I have always wanted to take pictures inside UPD Campus but I never had the chance, until now. I already submitted my entry for the contest. Any outcome will suit me. I've learned a lot from the photo session.  I will try to go through the details, but for now, enjoy the photos on the slideshow above. :)




All the people who joined this contest at the office were given the chance to attend the basic and advanced photography classes. Some of the things I learned from there are the following:

* For handheld shots, recommended minimum shutter speed is 1/125 to avoid blurry photos.
* You don't always need to follow what's shown on the metering mode. Humans would know better than the machine.
* Spot metering mode is the best setting during concerts!
* For the photo composition, it's more effective to have a foreground object on landscape shots.
* Try using bracketing during sunrise and sunset photos to balance out the exposure of the light (sky) and the dark (land) parts.
* Research about stock photography (useful for astro photos!)

Mastering photography has always been one of my goals. This is one step towards it. Yay!

[UPDATE]
A month ago, the selected photo entries for the photography contest in the office were posted in one of our office floors.
