Manila Ocean Park Photos, Oceanarium Revisited

Ladies and Gents, allow me to welcome you again to the state of the art hydro cells of Manila Ocean Park
where shooting is sweeter, the second time around.

What’s the difference between the 1st and 2nd visit?

1. Same old cells, new faces
- Yup! Some fish were replaced by the new ones.

2. No more Spider Crab
-Yes it’s true, the gigantic spider crab is gone, and wherever he is, he will always be remembered.
Long live the spider crab. \m/

3. Rose at Rest
- On my 1st visit, I use my lens named Rose (Canon 50mm f/1.8 II) to test under low-light conditions. So since this is a revisit, I use my all around lens named Daisy (Canon 17-85mm IS USM) instead, to feel the difference and compare results.

Here’s the difference between the two ladies (Canon 50mm vs. Canon 17-85mm):
1. Settings
- Good settings equals good photos. Here’s the settings that I’ve used on my 1st and 2nd shoot.

Canon 50mm lens settings:
ISO 800
f/2.5 to f/3.5
1/60 to 1/100 sec

Canon 17-85mm lens settings.
ISO 1600
f/5.6
1/15 to 1/60 sec

- Based on the settings above, Canon 50mm is the good one to use.
+1 for Rose.

2. Zoom range
- 50mm vs 85mm? Canon 17-85mm wins this one obviously. You can shoot those fishes more closely.
+1 for Daisy

3. Clarity
- No doubt about it, Canon 50mm lens has it! This lens is indeed produces more sharper images than Canon 17-85mm lens.
+1 for Rose.

4. Image Quality
- The higher the ISO is, the more noise it produce. Hence, generating much lower image quality. Therefore, Canon 50mm got this one with ISO 800 compared to Canon 17-85mm lens with ISO 1600.
+1 for Rose.

Score:
Canon 50mm: 3
Canon 17-85mm: 1

As for the verdict, I personally recommend to use the Canon 50mm  or any wide aperture lens you’ve got when you’re planning to shoot at this place.

Good thing about revisiting is that you have the chance to shoot the new ones, and the one you’ve missed.
So here it is folks, let’s start the show with the new ones.

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Yeah! How about this one! A Grunge and Metal in One show! Ladies, Gents, Metal heads, Welcome to the second part of the Shot n’ Roll at The La Mesa Ecopark! Here are some of the creatures that dominates in this park. Just prepare for another 30 bucks so you won’t be left behind at the butterfly hatchin’ place.

Victimized, but you’re in bed
Stumble out, and run dead
If it ever paid, to self start
Enviroment, make you smart

Just another victim…

Just Another Victim

Poor butterfly, she’s in the hands of doom. I’ve titled this one Just Another Victim by Helmet and House of Pain.

Five fingers crawl
Around your neck
The more you live
The more they take

Five Finger Crawl

Rule #1: Don’t be amazed by its color. Not all colorful is beautiful. Let me tell you something… The trees that surrounds the butterfly hatchin’ place is filled with caterpillar, so you better watch your back man! I’ve titled this one Five Finger Crawl from American Rock Band Danzig. Rocks! \m/

I got a wiggle stick, momma
And you’ll like it a lot

Wiggle Stick

Have you ever seen a walking stick? Yes probably… But have you ever seen a 14-16 inch walking stick in your whole damn life? I don’t think so, but if you’ve seen one, give me a hell yeah! No tricks, no edits, this is the real one baby! Come and visit this park to see it for your self. This walking stick is beyond imagination. I’ve titled this one Wiggle Stick by American rockabilly and psychobilly band Reverend Horton Heat.

I lived alone
my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

The Number Of The Beast

A lone snake that’s also caged in a rage. They say that this snake is very poisonous, well I say this snake has a number undefined! I’ve titled this one The Number Of The Beast from a power metal band Iron Maiden! Rocks!

Watch out and wait for the third and last part of  Shot n’ Roll at The La Mesa Ecopark. To be continued… \m/

Perfect Day by Collective Soul

A Perfect Day for doing outdoor activities. This man was just one of those kite fliers and kite boarders who are hanging around at the MOA open grounds in the afternoon. Perfect Activity for a Perfect Day!

Sunshower by Chris Cornell

This shot n’ roll was taken at the MOA Bay Area, late afternoon while waiting for sunset. Too bad there’s no sunset at all, coz after an hour of waiting, the rain silently enters and starts to crush the party. Sunshower by Chris Cornell… Very nice song!
