Ozine Fest Retro 2025 (day 2)

Christmas Photoshoot by Angel Bunaoski

Finally got to use the Lensbabies again for a proper photoshoot, but this was also the last time for The Scout. Fortunately, the Sweet 35 optic that it contained was still okay, but I'll now have to swap optics instead of simply switching between The Scout and Composer Pro II since Lensbaby no longer sells the former.

CameraHaus Photolympics 2025

This event was somewhat reminiscent of Canon's Photomarathon with the multiple locations, but the notable difference is that this year's Photolympics was held concurrently at Manila, Baguio, Iloilo, and Cagayan de Oro (Canon typically holds them on separate days).

Cosplay Mania 2025 (day 3)

First time I got to use my DIY flash projector at a con in SMX.

The location wasn't ideal, but I did learn a couple of lessons about controlling light spill.

Social media's great and all, but meeting people again IRL is nice too.

Tested my old signature technique (i.e. monopod + flash), but with twist: power zoom since this was done with a compact camera (Canon PowerShot V1) instead of the usual mirrorless camera which required 2 hands to change the focal length of the zoom lens.

Stoked a little more than usual since I spotted another photographer using my older signature technique of sorts (flash + monopod).

Not my best setup, but I had a blast on this day because of the less orthodox camera angles that I got to shoot again.
