The title says pachams but I’m not referring to the PG kind of pacham. I never thought that I’d be doing this post. I waited for updates regarding the DPP-Caltex Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Photo Competition that I joined three weeks ago but it was only earlier this week that I learned that they’re holding the awarding ceremonies on Friday. I was apprehensive at the same time excited...

I went to the 15th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta to try out my new 11-16mm f/2.8 Tokina UWA. I didn’t plan hope to ride a balloon and I haven’t event thought of joining the DPP-Caltex photo competition.

I got more engrossed...

Yesterday, my photography hobbyist friends and I went to Camp Sabros in Kapatagan, Digos, Davao del Sur.  We figured out that the place can make a good spot to take pictures since it’s situated at the foot of the country’s highest peak, the Mt.
