Trying it out...

Yesterday, I had a shooting spree using the digital camera my good aunt handed down to me. It's a Canon Digital Ixus. Despite its age (the very first release in the series, I believe), I am very happy to find out that it takes good photos. :D

Having always been fascinated with sunsets, I thought it appropriate to have this as my first subject. I immediately started my short trek to the beach from my place to catch the beautiful sunset Saipan has to offer.

And I'm not disappointed. The first photo you see here is the first shot I took. It would have been nice if the man getting ready to fish is not there. But on second thought, I think it perfectly depicted how island-life is.

Looking farther left, I took this shot where the outlines of Tinian (second-largest island) can be seen on the horizon. I rather think this photo is lovely: tranquil waters with pink, white, and blue colors in the sky.

I then decided to go to a different spot, and on my way there I saw this Flame Tree in full bloom. It's really unfortunate that I don't have a digicam when Saipan held the annual Flame Tree Festival last April. There were lots of food, and local girls danced their version of hula dancing.


When I reached the spot I liked, the sun has already set. And then, the battery gave up on me and the shots I took were not that nice. (I think. :D) If any of you are interested to see the shots I managed to take, I had it all uploaded in my Yahoo Photo Album.

I guess that's it for now. It's really nice to finally have the time and create a Blog that I've been thinking of doing for a long time. Ciao! ^_^
