Hi, have you tried sa may The Fort area... There are a few landscapes you can shoot at BGC.

I have quite a few themed parks na pwede mong tambayan kahit sa gabi. and practice shooting. I myself love to shoot there.. wala nga lang time lately...

Mr. Mon at mga Sempai,

Hello sa mga kasama. Kung pwede sana ma-share ng isang noob, practikal info tungkol sa Landscape photography para sa mga naka motor. Newbie lang po. Kung sakali, paki delete o disregard na lang po un mga bagay na di applicable sa inyo.

Usually, bago mag-ride, google/research muna pics/info tungkol sa destination, pati na ruta, rates. fees.gastos, accomodations/etc. Most of all, impt views/tanawins along the way. Kung group ride, ok lang. Ngunit mas hilig ko solo dahil pwede ka mag-stop kung me gusto ka kodakan, change route, extend or cut-short the trip na hindi naaabala mga iba.

Mga usual na dalahin: Nikon D3100 liteweight, pwede naka-balabal sa leeg habang umaandar, 18-55mm VR lens . Nasa backpak[ naka tie-down sa motor] : Pentax ws80(rainproof), cdr-king vidcam, celfon. spare batts. recharger(make sure na charge up mga batts.) , mem cards. lens cleaner. calling-card un simple lang. name + email add. Para kung meron tayong na-kodak at humihingi ng copy taga-duon, sabihin ko email nila sakin address o email add nila at ipadadala ko copy. ID's/license/OR&CR/atm etc. ball pen//route notes. card-reader/blankDVDs. Bak-up celfon. Rain gear, zip-lok plastic bags, water, coffee candies. Un container ng mga cams/atbp , e, plastic box (parang tupperware ) lined with styropor + bubble wraps. Tested na shockproof/waterproof.

Bago byahe, konting dry-run: dala lahat. syempre, kodaking also. check kung feeling mabigat ba. tapos un physical movements. taking the camera in/out of your bag. checking settings, looking around for shots. aiming/press ;check LCD. para ma-familiarize mind and body para smooth/fluid movements. Check tormots din.

Pakiramdaman din kung mentally/physically, at syempre, kung financially fit po tayo.

Noob settings ko po: aperture mode f/8 or 11 kung me-time. pero usually naka P or Landscape po. autoISO/WB. Focus mode=auto. Area: dynamic. matrix metering. Nuon nag-start 2011. di pa kaya madaming SD/batts, kaya puro jpg at shift to RAW pag kelangan lang. Eto mga susunod na byahe ko po, dahil medyo affordable na mem cards (tenkyu cdrking.hehehe), puro RAW na po.

Un listahan ng mga must-kodak ko po, e, base po sa na-google ko. Pero hanap din ibang angles. Ex.Baguio, along Kennon Road, meron pala waterfalls, hanging bridges, unique house on cliffs, historical bailey bridges. O kaya, [habang di pa putaktihin ng tourists], check out the fantastic views on Mt. Sto Tomas na malapit lang. Magtanong din po. Ex. ala sa listahan ko replica ng Statue of Liberty sa John Hay, Buti na lang natanong ko security guard ano magandang views dun.

Pasensiya na at medyo sa praktikal na info lang ng isang motor-rider na-share ko po.

Un mga pro tips/advice, e, sa mga guru dito na natin abangan.

Sana makatulong po.

Thanks
