Rough Groove

A brief Flickr meet

It was only last year since I was able to join a series of Flickr Cebu-Sugbo photoshoots and meets so last Sunday night, to ward off boredom, I met with B2y and Wantet at around 2200H at Fuente. We planned to do some night shooting and we then headed for the M Fernan Bridge in Mactan. I’ve been there before during a previous shoot but it was still good to do some photography there. Of course, I got photos of the bridges but the surrounding houses at the water’s edge were also beautiful.

Another and bigger photo can be viewed at Binary Silver.

stepping down as admin

I stepped down two week ago as one of the admins of the Philippines Flickr Group due to some irreconcilable differences with one of the remaining 4 admins there. It all started with this thread. The first time it happened wherein the same firemouthed admin sort of bossed around one of the members in this thread, I just shut up without doing anything about it and ever since, I was ashamed of it. This time, it happened again with Nullend_void‘s (his photoblog here) innocent posting in the group. This came about when during a Flickr Philippines meet for the planned photoexhibit this January, they were having a hard time coming up with a name for the group. The reaction of the concerned admin is just way off and another member, usclabdog, reacted to the comment of the admin. Unfortunately a few posts later, usclabdog was unceremoniously banned without justification or due process. I asked this admin about it and he just replied “read more.”

Geotagging in Flickr

Well, with nothing much to do here at home in Cebu, I spent my time geotagging my photos in Flickr.
