Secure Digital Cards and its Classes

A Secure Digital card shortly known as SD card is a small flash memory card designed to provide high capacity memory in small size.

This is widely used in portable devices such as laptops, camcorders and digital cameras. It comes in many sizes but of the same shape and different classes.

Cliche Subjects

Plants, specifically flowers are the usual subjects photographers both amateur and professional alike tend to take shots with. I think every photographer has at least one shot of flower in his/her portfolio. Why do you think it is so?

I figured that flowers are cliche subjects because of the natural beauty it possesses. Flowers come in varying sizes, shapes, shades, forms,  textures and growth behaviors. These characteristics not only carry unparalleled physical attractiveness but also carry wonders that Nature alone can understand.

Lesson One: Photography and Exposure

Early in the morning I went out of the house and stayed in a place conducive to learning. All I had was Basty and his manual. After hours of reading, comprehending and applying the lessons and tips from the manual, I stopped and headed back home.

I didn't want to rush things. As much as I wanted to learn everything right  there and then, I drew the line of patience and forcefully calmed myself to understand that the whole activity is a step by step process and a lot of practice has to be done.

Wanted: Adaptor

It was a day after I bought Basty that I realized I need to have an adaptor for his charger. Fortunately, we have three of them in the house. Unfortunately, all three of them are used.

Since the situation called for it, my sister allowed me to use hers. I went to Silicon Valley the following day and bought one for Php85.00. And of course, what is Basty for? I took shots of the adaptor. Here are two.

Meet Sebastian "Basty" Bas

Everyone, meet Sebastian Bas. Basty for short. He's a Canon EOS 600D.

I bought him from PRG Photo Shop at Baseline Center for a whopping Php25,000.00. With him in the box comes the EF-S 18-55 IS II lens kit, battery pack LP-E8, battery charger LC-E8, wide strap EW-100DB III, an interface cable, a stereo AV cable, EOS digital solution disk, a software instruction manual and the camera instruction manual.
