Trying out Bokeh

Just brought out an old Olympus OM-10 film camera. Had it CLA'd along with its 50mm f1.8 prime lens. By this time, I've heard so much about bokeh, I wanted to try it out. And I fell in love with it. From here on, I would always be bringing my Stylus and the OM-10 whenever there's going to be a chance to shoot.

Pagsanjan Falls Laguna team outing

En route to Pagsanjan. 
 
At the resort a few hundred meters downtream from the falls, this is the downstream view...
 
...and this is the upstream view.
 
Our bangkero...
 
...in action.
 
I saw this dragonfly (I think that's what it is) on the way to the Falls.
 
The famous Pagsanjan Falls. We got to ride a raft through the Falls and into a cave under it. One of the Koreans that were with us kept saying something that sounded like she was praying that we don't go under. She shouldn't have worried, the water in the cave was only about 4 feet deep.
 
The boats we road on.
 
Tired feet!
 
Some landscape pictures I was able to take on our way home.
 
 
 

Moon and evening clouds

 
A nightshot of the moon. Well, its the clouds that makes this photo a bit interesting really.

Spider on the curtains!!!

 
 
Man I hate spiders! I hate anything that can crawl on you while you sleep! But the budding photographer in me wanted to take pictures of this thing before it crawls away (or die, if I get enough courage to snuff it out). So I setup my tripod and shoot it remote from a distance. Later on, since it wasn't moving, I started playing with the settings of our lowly Olympus Stylus 300 (exp, whibal, etc.). All in all, I stayed with this crawler for around half an hour. Ahh, the effect of photography on me. I'm now sure I can face any immobile spider from a distance and behind a camera!
