A Day with the D60KREW and Sir Rolly Magpayo

Monday, August 24, 2009

Good Morning ladies and germs! I'm about to leave the office now from a very very tiring day. I just came from a photo shoot cum seminar in Paranaque then went straight to work but man it was well worth it. I learned a lot from a master named Rolly Magpayo. My friends from the D60 KREW was eager to learn too and it started what became a very fruitful day. And the models were also awesome!

I would be able to give you a couple of shots but we were not allowed to touch our photos yet. He decided to also teach the raw processing of the photos and create the actual wokflow via a saved action of sharpening by Manny Librodo and a lot of other stuff in photoshop. I have not used things like that yet because I usually sharpen things differently to make things pop via colors and levels of brightness. I saw the results they post processed on the lecture and they were really natural looking. The sharpening were all done in the eyes and minute details of hair, eyebrows, nose and some other things in the background. I guess that is the proper way to do it so maybe I will follow their examples. I would check how it fares with what I do. I was not hurt by the critiques that much because I felt the same about my signatures and photos too. I will have to change them sooner than I think hahaha.

My personal mantra for the day is...

CHANGE MY UGLY SIGNATURE
CHANGE MY UGLY SIGNATURE
CHANGE MY UGLY SIGNATURE

Maybe I would be able to submit raw photos tomorrow and see what happens. Hope the Master likes it otherwise I would not be able to post it. =)

Here are a few shots outside my office which I took yesterday.
