Fujifilm X-T30 Experience and Test in Cavinti, Laguna

The Mirrorless Revolution by Fujifilm continues as they released the latest on their XT Lineup. Following the trail blazed by the Fujifilm XT-3, comes the Fujifilm X-T30.

We got invited to an exclusive event where we got to experience the Fujifilm X-T30 at a SECRET location and this is that story.

As we’ve arrived at the secret location(A glamping spot in Laguna), we were given a review unit and a lens of our choice. I chose the 23mm f/2.0 and later on I got to borrow sir Ted Claudio’s 50-140mm f/2.8.

We were briefed by Experience Philippines who partnered with Fujifilm Philippines for this event. (Photo Taken with the X-T30)

A Quick Photo walk at SM MOA by the Bay with a Sony and Fujifilm shooter

After attending a lunch event at Spiral Manila, I was with Ted Claudio and Aaron Nomo and we decided to go to SM MOA to do some photo walk at the bay side area. We are teasing Aaron because he acquired recently a brand new Sony A7s camera, and we invited him to join us in a quick photo walk, while Ted in other hand is excited to use his friend's Fujifilm X100, because the camera is so perfect for street photography and then as for me, Im still using my old Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm kit lens, I want to shoot more using the DSLR because I got so rusty in photography after doing a 2 year vlog for my Youtube channel.





I was not planning to shoot with my camera and I was with them in MOA just to wait for the food in my tummy to settle down and try that new drink at Starbucks.

But I got the energy to bring out my DSLR and shoot side by side with them.
So here are my shots captured at the SM MOA by the bay.





So what do you think of my shots?
Hmmm I guess I should shoot more and do more practice

7th Philippine International Pyromusical Competiton (Feb 13, 2016 Coverage–Philippines and Portugal)

The 1st leg of the 2016 Pyromusical competition started last Feb 13, 2016, It’s a bit weird that they no longer organize a pyromusical show every Valentines Day, I remember in their previous events that they always start the show and competition every festivities of Valentines Day, but I think it’s a good idea that they stayed away from the festivity, because some of us wants to celebrate Valentines in our home or have a date somewhere, and if ever they schedule it for Feb 14, I have a big feeling that I wont be able to watch the pyromusical show, because I’ll be at home for our Valentines dinner.
