Key Point 4: Taken using my Canon Rebel XT with the Canon 50mm...

Taken using my Canon Rebel XT with the Canon 50mm F/1.8 & 10-22mm F/3.5 It helps if you understand or speak the local dialect so the kids won't be too shy to get their pics taken.

Photo Project: Kids

Just got back from Boracay, via Kalibo, Aklan hoping we could get a glance of what their Ati-Atihan Festival would look like. But alas, the heavy traffic, crowded streets and heavy baggage prevented us from doing so.

Here’s some quick picks from the Bora gallery I’m currently uploading.

At first, I just take shots before even asking them but it turns out you’re gonna get better poses if you ask nicely.

Boracay Children
Even if I asked, I don’t usually get positive replies. I wanted to shot a kid while he’s doing some back-flips but he stopped when he saw me aiming my lens at him.

I also met one of the top professional photographers (dorm mate and old friend back in college) in the country, Jake Versoza.

More pics once I finished uploading them in the Photo Gallery.

dude, if only i could have known that you were going to Bora. i have cousins there and my hometown is near Bora also. you could have enjoyed the more.

another thing i could arrange is a simple yet very at ease accomodation for you and your party there coz i have relatives that own a small cottage. ohh plus the food and security and especially the tour of the place and in my hometown (Poblacion, Buruangga) where my first cousin is the Mayor.

plus i have cousins that own fishing boats there and we could go with them in net fishing, you guys can even bring your own fishing rods for fun.

try and contact me next time and lets be blogger friends.
