TRAVELING WITH A CAMERA SERIES: Exploring Corregidor
Pre-trip lecture: May 19 (6 p.m.-9 p.m.)
Actual photo shoot: May 22-23 (6 a.m. assembly)
Join us on our next stop for the Traveling with a Camera series: Corregidor. Its ruins have been photographed countless times, and this photography trip hopes to provide fresh perspectives in capturing these subjects. As a culminating activity, an exhibit, featuring the best photographs from the trip, will be mounted at The Alcove photo gallery of the Filipinas Heritage Library.
Located at the entrance of Manila Bay, Corregidor is a tadpole-shaped island. It is a remnant of a volcano called Corregidor Caldera. Before it became an important island fortress during the Second World War, Corregidor was a small fishing village. Today, the island is a popular tourist spot and historical site, commemorating the heroism of Filipino and American soldiers who bravely held their ground during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.
To help each participant take arresting travel photographs, the workshop will discuss such topics as composition, design elements, lighting, and camera settings. But prior to the actual shoot, a pre-trip workshop will be conducted, covering the following topics:
Researching the trip
Composing the photograph for visual impact
Producing technically correct images
Caring for the camera while traveling
Keeping the images for posterity sake
During the trip, participants will be shooting alongside the speaker-photographe r. Additional tips on the aesthetic and technical aspects of travel photography will be given.
Requirements
Digital camera, preferably SLR
Basic knowledge of photography
Venue
The pre-trip lecture will be at the Filipinas Heritage Library, Makati Avenue, Ayala Triangle, Makati City (across from The Peninsula Manila). Assembly for the trip will be at the Sun Cruises ferry terminal, CCP Bay Terminal A, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City (near Harbour Square).
