Canon Photography Seminar

I had this opportunity last April 21 to join Canon's photography seminar held in SM North EDSA. Its Canon's treat for the 15 years here in their loyal customers for the padt 15 years. We had Canon Ambassadors of Light Jay Jallorina, Jay Tablante and Per-Andre Hoffman as our insructors. This is one class surely i will never forget. It made me inspire more in taking photos and be a well-known Landscape and Travel photographer.This also gives me the opportunity to meet other photographers and make friends.

Sir Jay Jallorina taught us about the 3 important elements to create a breathtaking photo; Vision, Skill and Execution. Another topics is about the different techniques and tools that we will be needing to achieve the perfect shot. I find all the topics so interesting, I'm definitely going to save money to attend one of his Chasing Light trainings. I wish I can list all the topic here in my blog soon.

The second part of the training is with sir Per-Andre Hoffman, he is one of the well known travel photographer whose works are published in National Geographic Magazines. He taught his techniques in photo printing and color management without using any software. He also told us that NatGeo doesnt accept photos with too much editing through photoshop.  He has been from almost every continent and all those photos are so amazing.

I'm really thankful that I chose Canon for my camera because the aftersales service is good and they really do take care of their customers by providing training with great masters. Looking forward for another photoskwela class.

Someday our work will also get published by international magazines. :-)

Sir Per Andre was so kind and even signed my brochure

Canon Photoskwela Plus

I recently attended the Canon Photoskwela Plus last saturday, March 24 at the Canon Imagenation Center in Manila Zoo. We had sir Jiggie Alejandrino and sir Noel Puyat as our instructor. They taught us with the basic operations of our cameras and tips on how we can make a simple snapshot into a photograph. Indeed their lessons helped me a lot in improving my art.  This gave me also an opportunity to meet other people who shares the same passion in photography.

I hope canon will provide us with more Photoskwela classes to everyone. I'm really thankful for that wonderful time yesterday.

Here are some of the photos from our class:

Adding Canon in the Photo

The horse was on the other side of the river. Canon let me use their EF300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens in my Canon 1100D for this shot. I hope next time they can include it in the prize. :-)
