Perception Radar

Hi, I'm Carlo Tan! I live in the Philippines, currently studying in University of the Philippines, Manila. Development Studies major. This blog is where I post my photographs, and my ideas and perceptions on how the world runs. Hope you enjoy!

What type of photography equipment do you use?

Hi! I use a Nikon D90. For macro photography I use a 50 mm with a Raynox macro converter lens. I use my 50 mm for portraits too. For landscape shots, I use 18-105 mm. :)

"Treasure box, treasured" 

I finally found my voice, sweetness.

It’s a simple box but it’s very important to me. :) 

I used my sister’s lamp that she uses for studying to give emphasis on the patterns.

"Drops from Heaven"

Since it’s still raining, I decided to practice macro photography on droplets of waters that are retained on leaves of plants in front of our house. It was a challenge, mainly because all of my macro photos were taken without a tripod, another is because it’s windy outside which makes focusing much much harder. 

I enjoy macro-photography because it takes time to capture and understand the small things (just like in life), and to be able to appreciate and see them closer is an achievement (just like in life too).

"Cute Visitor"

Saw this kitten in front of my house while I was taking photos.

"Rainy Monday? Shoot!" 

A day well spent with Shoot UPM, unfortunately, these are the only photos that I have.

"Producers of the World"

It's been a long time since I used my macro clip on lens.

Plus, this is the first time I ever watermarked my photos (yay!)

Friends and their vanity

First time I ever posted something about my friends. Cheers! 

I'll post more once I get to take pictures of them :)

Mamiya 645E | My Aunt gave this to me, she found it hidden on her closet.

I'll check if it still works. I really want to use film cams, it makes you better.
