Sagot Sa Kagutuman

Posted on October 8, 2009 by greenbucks| 10 Comments

Tamad daw ang karamihan sa mga Pilipino. Maaaring totoo, maaari din namang hindi para sa ilan.

Isa ang labis na kahirapan sa problemang kinakaharap ng bansa. Hindi ko na lang hihimayin ang mga dahilan dahil baka abutin ako ng gabi di pa ako tapos magsulat dito.

Dala ng problemang ito ang isa pang problema: kagutuman.

Pero ang kasabihan natin, kung gusto magagawan ng paraan.

Anu-ano nga ba ang mga paraan na puwede maging sagot upang maibsan ang kagutuman?

Ang pagtatanim sa bakuran.

Walang espasyong lupa? Maging malikhain at gumamit ng ibang paraan kagaya nito:

pechay

Medyo mukhang ginutom din ang aking pechay dito at tila bagang ako naman ang tinamad magdilig 😀

Pero hindi ba mas mainam ang ganito, magtanim sa bakuran dahil isa ito sa sagot sa gutom, huwag lang tatamaring gumawa ng paraan para sa kasagutan nito.

At isa pa, nagamit muli ang dapat ay itinapon nang mga lalagyan ng inumin.

Huwag na pong tanungin bakit marami kaming mga ganyang lalagyan ng inumin, alam nyo na yun, hehehe.

Magandang araw ng Huwebes 🙂

White Balance

Posted on June 7, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

I forgot how I took this photo, I mean, what I did to achieve the effect for white balance.

This chandelier has six yellow bulbs all lighted up but I managed to have a photo like this (scratches head)

Scaly Creature

Posted on April 5, 2009 by greenbucks| 11 Comments

One of the kids I work with got in early last Saturday and since the one who has a schedule before him was a no-show, we had some extra time to spend.

We talked a lot of things about gadgets, and concerns about school: grades, friends, subjects and his thoughts and dreams.

I spent a little time teaching him how to use the macro button on a camera and we came up with this photo of a wee Yellow Tang fish decor:

And that photo above was what we came up with 🙂

We could have spent a lot more time doing this so I asked him to bring their camera next time so we can go over some of the basics in taking good photos (ha! as if I am a good photographer).

After our session, we looked up on some surplus inventory net pages because we discussed about how much a mobile phone he likes is worth now that there is a newer model out in the market.

Kids these days, very tech savvy 🙂

Taking Good Photographs

Posted on February 9, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

There are several things things that make a photo look good.

Does the subject look more interesting in the photo than in real life? Does the photo show creativity? Is the lighting adequate? Does it have good color balance? Is the subject recognizable? Are your hands stable enough or do you need a tripod?

The questions above are just a few of the things that can be asked in being able to say that one has taken good photographs.

As I have heard people say, it is not how advanced nor how expensive the camera is but how a photographer is able to see things through the lens and being able to capture these make one a good photographer.

I still have some trouble taking great food photos but in time, I hope, I would be able to do these with pride 🙂

Photography Field Guide Digital Book

Posted on January 19, 2009 by greenbucks| 17 Comments

For someone like me who enjoys reading fiction, I seldom read books or instruction manuals on gadgets and operation of things with mechanism.

I was quite surprised when I felt myself get a book entitled National Geographic Photography Field Guide Digital by Rob Sheppard. I got this from the bookstore with a photo below before we went to the supermarket after our lunch out yesterday. To think that I never got to read my camera’s manual thoroughly because I asked my hubby to read it and explain to me 😀

The book is not new, in fact it was a few years old already but the way the concepts were presented by different guest writers specializing in different aspects of photography were written well so I figured, “why not?”

I know I still have a lot to learn in digital photography especially about how to use lighting fixtures to take the photo I want depending on where I will use the photos.
