i will never, ever forget this photo.

i took this when i first used a dslr, ever. prior to the trip, i thought i was already armed with techniques i have read from various photography references in the net. so i was really disappointed when i could not get the correct exposure!!! i insisted on using non-auto modes kasi pa-pro kunwari hehehe....

i thought i'd be going home empty-handed. i was even contemplating on how to explain to bin that i have given up on photography, our future bread and butter (mwehehehe).... when this stingray smiled upon me. :)

i think i only got 5 decent photos out of the 1gb cf i used up, but this photo definitely made my day. :D

it was only later that i learned that theathers, museums (haller, aquamuseum!), concert halls are some of the most challenging venues to take good photos because, more often, they lack of good light source. heheh palusot.
