Exactly 1 year when I posted on this blog...

and link thru my page. ( re arranging my brain).

still adding some pages....hhmmmm? what do you think?

DUBAI SKYDIVING 2011

The event is Dubai International Parachuting & Gulf Cup 2011 located right on the south side of the base of the Palm Jumeira, between the Dubai Marina and JBR (Jumeriah Beach Residence), the entrance to the dropzone is off Al Sufouh Rd. behind the Habtoor Grand Hotel.

I just knew this event only last week thru my friend...photo contest - they are giving thousand of dollars as a prize (nakakalula) . But yesterday morning (last day of competition) the weather is not good...wind and sandstorm covers the whole city...but later I realized na...sayang din ang event minsan lang ito at first time so...I decided to pack my gears at around 12 noon.

Camera: Nikon D300

Lens for VR: 4.5mm Fish Eye Sigma Lens

Lens for PJ: 18-250mm Wide-Telephoto Lens

Stabilizer: Manfrotto Tripod & Panoramic Head

Others: Photographers Vest & Hat, Knee Pad and my MEDIA ID.

I reached the venue site at 1:30 pm and it took me 10 minutes to reach the drop zone 'coz sobrang layo ng parking...,I also bumped my oppps friends who shoot the event since 8:30am (grabe...pinakyaw lahat).

At the Media Office (this the first thing you have to look...as in para kang mag a-attendance sa teacher mo)....I introduce myself as a Freelance Photojournalists and ask where i can get a Media Pass...They just tell me to log in my name and give them my business card..."don't have right now ...i just left it to my wallet at car parking"...and the officer look at me and said ...hmmm ok...yess... i know you...i always see you...and quickly he gave me MEDIA PASS ID.... (or else cameras not allowed again).

Photos below are my submission for photo contest (i will not tell you which one), my photo submission to sports magazine & newspaper, for 360cities Google Earth and for microstocks....Enjoy!!!

OPPPS New Location

OPPPS moved at Bigger & Better Location

When they posted the enrollment schedule and new location...

I browsed my VR Images files and yess!!!...
I have 10 VR Images of this mosque and New Oppps Training Center...(rented) location.

I immediately uploaded my image to Google Earth to share with my friends
(light d life photo club) and also to new DP Trainees....
(mahirap kayang maligaw at makipag-away sa taxi driver)...

I sent a message to sir milo tores (oppps pres.) to confirm that my
VR (Virtual Reality) Image is same as Oppps New Training Center...
the response is....of course...... "YES...iyan yun".

On VR Image below I add little information for you to
understand the orientation of the location.

Enjoy...
