7th Philippine Bird Festival

I only got a few decent shots from the other roll during day 1 of the Philippine Bird Festival.

I actually really still wish they had actual birds, maybe even just a few. Or even just one.

Anyway, i visited them again for day 2 with a new roll loaded in my camera.

I realize my shots didn't really satisfy me, even for point and shoot level.

The most interesting thing i saw was the body painting exhibit or competition.

There were some really talented artists involved in it. Wasn't able to stay until the exhibition

but i could see there were some pretty good paintings done.

A lot of these pictures have horrible focus but i'll share them anyway.

Used Fujicolor YKL 100.

I had my first roll developed for my Canon AF35 ML. It's a point and shoot film camera. I used a Fujicolor YKL 100 film. I was both impressed and disappointed but more on disappointed.

Out of 36 shots, i got about 27 only, about half of which are out of focus. And then i read more reviews about the camera and my hunches were confirmed. It had a weakness on the battery compartment. It tends to become loose over time. Another weakness is the focusing system. Sometimes it fails to focus but when it does it's also really sharp. The 1.9 opening lens is one of the fastest there is in a compact camera.

But for those shots that were well exposed, i was very happy, especially because i finally saw some of that good film grain i'm looking for.

I went to a bird festival today, it was held at the West quadrangle of Silliman University. Some booths were set up featuring exhibits from different people featuring different bird trivia. I was disappointed to see that there were no actual birds. :(

The rest of the photos, they weren't exposed properly
