Sportivo undergone High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering

Last weekend I took some photos that I will use for my next photography project -- learning how to do HDR images using Photomatix Pro. Some of my co-hobbyists were amazed that may Point and Shoot camera can capture images for HDR. Last December 15 I tried to process the photos.

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5
Model: Isuzu Sportivo owned by a family friend.:)
Photographer: Chatkick Photography-series of 2008
Software: Photmatix Pro 3.0.1 (trial version)

Original photos that I used for HDR to be posted later.

First try without proper knowledge of how it really works. I just know how to take photos that will undergo HDR processing. Other technicalities? Nada.

First try:
I posted it at Multiply for comments and they said it was way-off the supposed outcome. But some have appreciated it though. To the rescue were my fellow photographers who happened to be the ones who commented on it too...^_^

Echel volunteered to help me via YM, but he did the HDR rendering first before laying the inputs I needed to get a good HDR. Here it is:
Using what he has taught me minutes before going home, tada!
Not the same as Echel did but it was way too far from my first one...hahahaha!^_^

Thank you guys for all the help...:D

Getting ready for Christmas party(a re-post from my multiply again..hehe)

Well, I just made myself 'presentable' for our Christmas Party later. hehe!

And, just to post some gifts to be given away to my colleague.

Christmas time is really near yet I do not feel any difference. Maybe when I reach our hometown for Christmas vacation it will change. Spending Christmas with my family will always be my top priority and I can't imagine otherwise.

The good thing is, our organization always practice having long Christmas Vacation..

Ruined Monday??...urgh!(late post, copied from my multiply)

So here's my story. Yesterday, we went shopping for Christmas (which I hardly do, I only shop if I really need something). I was so tired so as my companions. Though I am tired I still managed to make some Christmas gift bags for our company party tomorrow. Oppps, I fitted some wardrobe by the way before making that 'project'.
(some pics of my new wardrobe for the coming Christmas season):

a baby tee and short(oh how love shorts!!)

and finally, I want to invest on some good looking dresses!!!planning to buy some addition next year, one is enough for this year...hehe!(as a teenager, I am used to pants and not the skinny type...hehe..and lose shirts, that's why many people thought I am not a 'she' but they are all wrong...hahahahaha!!!)

Back to what I needed the gift bags for, uhm, just to make some simple gifts to give away to my colleagues presentable. What else have I done before going to bed? some room cleaning and some thoughts for the paper work that my best friend needed, doing-some-'ate'-tasks-for-my-little-brother-type-of-stuff. I was so busy that I even forgot to watch Surf's Up in HBO. Still early for my sleep time, time check 11:15 p.m. this is the reason why I cannot live without a wrist watch, I don't tend to take it off often, bacause I am used to check time every now and then. I had the usual night already...(lights off)ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZz....


Then, suddenly..."BLAG!!!!!!!!!"(actually it is so loud that I was awakened in an abrupt manner, imagine how I was pissed because of that sound, it was as if he or maybe it is a she who closed the gate improperly wants to ruin the gate) someone went home late but early in the morning that ruined my good night's sleep (time check - 1:20a.m.). I know who that someone is-- he is my neighbor actually a friend too. I already told him before about closing the gates. No issue on me if it were done in the the daylight.

So what happened after that incident?


I tried going back to sleep, I barely had 2 hours of sleep and I need to go to work!!!...I did everything, usually I fall asleep so easily, but this time I had the hardest time to do so. After 40 minutes had passed with my eyes still widely open I turned on the tv and watched MTV set the volume on the maximum (actually I was aiming to set it higher if the TV would may.) Talk about noise, huh?!duh, I don't care, I was pissed and I really don't care anymore. I have a reason why I chose MTV and set the volume on the maximum. To tell you frankly, loud music can make me fall asleep. The more throb the music has the better but the output of the TV's speakers cannot give me what I want. I switched the channel and watched Discovery Travel & Living. Still cannot manage to fall asleep. (time check - 3a.m)

I decided to clean the entire house instead!!! every tiny piece of dirt, GONE!! (time check - 5a.m.)

Crap! I set the alarm 6a.m. and what?? I am still awake! I am going to work and time is ticking...


Finally, past 5a.m. I fell asleep. Still I don't want to considered it as ruined Monday. I have done some productive stuffs, just that my muscles are not in good condition due to lack of proper sleep. Thanks to my neighbor. I texted him to reprimanded him. No reply, I just hope he got it.


Office time. Haggard looking???or still managed to appear okay?

There is a Hacker on the LOOSE!!!...beware!

*This is a re-post from my friend's blog. Good thing I am not logged last night...whew!..:)

Beware people, there is a hacker on the loose. Their modus operandi, use your friends previously hacked e-mail address. In my case, they used my college friend email address "joanalyn.delacruz", and now they are using my e-mail "rjcarpio24" to hack other people on my network.

Please if ever your are on the contact list of above mail addresses, block it immediately as you might be the next victim.

How to know that they are hackers:
1. You will easily identify that the person is a hacker if the way he/she talk is different from the usual person you talked with.
2. He/She will tell you: "I'm uploading pics please check", the file name he/she will send you is "yahoo.html" don't try to save it. It will lead you to YAHOO sign-in page. Once you enter your username and password, your dead. They already have an access to your email. In few seconds they will tell you that they have a control to your e-mail and your ym will just sign out and will scam your contacts doing same procedure.

Below is the sample of chat exchange my friend logged during her conversation with the hacker:

One of my friend was also hacked using my email. The hacker asked his family to send him PHP5000.00 worth of globe load and his sister-in-law did as my friend did not inform them immediately.

Please be vigilant. Let us stop this net burglar. Once your e-mail address was hacked, tell immediately your family and friends to make them aware and change your other account's mail notification.

PLEASE REPOSE THIS IF YOU THINK IT IS USEFUL TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.

Super Busy

Hell yeah...I'm super busy, so many work, yet so little time. The only consolation is the thought that Christmas vacation is just 12 days away...amf!...I wanna go home...

To view my cam-whoring practice

Since, I acquired (my long-time dream of owning) a camera for my photography whims. I have posts some of my shots at my multiply account. Feel free to view my photos, if you want to comment then do.:)

At long last! I have a baby..:)

Finally, I got myself a camera!!!:D

I got a greatest deal, good thing was I have a friend who agreed with me to have it in a much lower price, five gives and used for just 2 months by the first owner (my friend)..:)

Just want to share

I had this urge to write something in Tagalog. Then, it turned out to be something sad. hehehehe!

Dreams

Yeah right!,dreams are just dreams and it is up to us when to pursue things. But you know?sometimes, it is better to just dream and remain dreaming. Why? because, in dreaming you are not hurt, you are always having happy thoughts, great position nothing can make you cry. All things are about happiness.

Worst is, when you remain dreaming, nothing will change, you will not get lessons. Yes, we need to dream but we also need to try it in reality, if it hurts, then we have to be thankful, we are blessed that we had the opportunity to have had a taste of life..:), a bittersweet reality of life.

Not so long ago

It's been a while since I wrote in here...gosh!six moths passed??!...anyways, it is because I used other website, I am also doing my blogs at http://stariuschat.multiply.com...Hahaha!!so many blogs...hehehehehehe...

Starting all over again...I am going to start my writing inclinations here again...:)
