second time on photo contest

I really love taking pictures so much that I enrolled myself to photography lesson. It so happen that the company that I was working was so generous that they offered it to eligible employees for free. Thank God naka save ako. As long as you have the guts, skills & initiative to learn plus you have a DSLR camera then that's it voila! After the entire 6 sessions workshop, we have this so called photocontest where in you will get medals if you get 1st place. Its also good  that we can learn from the critics of some professors and invited guests (professional photographers) from The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPPF). 

To know more about FPPF here is their official website

This was my chosen entries for the following categories:

                         my entry for STILL LIFE category entitled "FRESH FRUITS & VEGGIES"

  my entry for TRAVEL:WATER category entitled "THE CLEANEST LAKE IN THE PHILIPPINES"

                                my entry for PORTRAIT category entitled " BATANG DARNA"
                                              (won second place by .001% in score, sayang!)

         my entry for PHOTO JOURNALISM:Street Vendor category entitled " TAHO SA UMAGA"
                                                                                       i  won first place, yess!

Just a simple advice: bawal ang pikon sa photo critics, just take it as a lesson so u won't repeat the same mistakes again in taking pictures.

Important things to remember before taking pictures:

CLEF means 

                      C- Composition & Concept

                      L- Light

                      E- Exposure

                      F- Focus
