Eldar the Wizard (Olympus E-PL1, Lumix 20mm, 1/250sec, f1.7, ISO 200) Who doesn’t love theme parks? Growing up, I enjoyed visiting these places especially at this time of the year. It’s always a fun place to be in. Here in the Philippines, Enchanted Kingdom remains to be the premiere theme park. It’s almost 2 years since my last visit and have noticed they have spruced up a bit with a new ride and few new attractions.

Step into the music of Switch (Olympus E-PL1, Lumix 20mm, 1/50, f1.7, ISO 100) It was one of those rare times where people can linger around MRT stations and bring their cameras out to take some pictures. It was also one afternoon for me where I get to do some station hopping just to see what bands were playing. Last Sunday, December 12, was Rock the Riles 2010 brought to you by RockED . It’s an annual event held every Sunday of December near the Human Rights Day .

Johnny Danao at MRT Boni (Olympus E-PL1, Lumix 20mm, 1/80sec, f1.7, ISO 800, +0.7, WB Shade) His body sways back and forth to the rhythm of his strums as if in trance, he enters to the groove of his music. Johnoy Danao is a new face and voice for me in music. And from his solo acoustic performance of his original Ulan to his rendition of Bob Marley’s Redemption Song, I was already taken by his music and the clarity of his voice. An artist to watch out for much in line with the likes of Noel Cabangon and Cythia Alexander. I’m glad I waited for him to perform.

Wide eyed Alexa (E-PL1, 20mm, 1/30sec, f1.7, ISO 800) Normally, Portrait Photography shows the dominance of the subject’s face on the frame. It aims to show the subject’s character facial features and expression. Ideally, portraits are shot with a lens at least 85mm (on a 35mm equivalent) long on wide apertures at least f2.8 to flatten out the perspective and separate the subject from the background with at least beautiful enough bokeh (or background blur).
