P52W10 - TTD

Choosing an entry for this week was difficult--I had some really nice shots from our trip to Potipot Island yesterday. I chose this portrait of Belle because it represents the next step I want to take in my photography. I want to learn how to light and shoot full-length, environmental portraits.

I had a little help from my best friend, JP, in the lighting department. He held the flash-umbrella rig over Belle, just outside the frame. Flash was set to full power to keep up with the ambient.

The rest of the pics from the trip are here.

Anvaya Cove with Safeway Manila

As promised, here are a few more of my favorite pics from our company outing at Anvaya Cove:

White Out
A fortunate mistake. I shot this coming out of the shade without changing my camera settings.

Wils... errr... Spalding
One of the group games was a modified 'Bring Me'. This is a snap of part of the winning team's collected items.

Waiting
Poor girl. She had to wait in the late-morning sun for the other participants to get organized.

Confusion
The game starts! And I wasn't paying attention to the instructions. I think they're trying to pass a message without talking.

Takbo!
Off they go to the next leg of the game!

Bonding
The guys we're trying different tactics to pick up the pace. Here they try synchronized skipping.

Spoons, Forks, Knives and a Flower
Snapped while in line for lunch.

Basin
And that's just water for washing sand off feet.

Test Shot
My trusty 5 Million Dollar Home stands in for Kai while I was testing out the different lighting settings.

Anvaya Pools
View from the tower.

Squares
I just liked the shapes.

Jump Shot
Eron takes the jump shot seriously. He's the only one that jumps off the wall! We were all laughing so hard after that, I couldn't keep the camera steady for the next shot! :)

I think this was the best company outing I've ever attended. Too bad, it was only a day trip. I wouldn't mind going back. *hint* *hint* ;)
