Cebu City – Morpheus

Nothing beats a good view, especially when most of your working day is spent facing a computer screen! It gives you solace amid the hectic job, deadlines, and deliverables.

Luckily, our office has a window that faces west and north of Cebu City (the office is located in the downtown area of Parian) so I have good view of the hills in city, Ayala, SM, Mandaue, the mushrooming infrastructures and anything in between. It helps that we have a Canon EOS 40D with 200mm zoom lens in the office to help me spot interesting shots (although not that much resolution and power as a refracting telescope) as well as take a look at the developing Cebu City skyline. Plus, being on the 4th floor of the building also adds a good vantage point of the skyline as well as people passing by Lopez Jaena Street.

So, anyway here are some shots that I took:

I recently received a very special gift from my elder sister’s father-in-law from Belgium, Dirk, which I really didn’t expect. He gave me his trusted Nikon D80 with an 18-135mm kit lens that he’d been using for years on his trips around the world (lucky me). Hmm. Just what I need to get into digital photography.

In this blog, I will be posting my journey into digital photography, starting from scratch, pouring over books on photography, and watching countless Youtube videos on digital photography. I will also share my experiences and learnings on digital photography as I progress and improve in this craft.

Here are some of my shots t(I’ve chosen these photos since I started barely two months ago) that can be a basis of comparison in the future whether or not I made some progress.
