I managed to test “Godox” (my cheap slave flash) last Saturday during a Christmas party with my high school batchmates (Lagro High School Batch 8?), and boy it was a blast!
I have seldom used it since I bought it 3 months ago on Ebay and I’m also not at ease in shooting portraits, not to mention its an evening event which make it more harder bcoz I really need to tweak my camera “FudGee” (Fujifilm Finepix S1800) in this situation for them to shine-on on their photos. But to tell you honestly, I really enjoy the shooting spree with my batchmates that night, and obviously so are they haha!
My shooting that evening was spontaneous as all of them are more than willing to strike a pose. I made more than 200 shots that night and its more than enough to say that this Godox is a bang-for-buck slave flash. Just imagine I just normally shoots around 30 – 50 shots during a strenous photowalk with my camera club haha! It just proves that I did enjoy my shooting that night. I feel like a pro strobist with their compliments!
Or maybe my alcohol intake significantly added more passion to my shooting that night haha! 
Yipeee! I’m in 3rd place finally!!!! Its actually my first time being third at dpreview and I’m really very happy, although there’s regret that I missed 2nd place by two points only (3,464 and 3,646 points). Nevertheless, I’m still proud of my photo being on 3rd place out of 71 entries at the “Portrait shot using HDR” Photo Challenge at dpreview.com.
This again was a milestone for us point and shoot users, specially my club at PnSers.com! It just proves that its not the camera but the photographer! Or the tagline of our camera club, we say “its not the bow, its the Indian!
Some comment I have received from this photo is that he looks like Moses with a tablet on his hand. I haven’t thought of that, but hey, he sure do look like Moses. 
Kudos to all my friends and colleagues for their votes, and for inspiring me to shoot more quality photos! Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat! And lastly, thanks to the old man at Quezon Memorial Circle for letting me capture his portrait. Hope to see him again and thank him personally.

Last October 1, 2011 was a big day for several officers and members of PCC (PnSers Camera Club). As we joined for the first time the famous “Scott Kelby’s Annual World Wide Photowalk”, which I think its now on its 3rd year.
So basically, what is a photowalk? Well, according to Scott Kelby’s worldwidephotowalk website.
It’s a social photography event where photographers get together (usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town) to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.
Photowalkers from different countries, cities and location from around the world would simultaneously go for a photowalk on October 1 and 2, 2011, and we (PCC) opt to registered for the Quezon City (Memorial Circle) photowalk, with Sir Tilak Hettige as our Walk Leader. I think we’re about 40 photography hobbyist that day. With PCC being the largest delegation.
Participants are then are invited to join the photo contest and submit their best shot for that day. Leaders would then pick one, and that one will get the chance to be chosen as Scott Kelby’s Grand Winner for the year.
Hoping a PCC member shines on this contest 
p.s. as you can see my bike “BIKO” is included in the group shot lol!
