Inflight Feb-March 2010
So what’s your favorite beach? 10 travelers were asked that question and here they share their sweet spots under the sun. Also included in Seair Inflights February-March 2010 Issue are features on Batanes and Vigan. There’s also some interesting bits information on what three popular tour guides, Ivan Man Dy, Carlos Celdran and Yael love about Manila. As for me, I was able to contribute to some images again for some spreads. Check out some pages on this issue now on board each Seair InFlight.

Odos Ongkoy, South Cotabato (Sony A550, f 5.6, 1/1250, ISO 200, 18mm, out-of-camera)
Before the on-set of the holidays late last year. I introduced the Sony Alpha A550 with Sony DT DT 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 SAM here. And after about three weeks with the camera, here is my express field review of this DSLR. Three weeks is actually a short time to really get to know a camera. Some people can run the entire lab test they want but it is different with actual usage and application of the camera in the field. I wasn’t able to fully utilize all the camera features here because of the short time and also of the holidays but I think I covered the important aspects of the camera below. Note that most images here are out-of-camera JPGs (OOC) with only resizing and watermark done on the images.

The Full Moon on a New Year 2010
Yes it comes only every 2 decades. And we get to see it this time again on the New Years Eve of 2009. No don’t expect the moon to be fully blue in color but it’s just a term for a double full moon in one month which happens rarely hence the term “Once in a blue moon” while technically here in the Philippines it starts at 3:15am January 1st so it wouldn’t be a blue moon on 2009 but on 2010. In fact 2010 would be a rare lunar year with having multiple blue moons here in the Philippines, which is January 1, and 30 and March 1 and 30.

Sony Alpha A550 DT 18-55mm Kit Contents
The year 2009 has been ground breaking for digital cameras. Every manufacturer seems to be putting out new features and technology that are changing the way people do photography. Sony was able to contribute to this growing technology by introducing their EXMOR R sensor. Sony Philippines was generous enough to give me a chance to play around with two of their recent cameras and both uses the new sensor technology EXMOR R with new BIONZ Processing engine. And the first up is their Sony Alpha A550.

There was a time I would look at calendars and admire the photos there. I would skim through the pages and enjoy looking at the pictures. There was even a time I kept a calendar past its marked year because I enjoyed the photos that much. Anyways, I finally got a chance to be on a calendar. I don’t know the pharmaceutical brand (I heard PrimeDrug is a subsidiary of a German Brand) but I’m happy still that they liked the photo and used it.
My photo of Batanes opens at the start of the year in January 2010. I hope that harkens good vibes for the coming year, 2010.

Singapore Orchard Road Underground (Olympus E-P1, 17mm M.Zuiko f2.8, ISO 200, 1/6sec, Pinhole)
Singapore and sanitation seems to go together in this little country. Above the streets everything seems normal. Most well to do people walking around and shopping. But life here is not all that dandy, the cost of living is high that some people can’t keep up. They don’t have greased homeless people like here in the Philippines but there are people in Singapore who are trying to survive by alms under the street.
