my world under the lens ( updated: July 20th)

[tarebear]

hi y'all!

it seems everyone's been inspired to put up their own photo threads, so what's one more right?

i have always loved pictures (me preferably behind the lens) and ever since i had my own camera, i just find myself snapping anything and everything in sight!

i have never thought of making a photo thread, but looking at the others' wonderful pictures, i just got inspired to show you guys what i've got, too.

so, without further ado, here is my life captured by the lens.

this one's a picture taken in one of the busy streets of Lucban when we went to the Pahiyas Festival* last year.

*Lucban celebrates the Pahiyas Festival every May 15 in honor of its patron saint, St. Isidore the Farmer. This festival showcases a street of houses which are designed with fruits, vegetable and kiping, a rice-made decoration, which afterwards can be eaten raw. The houses are judged and the best one is proclaimed the winner. --source: wikipedia





my friend, cherry, her trusty umbrella one rainy afternoon.





one of my favorite japanese dishes, california maki, with the souvenir umbrella from a valentine dinner date with friends from work.[/center]


okay, that'll be my first batch of pictures for now... hope you enjoyed a glimpse of "my world."

'til next time!

oh btw, there is a theme to those set of pictures... can anyone guess?

later!

Those are some really good photos. I liked the one of the festival.

Is the theme umbrellas? there seems to be some in all the pictures.

[Emms]

Yay! Ces! I am so happy that you started a pic thread!! I love them! You are a really good photographer. My favorite is the one of your friend with her umbrella...it's so artistic. I love how she and the umbrella are off center...that really shows your artistic eye for composition.

Love them all. I can't wait to see more!

I think it's so cool that everyone's starting a photo thread. And everyone has such different styles and themes...

umbrellas << whats the price that we won a hug?

I like the one with your friend it's like a big secret what's behind the umbrella you know.

ces

[tarebear]

i saw this scene while we were walking by and i just had to snap a picture




this was when we went to a nearby theme park, enchanted kingdom.[/center]



i think it's obvious what the theme in these pictures are.

later

[Spighy]

Well, of course the theme is obvious... it's water




Sowwie Boss, couldn't resist
I love all the pics you posted so far, Ces, especially because we get to see different places from all around the world. It's one of the many great qualities of the Kitten Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

Love the swan photos.

Wow, your phone takes great photos.! I'm jealous! Guess it's time to get a new phone.

[oneyedchicklet]

Ces,
Great photos. My favorite is the food dish. I haven't figured out why yet. Maybe because I'm very ascentric when it comes to photographs. I'd really like to see more.
I've really started things going here...haven't I? *snickers*

HUGS

It's swan..it's swan... it's swan *singing loud* I'm getting an other hug.

Cesssss...amazing Cess these are great. Black swans are so not easy to find. I have seen one or two in real. I like that picture... I know what your going to say it's a zoo...but still they are black swans.

[tarebear]

some replies:


pouty!-- right on the money val! :-P

i'm glad you like the pictures i've posted so far... more to come soon promise!

delwhicker! -- hey there! welcome! well, my phone cam is not too shabby i gotta say, but a digital camera is still the best. my phone cam is 1.3 megapixel btw.

barb! -- you've definitely started a trend... a wonderful trend that is! i'm glad you like the picture i did with the maki... i love that picture as well. hope you enjoy my next batch of

themed pictures.

hennnnny! -- you get double hugs for guessing right! black swans are definitely neat... twas my first time seeing one in person as well.




my next batch of pictures coming up shortly. thanks again for everyone's wonderful feedback!

later!

[tarebear]

okay guys! so here are my new batch of pictures:


[center]

i was so afraid he will wake up and chomp my arm out while i was stretching out my arms to get a better picture of his slumber.






i was walking home and i see my kitty taking a little cat nap outside.






i knew it was bad of me to take a picture of my co-worker at his errrrr most vulnerable... but looking at the picture, how can you not, right? he just laughed it off later on.... don't worry, he wasn't drooling... much! hehe!






poor guy! he must have been real beat falling asleep in the middle of a theme park no less![/center]



okay, you know the drill... guess the theme and win lots of prizes.... okay there's no prize really but i give great hugs!


later!

[Emms]

Oooo more photos! Ces, I love them. Since you always seem to have a theme to the shots you post I was sitting here trying to figure out what it was this time. At first I thought it was cats, but then I got to the picture of your co-worker asleep at the helm and I was momentarily confused...and then I thought his name might have been "Kitty" or something clever like that...it took me a moment to really "get" that "sleeping" was what you were going for here. and then I felt silly.

I love the other set of photos as well--with the swans. The one of the swan boats really drew me in...the composition and everything else is really wonderful. It's all about timing and must take a lot of skill to get a shot like that because you don't have control over the boaters...it's not like you can shout out across the water and get them to paddle wherever you want them.

anyway...sorry...my feedback seems sort of lame today.

xoxo

[DelWhicker]

Nice pics, even with the cell phone. I'm definitely going to look for a new camera. Yes, I agree, nothing beats a good digital camera.

I'm guessing the theme would be cat-napping. Am I right?? Am I?? Ok, technically, the two guys aren't cats, but they are cat-napping.

[SJ]

Great pics.

[DreamLover]

I like Tiger one and Tiger two...yeah yeah I know it's a kitty...kinda a Tiger....I love Tigers...I wonder why? Do you know why Cess?

It's so an other hug...or ?

Henny

[tarebear]

i finally get the chance to post more pictures! yey! but first some replies...

emmsy! so it took you a while to figure out the theme eh? i gotta make it easier next time then

thanks for posting and i never think your posts are lame.

del hiya! you're right about the theme about napping... in the 70's though, aren't guys sometimes called cats too?

SJ i'm glad you liked the photos.

henny! i had no idea you liked tigers!

you don't have to make right guesses to get a hug from me henny!

again, thank you all.

i will be posting my new pictures shortly.



ces

[Thianne]

[petal of roses]

Hiya Ces

As I already told you yesterday, really beautiful flower pics. Kudos to your mom for taking good care of her garden.

Hope to see more pictures soon

Take care

[DreamLover]

PS I'm not going to say what the topic is...so someone els can win a hug

[tarebear]

[center]



[/center]

it's really obvious what the theme here is LOL... anyways, here are again pictures taken in our garden.


enjoy!

[petal of roses]

WOW Ces, really wonderful pictures especially the rose with the water drops. I don't think I ever saw a rose with a pink/orange colour. And no wonder the picture didn't want to be resized.

Well............I'm guessing the theme this time is pink/orange flowers and am I right

Once again you and especially your mom must be so proud of the garden.

And to answer your question, yes please

Thanks Ces

[DreamLover]

How come that you are first Rosey????

I love the rose....sigh roses are my thing....and a few other things


Thanks Ces
