You-know-who: Have you watched Taken? What do you think about it? It's awesomefest!! For me, at least :)
I haven't, but oh my God, the trailer is epic! I'm going to download it right now! Thank you for sharing!!! :D

You-know-who: I remember when you were trying to send us your photos. Where are they? Haha! :)
Oh, I was able to send them to the post office already! Finally! After ten years! Hahaha

Abby: Hi Cristy. I'm in your blog links. :P I have a question: Do you work with .RAW files? I have a 1000D as well if you may remember, and whenever I upload them and work on them in Photoshop, I always use the JPEG files. The reason being I don't know how to work with .RAW yet. Why is it better working with .RAW than JPEG? I've read a couple of articles on it but I never seem to understand. Thanks for your help.
Hi Abby! I haven't worked with RAW files yet. Well, I tried shooting in RAW before but I wasn't able to open the files because I didn't have the required software. Choosing which format is better to use depends on one's photographic needs & goals. RAW may be tedious and time-consuming, but one advantage is that it gives you complete control over your images. If memory capacity is not an issue to you and if you like spending hours twiddling your images, then RAW could be for you. On the other hand, if you don't have much time, if memory capacity is an issue, if you shoot hundreds of images at a time, then stick with JPEG. Ultimately, just ask yourself what your goals are as a photographer and decide from there. Hope I was able to help! Haha. Good luck. :)

badoodledoo: do you experience lag with your 1000D? ..cause with nikon, i experience it a lot. :[ ..like when ..naka focus na and everything tapos pag click mo.. di siya mag cclick/magttake ng shot. gets? :)) haha
Yes, sometimes. But I think it's just my camera trying to meter and auto-focus. To avoid that, you can try setting the focus and exposure first by pressing the shutter halfway down and fully pressing it when the right moment has come. :)
