Power Your Passion With The EOS 7D

   It was November 10,2009. While I'm reviewing my lesson in T.L.E. that I should be concentrated in my study when a Reader's Digest appeare under my notebook and cough my attention from my mother's room when I saw and read this article on my mother's bedroom. The Reader's digest issued last October 2009, as I read it: 

Power Your Passion With The EOS 7D. Your artistic vision matches your passion. You live and breathe photography. Now there's a camera made for you. The new Canon EOS 7D uses cutting-edge technology to enhance creativity. Designed for those who weave magic with light, it packs features that put other digital SLR cameras to shame. At its heart is a new 18-megapixel sensor supported by highly accurate, colour-sensing 63-zone segmented metering. Its autofocus is razor-sharp and hypersensitive,

thanks to 19 cross type AF sensors that work selectivity or in group. Two DIGIC 4 processors power the brain of this camera, processing data at such blinding speed that makes 8 frames-per-second shooting possible.

Not surprising, the EOS 7D shows versatility  regardless the subject or situation. Its ISO range of 100 -  12800 makes it usable in any light, while the 1x-magnified viewfinder sports 100% frame coverage to ensure a comfortable, true-to-life view. You can also stand back and let the 3-inch Clear View II LCD do the framing for you - it has Live View capability and the option to record video in full HD at 24fps, 25fps and even 30 fps. All these features and more are contained within a tough, weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis that will go wherever you bring it(or wherever creativity brings you). Made with the best technology to complement  the artistic spirit, the EOS 7D has what it takes to power your passion.   

Miss Blogging

        It was three weeks since I didn't open my blog for a reason,  first it was the death of my uncle After the exam was done I travel to Tacurong City, and arrive at the place before dark. When I finally arrived I greeted our elders and my cousins and other relatives which I have not seen for a long time.  My mother led me to the remains of my uncle and pays my respect. After seeing it my cousins and other relatives have some chitchat and a little update about their respective families until afternoon till dinner was served. We took some photos and other stuff reminiscing the happy moments when my uncle was still alive.

            On the fallowing days, I stayed with my cousin  and also help in the preparation and spend time with my family and no allowance was given by my mother since everything was provided.

            Daily novena and prayers was made for the repose of the soul of my uncle. My cousins and uncle residing abroad arrived. Other relatives from Manila, Lanao del Norte, Davao del Norte and Davao Oriental came also to pay their respect. On November 1 and 2, all saints/souls days we offered mass for the repose of the souls of my late grandparents and uncles and aunt and blessings of their grave at the Shangri-La Memorial Park even though we continue the vigil for my uncle’s wake and .  He was buried on November 7 in the morning at the Shangri-La Memorial Park also. I have not spent any money during the semestral break because everything was provided. There are a lot of foods, different flavors of chocolates, cakes were brought, breads and others.

     It was my cousins and my mother and her siblings who spent for all the expenses incurred during the wake until the last ritual on November 8, 2009. Our old grandmother (my grandmother’s cousin) who did all the rituals after the burial including the prayers. We departed for home after everything has been settled. I did not spend for any fares because I rode with my cousin’s car in going home.

       Vacation like this is the only time that we met with my cousins and relatives. Sometimes we contribute for food and other related expenses.  Sharing each others stories and updates on one’s achievement.  The time for family gatherings and reunion, though sad but we must have to accept it and move on with our lives. We believe that God loves us so much and we thank Him always for all the blessings and graces He has showering to us. We pray that every member of our family will have a good life and have faith in Him always. and second it was our retreat and the last was my rest days.

Wordpress

       Wordpress really naks me off or maybe I'm just starting with my new website for wordpress, it really has lots of settings in it and I can't understand some parts of it how to edit the background (thumbs me down). Just want to experience  another blog website for my photos and photography so that I can share my ideas and thoughts in you. I just can't exist were I will post and put or what link I will click a new entry for my blog.

     It's just that I'm experimenting new site like clicked here and there surf the whole blog to know its proper. (nahh, masasanay din ako.) and their's a time that I'm posting my new blog and edit it --it suddenly hang so I closed it and open a new browser as if I was totally excited to have a new blog at a new site.

                See looks like a big mess to me! okay well it's just like beginning of something new like here in blogspot.com at first I didn't know were I will start and yeah.. I get it into it till I finally know it's settings and posting. Silly me and yes working it now!

Night Falling Sky

          It was DOMNET DACOSULGEN(Davao, Cotabato, iSUlan, Gensan) Cluster Summit 09, a regional DOMENT in mindanao held in our school last October 15-17,2009 and I'm one of the participant join the DOMNET, the presence of the people/students around you feels the enjoyment and happiness of every student from different schools allows to enjoy the happenings.  

The DOMNET Youth Group (DYG) has undertaken various worthwhile projects. These include youth festivals that allow a Dominican student a chance to experience the joy of being a Dominican youth and enable him/her to share his/her talents to others.

During summer, youth camps are held for planning of activities for the school year that will follow. Skills training are done to help prepare the different youth leaders for different task that may be asked from them by DYG or even their schools.

Also, during the holding of the previous camps, declarations and advocacies were formulated whose topics include those on sanctity of life, family, the environment, justice and peace.

Aside from the annual activities that are held, student leaders have been given retreats and recollections, leadership training seminars, symposia, and have participated in various environmental projects such as tree planting and waste segregation.

It also actively engages in outreach activities such as calamity assistance, orphanage and hospice care visit and advocate of the Habitat for Humanity (a build a house program for the homeless).

More importantly, the DOMNET Youth Group was able to build lasting friendship among individuals despite differences in personalities. Great stories have been told and wonderful songs made. But the journey continues

*About the theme

 The theme is more on photography and friendship so I called it and name for AustineMaries Perfection, the passion of taking picture is surely I want and devoted for, with the help of friends they help me to inspire my photos and gave some ideas, the Feet symbolise my dreams and the fact for facing my problems that comes and pass on my  way. ready for the times and struggles that surely gonna surprise me, be brave for what is the flow of my life, we all now that we're not perfect so everybody has or have their own problems only God who can help us and so be it,it's worth while. The Green Grass shows that I love Mother Nature, were nature helps me to relax. dried or the dead ones the grass shows my sorrow even thou you don't my problems in life well it's seems we should understand each other. since its my own feet it's about adventure, love to go any ware where mother nature is also present, adventure is the one that I want and even it's a bit exhausted for other people, for me it's an exercise. 

 So my dreams is not yet finish here it's just the beginning of my battle and find my victory to reach my goals...

Kidapawan's Lake Agco

                  Experience the beauty of nature, lake Agco is now one of the tourist spot in the Philippines in Mindanao it is said to be the Kidapawan's hidden Eden where Mount Apo is also located. It is full mystery, adventure and excitement, experience also the hot spring and cold spring of the resort where in you can relax and enjoy the place with nature. walk trough and hike in-in the water falls, steam bath mud pits and also the cool and amazing steaming and boiling water of Mount Apo.

                            Lake Agco is really awesome. Seeing a small pond of murky but boiling water and felt the hot steam, I was quite scared of going near the lake. It was all natural! I smell sulfur all around; steam and hot water bursting from the ground. Though little bit terrified upon realizing that I was standing at one of the outlet of the volcano, Mount Apo, I still felt excited that time. A small resort was built near Lake Agco. A chilling cold swimming pool is just beside the large “hot bath tub.”

                                      

                                    Okay finish with the historical Lake Agco to tell(haha!!).The fun part, It was the birthday of my sister when we went at Lake Agco, so we woke up early in the morning around 4 am the cold water of Davao city awakes me, a treat from his boyfriend using his car for transportation. it was about an hour driving trough Kidapawan from Davao city, movie marathon in the car and food trip is fun to celebrate a simple birthday like I experience the birthday of my sister(sept 21.09).first time isn't it yeah!! it's like I'm celebrating and enjoying at the same time because i'm having fun with my sister and his boyfriend(were not that close like stick to one heheh!joke!) the three of us go to kidapawan. after an hour again with the rocky road we reach the top in Lake Agco. I was about to amaze when I saw some durian haging from the tree, different kinds of flower that is not seen in the Cities

                                       I was amaze also with the steaming and boiling water of Mount Apo as if you can boil an egg in the water. the water is also very hot. As a photographer you can't hesitate to took some picture and capture the beauty of nature. Water falls also is a great experience in Lake Agco a muddy and rocky way before reaching it, as I remove my slippers coz it's slippery and I say it again muddy, at that time my foot was really hurt with the big rocks that we pass before we reach the falls. mud was already at my foot and feet. one time I slip my self because I was already tired at that moment and carrying my bag and because of my heavy stuff the gravity pulls me down but it's fun and adventurously for me.(enjoy!enjoy!enjoy!...)

                         Oh yeah! It was my first time to see a hot spring and even having a steam bath(Poor me). Anyway, the feeling was really satisfactory! I’ve relaxed away from the city and blend with mother nature. Even we're not able to enjoy the whole day and spend it with haft day of travel and haft day of enjoyment but still I'm satisfied with it. And thanks for my sister and his boyfriend for being with them hanging around and bonding with each other..

miserable

Some how, some where these mind of mine bothers me a lot of misunderstanding and thinking stuff, somehow their are times that we are about to strive our selves for our own good; sacrifice is a big reasons why we keep falling apart I know I do some of it but I realize those things worth mistakable. I've been one of those people says "Single and happy" but through my words, deeds, emotions and action whether I'm laughing and smiling around my friends you just can't see the word HAPPY IN THE SINGLE. undefine feelings isin't it

I know some EMOs are sick of crying in one place, punching those silly walls nothing to do without it, and also laceration. I know what they feel and felt for their love and fight the love they've given but I'm not one of those EMOs punching stupidity and do laceration to mark their love for someone. I just felt the same way people

do.

A Vain is about to start in the action a weak and a hard feelings, finding for something and misses something we can't change it. it's in the flow of the will a will that will surely remarks our self to see how it will flow in our life. some do react some just want to be alone. But? How will I find and place my self in a miserable life? dose it stand for something worth it or worthless? what bothers me the most is where to be happy in place of being a single and defined it to be happy?

I guess so it's in the flow of life and other says "GO WITH THE FLOW" (hahahah!!) yeah! right I should do so, normally and understand the way of life so be it...

Photo Journalism | Flowers

   So as a result of my  photo that I capture inside  of our school campus for our Photo Journalism. It should be more on technology base on the theme that has given been given by our physics teacher but physics is not compose of photography in our lesson it is just base on our Science Math culmination in our school and it is said to be our project in physics. It's unfair for me because I'm just the only one who is working our project the four of us. the tree of my team mate did nothing, they are so lucky to pic me coz I made our project with out the help of them. I'm so mad at that time because all the work and project by group they pick me to make our project but it's so unfair. well I've nothing to do now and because it is already done. 

    

       So try to look and see my photos that I capture hope you like it..It is all Capturing Photos Using Samsung Slim  Slider SGH-G600

It was a headache day for us students at that time due to our examination, exam is already done at the second day. It was our break time when I finish my mathematics examination it was a rush answering for me at that time because I'm running out of time in answer those hard questions, after i submit my test paper to our proctor,we have some Little chitchat in the room and with the proctor. after it, something outside of the room is bothering me and disturb my presence of mind when I saw some of my friends and classmates playing jumping rope.

I rush trough the door and peak if what's happening coz i heard some people giggling and laughing so it bear on my mind that they are having fun.

So as I saw the troupe of silly boys (my mga barkada:some of it)were laughing and enjoying with each other playing jumping ropes doing some exhibitions. How silly there were..^___^ . even if your just sitting their and watching them play. you can't even avoid your self to make laugh at them.

One more thing is the jumping rope, they use a short kind of a vine tree that they saw so it's no actually a rope they use but a vine but it looks like a rope..(LOL)

And as a photographer I caught some in the action were they are having fun in playing the jumping rope. so there you have it i share another expirence of my photography^^,.....

Lost princess

Aug 14, Friday. It was our buwan ng wika and we wear or pilipinia Artair's. when the activity was already done from the St. Catherine's hall in our school the intense heat of the sun make us bored, tired and lazy. while waiting for our food for the kainan sa nayon one of the activities event in buwan ng wika, each classroom should prepare for their own food in kainan sa nayon like fiesta or celebration. Kainan sa nayon is like a group of people needs to prepare a Filipino food dish and delicacies using only your hands in eating in the banana leaf and gather around the table.

While waiting for our food. I took a picture of my friend Michelle were she sits and text ting. She didn't know that i was taking a picture of her Michelle is also a good model, she also join different pageant in Tupi South Cotabato or rubber. so I titled the picture a lost princess which her pilipinia dress matches the theme i made and the feeling or emotion that reflect on the day also the balance of the light is a good effect in the photo.

Lost Princess | Photo by Austine Linggang

First shot:Bonsai.

It was a hot day in our school when our teacher left us in our classroom to fix something in the faculty, some of my classmates was roaming around, some making jokes, chitchat, sound tripping and some were just sleeping. Me? I was one of the students roaming around in the corridor at the second floor building in Mother Francisca building, some class were going on till I recognize this plant in the other section it was a bonsai.

Every classroom were request to bring their own potted plants per group and add score in our homeroom subject. After that time I was bored and nothing to do with, when I saw this plant(bonsai) and experiment it using my Samsung G600 phone camera which also contain 5 Megapixel camera. So this is my first time to take a shot in my photography, some of my friends wondering and ask something if what I am doing and my answer is "nothing" but I'm already taking pictures at that time ^^,. here are my photos of a bonsai:

Capturing Photos Using Samsung Slim Slider SGH-G600 | Photo by: Austine Marie Linggang

Container-grown plants, including trees and many other kinds of plants, have a history stretching back at least to the early times of Egyptian culture.^[2] Pictorial records from around 4000 BC show trees growing in containers cut into rock. Pharaoh Ramesses III donated gardens consisting of potted olives, date palms, and other plants to hundreds of temples. Pre-Common-Era India used container-grown trees for medicine and food.

The word penzai first appeared in writing in China during the Jin Dynasty, in the period 265AD – 420AD.^[3] Over time, the practice developed into new forms in various parts of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. Notably, container-grown trees were popularized in Japan during China's Song Dynasty, a period of cultural growth when the Japanese experienced and adopted their own versions of many Chinese practices. At this time, the term for dwarf potted trees was "the bowl's tree" (鉢の木 hachi-no-ki ^[4]?), denoting the use of a deep pot. The c.1300 rhymed prose essay, Rhymeprose on a Miniature Landscape Garden, by the Japanese Zen monk Kokan Shiren, outlines aesthetic principles for bonsai,bonseki, and garden architecture itself.

-Wikipedia

And indeed it was fun full day for me even it is a bored day for the others ^__^. photography saves my day from being bored to an artistic shot. Taking my first shot is already a good result. The beginning of my new success starts here and that will lead towards my dreams and achieve my goals stand on my own and own it.
