Ladies and Gents, welcome once again to another year of showcasing the hottest cars and models of the year. Fasten your seat belts and experience the rush, for here comes the 8th Manila International Auto Show! (Applause)

Manila International Auto Show 2012 Photos

As we all know that this event is all about cars and (of course) the ladies, this event I might say has been changed and improved constantly. Being a follower of this event for 3 years, I have to say that the last year’s MIAS (2011) was better; (I mean, don’t get me wrong, no offense to the gorgeous and sexy ladies here coz they were all smokin’ hot. I think last year’s good point, in my humble opinion, was more cars, cycles, and presentation than the usual) And I’m sure, some of our fellow hobbyists/ photographers would agree. I’m not disappointed though, it’s just that  you can’t actually avoid to compare.

So for those of you who have failed to visit this event, please allow me to show you some of the car models that I’ve taken during the event. Check this out!

Ladies and Gents, Welcome to a religious and entertaining cultural festival in Iloilo City held every 4th Sunday of January, in honor of our patron Santo Niño; The most prestige, energetic, loud, and eye-catching Dinagyang Festival!

Dinagyang Festival 2012 Photos

And since it’s my first time to witness and be part of this huge event, I just wanna share you folks my shooting experience that you might find helpful and interesting (specially for those who are planning to take photos in this event next time).

#1 – The golden rule and the secret for having good pictures…
- None other than having an ID/ Photographer Pass. And that folks is absolutely a must! Why? coz good gears aren’t that good without having an ID; And I’m quite sure you don’t wanna find yourself pity, rejected by the Marshals, sneaking for a good shooting spot.

#2 – So now you have the ID, what’s next?
- Prepare the right tools for catching a good fish! Ask yourself, what are the kind of shots you want to achieve. If your answer is ALL, then bring your Ultra-Wide Angle, your General-Purpose Lens and a Telephoto. In  my case, I only used a Telephoto since I’m only aiming for capturing moments and expressions.

#3 – Plant yourself on a perfect spot.
- Since your not the only one photographing this event, It is important to have a good spot.  My opinion? Front row-center. Be here as early as you can coz I’m gonna tell you once again, your not the only one who would like to be in this position.

#4 – Protect yourself at all times.
- Yeah, yeah, I hear ya! There’s no trouble planting yourself on a perfect spot, but be aware of the sunlight, coz this one will ruin your shooting momentum (just like what we’ve experienced). This is the lesson I’ve learned in this event, and my suggestion is… Bring something to cover you up when the sun strikes your spot. A hat, scarf, long sleeves, etc..

#5 – Water/ Thirst Quencher.
- If your planning to plant yourself in one spot, then water is a must.

So that’s it folks, I hope what I’ve shared to you can be something useful. Moving forward, here are some of the photos taken during their performance at the Freedom Grandstand. Hope you’ll like this one. Check this out!

The Philippine Blog Awards 2011

The moment I’ve received an email last Thursday saying …

Congratulations! Your blog http://www.shotnroll.com is a finalist for the Photo Blog Category at the 2011 (National) Philippine Blog Awards. We would like to invite you to the awards ceremony on the 3rd of December 2011, 6 pm at the Carlos P. Romulo Theater, RCBC Plaza, Ayala corner Buendia Makati City.

I said hey, wait a second, is this for real? Or this is just another internet scams that we don’t usually see everyday; Or maybe, just maybe, I’m just too denial to accept the fact that this blog has been recognized by the PBA (Philippine Blog Awards) judges as one of the finalists for the Photoblog Category – National Level. (Well I guess the answer is Yes, Ladies and Gents) I mean, who would have thought (even I) that this blog that I’ve created and playing with will be appreciated and recognized by the higher councils. “Tsamba” – yes it is! Hehehe!

The Iloilo Dinagyang Tribe – the last year’s Million Peso Grand Champion of Aliwan Festival (2010). Though I haven’t actually witness and experience Dinagyang Festival, but seeing their Street Dance performance is really smoking and impressive! They really did a good job representing Iloilo and introducing Dinagyang Festival to Manila  coz of their ground-breaking and undeniable performance. It was absolutely no doubt, they were the Champion and the Crowd favorite!
