Christmas Photos and Some Favs Throughout ’08!

[chrissyclass]

I love taking pics and I shot a majority of the photos. Some on timer. Some taken of me. All shot in the Philippines except for a few which took place in Hong Kong or China.
Enjoy!

It's 11ft tall! And I've fallen off the ladder decorating the top

After the ladder incident...

Moments before electrocution!

Whew! Did they all load up? Hope you liked 'em. It's all part of a tradition I share with my friends and cousins, we share out fav pics at the end of the year!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments!

I use two cameras, nothing fancy…just a Canon Powershot S2IS and my trusty ol cheapo Olympus Camedia point and shoot cam, which fits right in my pocket. Very convenient for instant photo ops.

I don’t have a particular guide. When I got interested in photography I remembered just looking at photographers sites and especially around flicker. I just try to mimic the angles and lighting techniques used.

I do edit my photos since I like the colors to be vibrant. I use Ulead for the more detailed enhancement. A majority of the time I just use Picasa where you can literally edit a photo in just 10 seconds. It's so easy…I usually just play around with saturation, brightness, contrast, sharpen and sometimes glowing fuctions. You can download Picasa here....it’s a free program. I think it's a must have if you don't have alot of time!
