I was invited to be a part of a Baptismal Ceremony. Lighting inside the church was surprisingly good with all the natural light coming in from all corners. More images on my flickr account.

Photography Sells

Photography surely does sell, doesn't it. This storefront looks like it came out of a magazine. Lighting is perfect and all I had to do is snap that camera. Less is more, evidently so, when it comes to billboards. - Primm Valley Mall, Las Vegas.

Fashion Mall Panorama

Very easily done, 3 images handheld (with a basic understanding of the nodal point) at 12mm DX format. Its fun implementing this technique on uninteresting compositions and see what you'll get.

We got to see how they turned the center space into a runway in a matter of minutes. Models pop-up from the ground floor and into the runway. See more of the images during our trip. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photosorcery/sets/72157608118498460/

To Whom the Bells Toll, originally uploaded by photosorcery.

Pano shot of the old Downtown Cathedral in Bacolod. This is in front of the plaza. People engage in sleazy business transactions near the plaza during wee hours, ironically located in front of this magnificent Cathedral.


Second picture was a fluke shot. I wanted to take a picture of this gorgeous church bell. After I saw someone sleeping, I got really excited and anxious to take multiple exposure shots.



Autopano software was used to generate this panorama.

Cadiz Old Port

I decided to take a few shots while crossing over this bridge in Cadiz City. They recently constructed a huge port on the other side of this channel.

Its weird going back home after almost 10 years. Im dazed and confused the first half of my trip... observing mostly with little participation.

Cornell Swimming Pool

Nostalgia once more! Pano shot from the top floor of Cornell Swimming Pool. 10 minute drive from our Cadiz vacation house. This is my happy place. Almost drowned several times when i was a kid, but its all good.

There used to be a diving board and used to be a lot deeper over 10 feet deep. Now they constantly shallowed the whole pool to about 5 feet.

Thats my cousin Basti in the middle of the pool.

Hand held pano shot and stitched using CS2. I really can't spend more than 10 minutes on each photo so pardon me for imperfections.
