer’s block (even if there such a thing). What concerns me is that I might run out of subjects and go the easy route and recycle topics.
I don’t really think I’ll go the other route where I’ll post old photographs. I don’t want to make this into a diary either. I just want a fresh take or a different perspective on the things and subjects which are readily available or accessible.
After 15 days, I know I’m learning a lot. I can keep up the momentum. I’m keeping some subjects for sandbagging purposes. I won’t take them unless circumstances force me. I’ve also decided to keep the moon shots to a minimum. Unless there is a compelling reason, there won’t be any more moon shots. I need to do more sunsets and sunrise. But I really need to get a polarizer for those shots.

This has always been the case, that the local politician has to advertise what he has done for his constituency. Was the advertising necessary? Not for the people. It’s the people’s money, and they should expect it to be put to good use, and not to buy tarp advertising.

It is never a good idea to shoot panoramic pictures of a mall or any high volume traffic area. You’d end up with repeating people or, worse, headless people.

Day 9 (Additional) Night Photography

It rained for practically the whole day. I waited for it to stop, but unfortunately, it was already evening and it was still drizzling.
This was shot in the early evening. No flash, just a flashlight. Seriously, I use flashlights most days. This time, I only had one assist, Darwi, and I was able to use only one flashlight.
Again, because the picture was dark, there’s not much for processing. I cropped it a bit, making the water drop a bit off center.
There are days, that all I want is a prime lens, 50mm, f/1.8 or better.
