Hmn... I should update this blog w/ my T500(?) :)

Last week, sep28thu, a typhoon locally tagged as 'Milenyo' swept thru Luzon. MetroManila was directly hit and toppled towering billboards on Edsa and South Luzon Expressway. Some unfortunate people died and others were badly injured. Luzon was in total blackout after a few minutes of the 'first wave' - strong winds blasting from northwest. And as of today, a considerable number of barangays are still without electricity.

Last Saturday we (family with 2 little boys) got the chance to go out of the house and escape the misery brought about by having no electricity and attended a party where there is power courtesy of generators. Driving along SLEX foot by foot (heavy traffic as usual) and equipped with my A40, I took the chance to 'document' the "melted billboards". It was late noon so pardon the quality and note that these pics were taken from the driver's seat with my eyes on the car in front of ours. I hope you get the idea from this series of pics.









<- the big nasty one that sandwiched a bus
<- and another future accident.


btw, my A40 is on its 9000+ shot (about 4yrs old) and its already failing when in zoom mode so I can only use it on its shortest focal length nowadays :P

play around...


using irfanview... edit... negative... =)

interesting blog days...

these past few days have been very interesting... i'm still on the process of getting a name for 'my other blog site' and thought of words to try and found out that the ff (among others) are already existing

simulight/timeframe/eyescream/letthelightin/visualeyes.blogspot.com

most are photography related and some are wasted with just 1 blog or so in it.

anyway, i've finally reserved a name and have to think carefully of the whys/whats/whens/hows of posting to my photography blog site.

before signing off, i tumbled upon a picture of my eldest kid - no rules in photography applied specially that of the 'thirds' :P sometimes you just have to point and shoot and remember to keep your p&s digicams in its lowest ISO setting to lessen the noise :)

image converted to grayscale via irfanview with a little bit of sharpening which i always do when downsizing images

'shadow'

eyespeak lost :P

unfortunately, someone has already used that blog name :P but i like the pics :) they're worthy for that title :) go on and visit eyespeak.blogspot.com... in the meantime i'll have to think of another title [sigh]
