Light Subdued

It took only less than two minutes to have an opportunity to capture this shot. The rest of the day was sunny and cloudless, when all of a sudden this huge puff of cloud came into view and seemingly engulfed the sun. A minute later the sun shone brightly again. Good thing I was out practicing shooting with my CPL. I love moments like these.

Side note: I'm actually dressing up a new blog, ShutterMAX. It's still under construction but will be up soon, maybe.

Spanish Village

I looked out the window and I saw the beautiful blue sky, enticing me, taunting me to go out for a walk with my camera, Dates (haha, just thought of giving it a name). But where would I go? I was undecided. So, I just stayed put and took out Dates and shot from the bedroom. This is the Spanish Village as they call it. This is a low-rise condo just across the street from where I was standing. Took this practice shot using a CPL filter. There aren't much clouds so the sky turned out really blue. I'm still getting the hang of it. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out this shot. My first shot had great contrast but the buildings were quite underexposed. So I adjusted the exposure bias by +0.3EV and got this shot. It is very easy to underexpose a picture with a CPL filter on. Anyway, I'll continue to practice. More photos to come.
