Afternoon walk and photo ops
For 2 consecutive days, we are asked to log out from our shift earlier than usual because the number of captchas in the qeue is not proportional to the number of coders. To me it’s an advantage because I can attend to my pending tasks. But instead of doing the laundry or updating my blogs, I decided to have a walk at SunCity’s entrance and have a sunset photo session. The first day that I was off early, I immediately prepared my gear, change my clothes and off I went to my destination. The sun is about to set so I had a short walk around the road’s island and find the best spot for the shoot. The DSLR was set to save images in RAW format so I ended up taking only 97 shots for the 1GB memory card. I am not yet done with the sunset shoot when the memory card was full so I deleted some of the photos and continue shooting which reminded me of the plan to get another memory card. I had a hard time choosing which one to delete so I really need another CF card this time. The sunset was so nice but it would be more beautiful taking it in the beach so that the horizon is clear….without obstructions. Anyway, it’s my first sunset shoot so I just enjoyed the moment while experimenting on the different white balance, ISO and exposure settings. What I have in mind is Mommy Lou’s advise….just click the shutter and worry about the result later.
