for everyone

This being my second straight year to go to Bora (from 24-27 Apr), i made sure that i would be fully armed with the right photography gear. I mean, i had a crappy superzoom the last time around, for heaven's sake.

This year, i'm bringing 2 semi-pro bodies (D300 and 40D), 2 IS lenses (17-85 and 70-200 f/2.8L), 2 macros (Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and Canon 60 f/2.8), an ultra-wide (Tokina 12-24) and a fishy (Sigma 15 f/2.8). The icing on the cake? I got myself a Cokin filter system today. I tried fooling around with it while waiting for some clients, and here are some results. First pic is with a Tobacco 2, ND8 and Star 8. Second pic is with a CPL, Sunset and Tobacco 1. Shots taken at Greenbelt park, Makati City.

Boracay, you're dead meat.

Hi enzo! Yeah, merong Cokin holder na pwede ang tatlong filters, and you can combine effects.

Wala sa pana yan, bro. Tingnan mo mga pic ni Edwin Loyola -- that guy only uses a 20D, pero hanep ang galeng. ;)

Aksidente, sir. I was looking for a 70-200VR and a back-up body. Eh walang long-range zoom sa suki ko and didn't trust others in Hidalgo. Then my suki offers a 40D and 17-85 IS kit for 69K kaya ayun. I just laud the D300, but i'm quite impressed with the image smoothness of the 40D. With some tweaking ng settings, pareho na sila ng D300 sa output. :)
