Happiness for me is having a new S2 and week off for vacation !

I visited Manila last week. Packed my 3-day old S2+28-105D, the instruction manual and a dozen AA's. The size of the camera attracts too many unwanted attention at times, but then again sometimes the attention is exactly what I need. I appreciated having iso1600 to compensate for my lightweighted lens.

I really like looking at the PJ type shoots. Terrific portfolio you have there Thomas.

So how much does that shark weigh in? 200+ lbs???? Wow.

I hope I didn't get that wrong

Thank you! I miss the jeepney and tricycles already.

Once you learn how to use them, it's amazing that they can get you almost anywhere!

Mabuhay!

Thanks Nick!
I think the Philippines is a really friendly place for photographers,
so many of the people I've met were happy to be in front of the camera.
200+ lbs would be a good guess.

Thank you!

We got of bed at 4:30 that morning, hopped on a jeepney and was just in time for the brilliant sunrise. It was well worth it.

With a darker tan and my camera in the bag, I can pretty much pull it off as a local sometimes. And if I keep my mouth shut of course.

That picture was a lucky shot. The children are always full of expressions.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the invitation!

I definitely hope to be there again. The people and children were all so friendly. There was always so many moments worthy of photographing just walking down the street, even though most of the time I chose to look less like a tourist and kept the camera in the bag, But then again I lost record of how many times I thought" Darn, that really could have been a good shot..."
