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.

Warm Pool Waters

Posted on January 12, 2009 by greenbucks| 18 Comments

We were invited to go to a swimming picnic yesterday.

We dd not accept readily because my two younger kids had fever last week and they weren’t too keen to go.

Anyway, we still went since the people who invited us are close friends who are like family to us.

I chanced upon Tony (an in-law of this family who invited us and who we just met yesterday) was doing a sketch in a sketch pad he gave to the birthday girl who was the reason for the party.

He drew this:

Not as fancy like las vegas hotels but for a short weekend getaway with warm pool waters and a view of a mountain with cool breeze, this is one we would not forego.

How was your weekend?

Hanging Bridge

Posted on January 5, 2009 by greenbucks| 15 Comments

One of the things we enjoy doing when we go to that place to savor cool mountain air (my other WS entry) is to walk on the hanging bridge.

I was not able to walk on this bridge this time because the drizzles made the wood slippery. I don’t know why my running shoes felt that way.

Hanging Bridge which I also featured with a photo taken from a different perspective in this post.

A New Bike!

Posted on December 29, 2008 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

The kids got their Christmas gift a week earlier before Christmas: a new bike (which they had to share since we still have a bigger and rarely used bike which belongs to my eldest daughter).

Biking in the house ain’t fun so we bring this bike if we go to my hubby’s family home where  the streets are much safer to navigate than those in front of our house.

Here is my son, guiding his bike as he gets ready to tackle the wide roads of our favorite weekend place, that place where we go walking in the woods on Sunday mornings, and/or have picnic,  and/or go to hear mass.

Just the perfect place to learn to ride a bike, which is like a bikers’ “heaven” during Sundays.

Sunny And Hot

It was a hot and sunny Sunday. We went to mass earlier so that we can go back home and rest earlier too.

Below is a photo of the church’s roof. The church is named Parish of the Holy Sacrifice and can be found inside the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. This was designed by National Artist Leandro Locsin.

I took the photo while the younger children and I stayed outside in the garden during the mass. My hubby and eldest daughter stayed in the church.
