CAMERA SHY

I was a little hesitant in using an Agfa Vista Plus film at this family's dinner buffet in Vikings at SM Mall of Asia. Although it's still my current favorite film, I was afraid it might saturate the photos knowing the kind of lighting the restaurant has. Surprisingly, the photos turned out fine and much in favor to my liking :)

I was fidgeting like a little girl in my seat because I've been watching people come and go, and waiting to see if there's still a window of opportunity to take some photos around, and of the food of course! I'm still learning and fighting with being conscious when taking photos because people stare, at times. I'd usually make sure I'm not bothering anybody, or no one is looking before I focus and fire away with the shutter. A different take on the adjective, camera shy, perhaps? Seriously, am I alone in this weird thing? :)

Have you sacrificed a great subject just because you were too shy to take the shot? :)

GRAY RAIN

Took the opportunity to snap shots of my brother's racing pigeons while they were out after a rain. This platform outside their birdhouse is their version of a veranda :)

The gloom mood seemed to have blended with their black and gray-colored feathers in contrast to the platform. Love the glassy effect of the water on them :)

BLOOM

It's always refreshing to see when some of the plants my mum keep in our roof bear flowers :) Yes, a little garden in the roof. My mum likes to think she has a green thumb, but because we lack the space for a real garden, she kept and let them grow in our roof. Over time, three pots became five, five became seven, seven became ten. There are probably less than twenty pots in our roof to date :)

I'm really not in particular to the seasons when flowers bloom, but I'm always pleased when they do :)
