Capture The Colour

I thought it would be easy finding the photos I need for this contest since I have  tons of photos to look at. But when I started looking and choosing, my oh my! I almost gave up and scratch the idea! But for the love of Gracie who tagged me when she joined the contest hosted by travelsupermarket.com, I went ahead and took it as a challenge to come up with an idea.  Reading Joanne's post about this also inspired me to do this at least for fun!  Note that the contest is already done and winners have been drawn.

The first problem was, there were too many photos to choose from.  I always fell asleep while choosing the photos being played through the slide show.  The next problem was the concept.  I had a lot of considerations one of which is to use the colors of my race singlet from my running alter ego.   Finally, I settled on two choices.  My Cebu’s Sinulog and Iloilo’s Dnagyang Festival photos from my January 2012 adventure.   However,  I was torn on which festival photos should I use.  Then I thought “why not use the photos from both festivals?”  I just labeled the photos through watermark to identify from which festivals they were taken from.

So here’s my share for the “Capture the Colour” fun.  I call them my street shots taken from my ever-reliable digicam in the streets of Cebu and Iloilo during the Sinulog and Dinagyang 2012 Festivals.  Just help me out on the color for I’m a bit torn on what particular color should I tag these photos with.  It would be fun to hear your comments on what color label the photos should belong.

THANK YOU Gracie for tagging me!  I had real fun doing this post and more so, I ‘m finally done with my “zero back tag” campaign that I started this month.  I have replied to all the posts where my fellow bloggers tagged me and my blogs! Yey!

      THANKS Gracie! and thanks for tagging me too I enjoyed doing this post :) Eto na siguro ang pinakamaraming pics na post sa blog na eto. kasi may (silent) rule ako sa site nato na limited pics lang hi hi hi

      You really should try this. You can map Kalibo/Ati-Atihan, Cebu/Sinulog & Iloilo/Dnagyang in one January. Parang ang dali ng sinasabi ko no? hi hi hi

    grabeh! na inspired naman akong gumamit ng digicam pix ko. nahihiya kasi ako kasi karamihan sa blogger dlsr photos talaga. kaya yun humihingi nalang ako sa mga friends ko. kakahiya kasi gamitin yung digicam photos ko.

    mas gusto ko yung kuha mo sa dinagyang festival;-)

    just me,

    ha ha THANKS! Hindi kasi ako fan ng dlsr because of the size and weight. I feel that it will just get in the way of my hyper-active life. Unlike with digicam, I can just hang it in my neck or stuff in my purse anytime ;) point & shoot then voila!

    What I did is to master my digicam and we became best friends to each other ;) I call myself a "professional digicam user" ha ha

    Thanks for passing by. I've been to your blog and it looks great!

      hahaha. kaso diko bestfriend yung kodak ko. pero chox nah. para yun sa isa kong blog. kasi di yun travel. para sa mga cofee all random things lang. pero don sa travel kogusto ko crips yung kuha para mas ma appreciate. tama ka din don sa weight ng dslr. parang magkaka scoliosis ako sa bigat

    2. Balut The Lucky BloggerOctober 13, 2012 at 7:21 AM

      yep primarily it's the weight & the size talaga. I won't be able to fully utilize it because of my running blog. hindi ako makakatakbo ng maayos pag may nakasabit na dlsr sa batok ko lol.

      and also, I always consider myself that I'm more of a blogger and a runner, not a photographer ;)
