Pau Soriano of Adamson ready to serve (Olympus E-3 DSRL, Zuiko 70-300mm f4-5.6)
My Olympus E-3 DSLR has taken the back seat for a while since I had my Olympus PEN E-PL1. I thought I bring out for some much needed exercise. For speed, I would still prefer a DSLR for its faster frame rate. I must admit, it’s nice to hold this solid camera block again even for a while. While I still prefer the PEN for it’s weight and compactness, the E-3 is still a powerhouse for some serious work.

Fiesta Casino Card Games (Olympus E-PL1, 14-42mm, Pinhole)
So I had my hands on some card games this morning at the Fiesta Casino, Thunderbird Poro Point Resort. It was a clean, money-less familiarization card games of Baccarat and Blackjack. It was fun, especially when I find myself on a winning streak. Now I know how it feels why some people get addicted to this games. It’s either yo continue your wins or try to recover your loss in this game of chance. It was interesting that I hope my stack of chips were really worth something. So I’m home now after a 6 hour ride. But not is all well at home as I recieved some unfortunate news. I hope things turn out okay though.

Luna Watchtower, La Union (Olympus E-PL1 9-18mm Zuiko)
The day was a lot kinder to us. It was bright and sunny that we were able to take golf carts around Thunderbird Resort Poro Point and go around La Union. There were lots of interesting spots in the area, like a couple of heritage sights, a beautiful botanical garden, a temple and an interesting halo-halo place. The afternoon as expected came with a downpour but we were happy enough to roam around.

View from my room veranda at Peacock Garden Resort in Bohol (Olympus E-PL1, Zuiko 9-18mm)
Third time’s a charm as they say! In a span of a month I’ve been to Bohol for the third time. I just came home from a magazine photo assignment which I may say is so far the most physically challenging and also life-risky shoots I’ve done. It’s all about adventure I say and it was hell lot of fun. As much as I liked to do a daily dispatch, I can’t divulge much detail until the issue is out.
