First, let me say DAGHANG SALAMAT (Many Thanks) to my cousins and aunts who sent us a package full of sweets and pasalubongs (Presents). For us, you are not only sending sweets, you are also sending "home" with it. It seems like home is not that far away... and thanks to my sister too for the free shipping.. hehehehehe.

And so, for the photo setup. Well, my usual canon gears and for the lights, a white-led flash light. The flashlight comes very handy for small subjects. I like how the light is concentrated right in the middle.

As I was picking up the mail, I noticed these mushrooms sprouting all over the place. It was around 5:40 in the afternoon and I was loosing the light fast. I rushed home and grabbed my camera. I told Chelsea about what I saw and brought her to the place to see it. I took some shots and of all the sets, I think this is my winner. I love the angle of the light and also the height of each mushroom. The grass around them add drama to the scene. It also represents our family - me, my wife and our daughter.. :o)

I used my 70-200 2.8IS. I was shooting at 1/100, 2.8 and 400 ISO to give it a washout effect.

Communion Portrait - My favorite shot

Chelsea had her first Communion at St. Francis Parish Church. I took some studio shots a couple of days before. It was really fun setting up shots and trying to make things work. With a few imagination and patience, you will always have a good result. I love taking portraits and studio shots.
