Life In A Snapshot

I have always been curious about how I would look like in an equestrian costume. This sport of riding a horse artistically is not at all that common in the Philippines, although I know Mikee Coquanco, one of the Philippines’ actresses play the sport. It’s amazing how they trained those horses are!

I cannot imagine playing the sport, though. For starters, I don’t even know how to ride a horse, let alone ride it skillfully. But I have to admit that those breeches intrigue me. I want to try it on whenever I have a chance! And oh, I would also love to learn how to ride horses. I think it would be exciting.

BTW, I scanned my photo files and saw this old photo of me trying horseback riding in Eden Nature Park years ago. It’s not my first time to ride a horse but I am scared and nervous as a first timer!

Some of the biggest advantages of going digital for photographers rely on having a computer close by — and that works great for photo shoots close to home. But what about photography in remote locations? Laptops are heavy, bulky and have a short battery life. What digital photographers need is an iPad 2.

How iPad Helps Photographers

So, how does the iPad help improve and assist in a photographer’s craft? Let’s count the ways:

· Portability. The iPad 2 weighs less than a pound and a half, and measures a mere 0.34 inches in thickness, making it a great device for tucking into a camera bag or backpack when out on a photography trip.

· Battery life. Batteries in the iPad 2 model last ten hours per charge, so there’s no need to worry when you travel away from convenient electric sockets.
