RockEd: Fresh Take

I first heard this project from Gang's blog and then Joey promoted it on the Pisay96 ygroup. Mic brought it up and I got me thinking about equipment required, number of shots, batteries, etc.

I scoured google, youtube and other sites, where there was a passing mention of using a desktop computer's atx power supply to power Vivitar 285HV flashes. I'll post again some other time regarding this mod, but for now, it works :D

Although it was hot and tiring, I'd say it was a worthwhile experience and I'd like to invite all of you to inquire and help out.

Here are a couple of outtake pics from the shoot... none of the actual pics coz I haven't confirmed the usage policy :)

Shot til I can't shoot no more

Skuld(canon eos 350d) and I took around 500 shots last week at 5 different locations/events. I think I broke some self limit by participating in all this but felt sort of fulfilled.

I went to hidalgo and bought myself a reflector. The moment I saw the 42 inch one, I knew I wanted it. It took a while to decide between 2-in-1(950Php) or a 5-in-1(1800php), but the gold side won me over. In the image is the reflector and a dvd for size comparison.ePLDT UCCP Shoot [2007.05.17]
Mika YMd last week asking if I was free to do a shoot for one of their poster/ads. I was a bit hesitant in agreeing because I felt I wasn't ready and it would be my first paid photoshoot. When I got there, I saw some familiar faces and the models/employees were very game and cooperative. The shoot took a while but it was fun :) Other pics.

Jayvee(ABuggedLife) started this as a single post and grew exponentially as a lot of people were interested in it. Jerry Polence and Rossette Yabut were the models and there were lots of photogs. Other Pics.
Family Pic [2007.05.19]
It is incredibly rare to catch my family in one place at the same time so I took the opportunity to take an informal picture.
