Décolletage

Consider yourself warned – atleast that’s how it sounded to me. When I was in SG last month (oh wow it’s December already!!), Mac advised me that with my Nikon’s D80 I cannot do anymore mirror shots as if it’s gonna degrade the value of the camera. LOL! Mac is another photography hobbyist friend of mine and it just so happened that he’s using the same model. I was like FINE! I mean, what are tripods for right?? Haha! Besides, I don’t really intend to use it that way, although I’ve seen some fashion bloggers who do that. :P

Anyways, last Saturday:

Haha! We met a certain old man named Mang Jun who does taking photos for a living in Luneta. Unfortunately for me, he’s familiar with the Pentax and Canon brands only. LOL! Nevertheless he gave my SLR a good old try and that was the outcome above.

So to answer your question Wil, yes I’ve been using the camera. Oh wait, your question was am I practicing taking pictures right?? Haha!! I do. I do. Erm, mostly portraits especially eversince the camera arrived, my mother’s always like “Kunan mo kami, Kunan mo ako” *rolls eyes* Haha!! And then there’s my Tita too, who after taking shots of her, was like “Ay, hindi ba de-film yan?” Haha! Not in a funny way, but just in an amusing kind. :P

Btw, pic above is not in Luneta but from a parking lot in Nova, QC after attending a religious convention. Here’s another photo in one of the condos we visited after the meeting this time taken by my cousin:

O diba parang si Marian lang from SMDC’s billboards of their condos! Wahaha!! Woohoo!! Ayan ha, I scouted for a shoot location na din! Haha!

So model and dress – check; location – check! Kaya lang, the only dilemma is the setting. Haha! I’m not sure how to create photos like Taghrid’s. Wherein details of the dress are very vivid while not sacrificing the background. Does it have something to do with distance? Focus?? The resolution?? The camera itself?? What?? LOL!

Anyway décolletage dress above is from MNG. And yup, that’s where I spent your GC’s Wil. So, thanks thanks! It’s figure hugging not to mention an animal print also right?? Haha! Suede pumps from Zara that I had to reserve @ Powerplant since they're the only store that has size 41! LOL!
