wuhoo! I get to finish first! LOL!

Just to follow up on sunday's shot, here's a guava shot :D (not official)

We have a guava tree at the backyard and this was served to my son for breakfast - he didn't eat it today :D

Managed to sit at the back of the bus with a clean window today.
Official Shot

'Almost!'

Still needs lot of practice :D Bus was doing 90kph at the skyway.

There's a Pepsi plant near our village
'Bottles!'

And part of the ongoing South Luzon EXpressway (SLEX) rehabilatation
'Man and Machine'


A church under construction
'Busy Church'

One funny thing about riding the bus in the Philippines with a camera is that you will really not be able to look at the viewfinder as you bounce with the bus - LOL! So "stealth shooting" is the best way to do it.

I just wish I had more time in using my ST35 on sunny days but it's rainy season already (more clouds but no rain). [Drat, its El Nino that we're experiencing over here].

Well, I really had fun and learned a lot. So I'm looking forward to the next challenge. Thanks all for watching and bearing with my 'snapshots'.

Got to think of another theme starting next month.

...it's almost midnight over here :P

Official shot that I took tonight on a cloudy full moon-lit night

On the way home along the road construction, there this series of yellow light that guides motorist. Shot from the shaky bus :P
'Guiding Light'


'Emergency?'


Tried a '+2 filter' on the laptop screen :D

And that brings me to a day before this challenge goes to an end.

This has to be my official shot for today. Before I entered the car, I just had to take this one. The sun was a bonus I think when I reviewed it on the computer:

'Up Above'

and this set I took while driving "slowly" thru a road construction on my way home, stealth shooting mode:
'With Care'

'60'

'Look Out'

'Unpassable'

'Deconstruction'

July 27, 2007

Was shooting from the bus again but most of them are wasted this time around because of the yellow curtain and dirty glass window :(
Anyway, managed to salvage some

'Too Close' - official shot


caught in a heavy traffic this morning and the buses are fighting their way :D this shot of another guy on the other bus :P

Snapped this one on my way to the training venue

'Caught in traffic'

July 25, 2007

I'm on DB2 training today and there wasn't particularly interesting to shoot at the training venue. Maybe I can spot something tomorrow.

Official shot

'Litson'

you'll get the meaning from the 'ad' :P shot from the bus thru the window glass, lower left 'lighting' is caused by sunlight reflection from the side of the bus

Leftovers
...and variations of the cool cloud formation during sunrise this morning (shot from our house)

The Simpsons Movie will start showing on the 27th. Yahoo!!! :))
I learned from my officemate about a 'lifesize' display at the moviehouse and so here they are:

The Simpsons!

Since I only have the 35mm with me, I took a couple of shots and stitched them, here's the outcome and what was infront of me:
'Watching TV'

I was standing ~3 feet from the display :))
