i mentioned in my previous post that i joined a photography competition called sony digital imaging challenge. overall, there are four tasks that the we need to complete. the first challenge was to take a long exposure shot on a desert landscape using only a tripod and the sony a55 camera. the shot submitted must be unretouched and we are not allowed to post-process the image. in this photo, i used a two-minute exposure and the lighted tent as the subject.

i never tried star trails before until i joined a recent photography competition. we were given certain cameras and the first challenge was taking photographs on a low-light desert landscape. while waiting for my “competition” gear to expose the scene on the north, i tried my personal cam facing south.
there are ways of taking star trails and you can find them all over the internet. the most common are single exposure shot and set of short exposures for stacking. i used the latter since light pollution caused by big cities was strong. south was the only direction with less glow and took a lot of 30-sec exposures and later combined it using a specialised software such as startax.

balikbayan box is a corrugated box containing any number of small items from food, clothing, toiletries, toys or whatever it fits in. it is sent by expat filipinos to their homeland as pasalubong (presents) to their family usually before christmas. this documentary took us three days to cover from wrapping the boxes with countless packaging tapes, filling up with items and to pick-up of the freight forwarders from our place.
