After buying our friend's DSLR last month we were only able to try it out yesterday when we went to Paco park for a quick test and very first photo shoot.
Being new to DSLR requires of course a little patience especially when you're about to go manual. Well, in our case we needed just little adjustments since we're slightly familiar with manual settings because we've been using Canon SX200IS for quite some time already.
Some of the major adjustments we took notice of are:
1) looking through the viewfinder instead of using live view
2) adjusting the zoom lens while getting the proper focus at the same time
It's a great feeling owning a DSLR. Personally, I felt like I'm on a different level than others. hahaha.. I'm not boasting just "feeling" =).. The feel of it on one's hand is very different from a point-and-shoot camera.
The place is small but with good landscape. With the old-structured walls and big trees everywhere add to that the small shrine for GOMBURZA and Jose Rizal, this place is indeed a good place for beginners like us.
So after a hard sweating afternoon and trial and error session we came up with these shots.
As you can see there is still so much for us to learn. More practice and photo shoot sessions may do the work but for now we'll just enjoy this great 1st time experience.
More photo shoots to come!!!
