The view of  Taal lake with Taal volcano within.It’s a dreamy land that creates a romantic atmosphere especially for lovers.It is known for its  natural beauty.When the sun is up, the blue sky creates a stunning scenery especially with the presence of electric blue clouds and flocks of  birds gliding above.It is a perfect place for bird sanctuary too.

The greenery side,it is surrounded by mountains,vast vegetation of pineapples and sunflowers, not to mention the clear and clean water of the lake. Anyway, there is no place in the Philippines that does not have mountain of any kind.

Dry season started last November, this is the perfect time for you to visit Philippines.Come and experience the amazing beauty of my country,Philippines. There are many beautiful places waiting to be explored. Our land is rich in history and culture.

Note:  I took this picture during my third visit to this place and it is intended for you !  ! It was taken during our countryside visit last week in Tagaytay, one of the coolest place in the Philippines. For more beautiful scenery in Tagaytay, Check my next post soon.

Morning Text Messages

By on December 12, 2012

The shortening of words in texting  is now a common practice.I don’t think the grammatarians will like it, as well as English teachers may not like the spelling altered.Others,They find it easier to type and understandable for easier and fast communication. It was a short cut lessening some words. Naturally, busy people on a rush are the ones who needs it.This is one good example on how it was altered.

This morning, I received a morning message from grandma. I was shocked,I thought it was an error message from someone. It was an internet slang word. I can’t believe grandma can do such thing considering her age as 72 years old.Is my grandma getting young at heart all over again back to childhood? Strange weird,isn’t it? My body goes cold at once! The message was so short and just 3 words, ” H r u ? Originally, it was written as How are you ? 2 weeks after, The original words (9 letters) was reduced making it to 5 letters again,omitted the 2 letters of the first word ”How’‘ and written as ”How r u ?” Now, it was reduced again to 3 letters remaining, ”H r u ?’‘ I don’t think she can reduce it all over again. I can’t even define it as a word with sense!

I can just do  the same thing too. OMG! Let’s LOL ! Nobody is too old for grandma! Getting tummy ache for laughing too hard.

ARTIFICIAL BACKGROUND IMAGES

By on December 10, 2012

Today, An idea hit me! What about using an artificial background ? I learned this idea from a good friend who happens to be a professional photographer of Daily magazines. I just discovered that photos can be taken using techniques too.Previously, I have applied to a tree sparrow and thought it will also works for the honeybees. Using artificial background is just as deceiving your sight too. I’m aware of these. I know it will not come out to be a natural but, I want to try all sorts.It was an easy trick! See if it works, I’m worried what the result would be…..

    BLOGGER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER

How did I do it? 

Oh well,Got 3 A’s photography here. 3-A’s  stands for Awful, Annoying and amazing photographs. The idea was simple and easy.I tried hanging colored cardboard, some printed piece of magazines and colored art papers just behind the flower. All i have to do is to wait for the proper timing,waiting for the coming of honeybees to pollinate the said flower. It does not take longer since the bees keeps coming back many times to pollinate it again and again.At times, backing off to give ample time for the honeybees to get used to the presence of the light colored board.

The result is good as well as funny and annoying ! What do you think?  I was able to get good shots and wasting some too.There’s no harm trying,I can just correct my funny trial and error game! In photography,you can cut major body parts accidentally without even knowing it.You can cut the head, sometimes  one arm is missing ,sometimes, head is present without the body. It was all part of learning.

The result of images taken, It works for some, but, not as good as expected. Others are just good to reward my effort. The good thing about this experience,It was easy,no editing needed,no important piece of equipment needed,no interchangeable lenses,no tripod and you can even use  a pocked-sized camera which is more lighter to handle to turn quickly fast to the left and right.
