Thank you, Vic, for the membership. I couldn't see anywhere to post an intro. so I thought I'd do it here with an odd rag bag of pics. I chose the image server because of the large thumbnails and wouldn't invite anyone without a pop-up blocker to click on them - it's not an attempt at spamming, it's just that any decent image server tends to ban me.
The sari-sari store or "tindahan" in the Philippines, is the local equivalent of the corner shop in the UK - if such things still exist?!

Shortly after take-off from NAIA on an evening flight to Bangkok. I was caught by surprise with this beautiful clear air view of Manila... Normally, it is either too cloudy or two hazy to be worth even trying to get a decent aerial photo of Manila... So, yes, a big surprise and a mad rush to get my cellphone out!!
i waited till about 10pm when it got rlly dark where i was camping and went out to the lake. all the campers had theyre lights on so i put the shutter speed on my camera on 100% control so i can have control over how long i want it to be exposed..i think the setting is called bulb...yea that..then i held the button and went crazy with my camera moving it all different directions
