ACHIEVING NEW HEIGHTS IN NURSING



It was a Saturday.

Our mom just arrived yesterday from another country to witness this once in a lifetime event of my sister. She did it! Capping/Pinning on nursing students is one of their greatest moments in which it is so hard to achive. You must be dedicated enough to reach that milestone in your life.

I was lucky enough to witness this event. And of course, this event will not be special enough if memories cannot be captured in a photograph.

Good thing I bought my handy dandy S2 IS. Taking pictures inside an auditorium was pretty hard enough for me. Low light plus moving subjects makes it harder. Most of my shots were blurred and I am forced to use high ISO (200 for S2 IS is pretty high and somewhat noisy). Good thing I have my trusty Photoshop CS.

When we went home I spend more than 4 hours just to edit the not-so-best pictures that i took. And the result? 46 images all edited to make it better.

That's what you called achievement in a small way. ;) Fortunately, my sister and my mom were happy with my shots.

Oh and one thing, while I'm editing my pics i've noticed someone who really loves to have her picture taken. Take a look at this one photo that i've edited to emphasize her.

Girl Looking


And another shot from a different scene....



Have you noticed her on the second picture?

Good Day! :)

PRO PHOTOGRAPHER.....TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

This is it.

My first journal since I've entered into the realm of photography.
Here you can follow my footsteps as I struggle to be one of the top photographers in my time.
Will I succeed just like reaching the top of Mt. Everest?
Or...
End up somewhere in Luneta asking people to take their pictures?
Or worse...
Suiting myself along city halls of metro manila for people who want to have their ID Picture taken.

To Be or not to Be?
We'll see..
God guide and help me.
