Sinulog 2013 Cebu (One Beat. One Dance. One Vision.)

It is my first time to photoshoot the Sinulog street dance parade at Cebu City held last 20 Jan 2013, this was during my last vacation trip to Cebu City, Philippines. The shots were taken along the street of San Carlos University Cebu and few taken at the Cebu City Sports Complex where the grand showdown was held. It was an amazing experience despite the blazing heat and the heavy crowd. All photos were taken using my sony a57 camera, sony 16-50mm f2.8 SSM lens and my trusty 30+ years old lens, the minolta 70-210mm f4 a.k.a. "Beercan" lens.Enjoy the photos and feel free to leave comments below.

Macro Photography

Want to share my macro photos. Most of my shots were insects i found just everywhere that has plants, bushes and flowers. All images taken using my Tamron 90mm F2.8 macro lens. I still don't have the gears for
shooting top notch macro shots, all my shots are using natural outdoor lighting, but still able to captured a few good ones.
