LOWEPRO Fastpack BP 150 AW II : A Brief Review

Lowepro Fastpack BP 150 AWII I recently bought a new camera back pack to replace my aging Lowepro 250 AW DSLR Video Fastpack which I have been using for the last 4 years or so,  with the LOWEPRO Fastpack BP 150 AWII . I believe this is the new upgraded version as designated by the AWII. But to be honest, I should have bought the Fastpack BP 250 instead of this model which is the Fastpack BP 150. This model comes in 3 sizes namely BP 150 , BP 250, and the BP 350 . As the numbers suggest, the BP 150 is the smallest.

I was one among the thousands of Filipinos who “stormed” the Palace grounds upon learning that the once feared dictator President Marcos has fled after a relatively bloodless revolution  which was known and imitated throughout the world as the People Power. Armed with my Nikon FG, I strolled inside the Palace grounds and saw a group of leaderless Philippine Marines nervously standing in formation, apparently confused and disoriented as people flocked around them. Their officers were nowhere to be found and it was obvious that all officers had abandoned them. I was amazed as to the near chaos inside the Palace grounds that morning, yet, not a single shot was fired as the crowds inched their way inside th...

Having Fun With Selective Color !

A Philippine Navy sailor carries his tuba Playing around with selective coloring can be fun and addicting. This photographic technique may be used for fun and to emphasize the subject. I realize most pro photographers tend to shy away and sometimes can be  so incredibly  snobbish about selective color for some reasons. But hey, almost everybody loves selective color!  There really is no magic or mystery behind this technique. Want to try it? Go ahead and have some fun ! I’ll write some step by step tutorial on selective color next time, as soon as I figure out how to capture my screen for the illustration… In the meantime , you may want to check PhotoShop’s step by step tutorial on this technique, though the degree of difficulty may be in between moderate to hard.  I have PhotoShop, but I use Photo Pos Pro for it’s simple way of achieving selective color. And it’s free.
