photo taken at the boni mrt station, around noon time. i had my camera with me that week, because i had planned on taking photos around the city. we were asked to show the more urban side of the philippines for our club's first coffee table book. the idea back then was to come up with something that will show the country as being progressive and innovative. i immediately thought about construction sites and the mrt. we have a different format for the coffee table book now, but i hope to continue taking more urban landscapes when i can. hopefully i can take one or two today while i have my camera with me.

full moon

i have always preferred sunsets over moon shots but that night, something about the moon and the sky begs me to bring out my camera and take pictures. starting at f/11, ISO 100 and 1/100, i took shots. of the many frames taken, around 30 or so, this one was most decent.

i did not know at first whether to write about this photo or not. but this morning, while browsing through a magazine, i was reminded of this photo when i saw pictures taken by red ognita. his moon was bigger (but in a quarter) and his clouds were still. my moon was full although my clouds are drifting. i dont know yet which i prefer, but i vow to take another moon shot when im once again in a tall building or an elevated place.

this is the first wedding layout i came up with after finding photoshop brushes and actions in deviantart. i cant believe so many gifted artists are kind enough to share what they have created for everyone else to use while asking so little in return.

thanks to nightfate for the photoshop coloring actions and to hawksmont for the floral brush. thanks also to LadyVictoire for the script brushes which provided texture for the layout.

without these add-ons, my wedding layout would not have been possible.
