Oh..oh..oh..Oly…(Give me a dlsr,from the heavens above!)

 

Valentines day,gone out with my camera and went to the last day of photoworld 2006(3rd time) again,watched some speakers on thier tips in photography and post processing as well.I Bought some filters(on sale,to experiment on my camera).I treated myself on a lunch at greenbelt..lol..Quirky eh,but i enjoyed a lot!

 

Some shots i took: 




 




 

 

The Next morning,I went to ayala museum for a olympus seminar/intro to thier E-System DSlrs.Luckily,there are also phipho members(sir photojazz and sir theregent) waiting at the entrance when i got there.A few minutes later another phipho member came(sir rave)..About past 9am,we were told to go up the museum for the start of the seminar..I was suprised to see two masters of photography here in our country,Lito Beltran with his wife and son and Vic Sison attending a seminar.lol..Well they were nice,even letting me to sign first on the registration though im behind them..At the room minutes before the program started,another phipho member came(sir ryanfelipe with a friend) and sat right next to me as we waited for the program to begin..

The Seminar Begins…

Mr. Tanaka(Olympus Asia) –Introduced the features and advantages of their Dlsrs,like the 4/3 system(four thirds system)and dust protection system(which is done through a SSWF-supersonic wave filter so wouldnt have to worry if dust gets when changing your lenses).These Features made me change my mind!lol.Truly,olympus is more focused to perfect the digital format,not just competition..They also have the open standard,in which kodak,fujifilm,sanyo,panasonic and sigma supports thier CCD and lens technology.

An executive of axis global(olympus distributor here) is there also to tackle a great aftersales costumer service.I think,it is a first here,even canon hasnt done that.The service they are offering to E system DLSR users,is that when the camera is having some problems/malfunctions,they would have a door-door service,replace your Camera with a same unit while repairing your own one.All for 200 bucks! Great..

 

After that,international photojournalist Jeffrey Aaronson(NewsWeek,Time,National Geographic,Travel&Leisure,Rolling Stone etc.) Shared and tackled a slice of his accumulated photos(he showed 80 of his 350,000 lol).It was a long slideshow and discussion though i learned  a lot from his explanations..

 


About this photo:I really dimmed the exposure compensation here though it was really dim..I want only to capture the apple logo on sir aaronson’s laptop and what he’s explaining through the projector(now its an explanation of a photo!) hahaha.

 



This is what really the eye can see.. 

 

 

 

Questions were entertained right after sir Jeffrey Aaronson presented and discussed his photos..Few models also were called to present and let us try the E Slrs..haha..

 

 

Whats on his left hand??…haha…. Sir Aaronson answering a question.. 

 

 

Oh great..an E 500 slr.. 



The Slr is great,So are you! hahaha 

 
Can i have that Dslr and you?! : )



 

 

Now,Im much convinced with Olympus’ E system DSLRs and i will get one if my budget permits it(ASAP!)haha.Oh..oh..oh..Oly…(Give me a dlsr,from the heavens above!).haha.But for now,im still learning the art of photography so my present camera is good for me,it has a variety of manual controls and a great lens..To the phipho members i met,Nice meeting you sirs..Happy shooting!hahaha..Till next time.. : )

 

By the way,i took some shots at after the seminar..Hope you’ll like it.
