Creepy Shot.

Supposedly I was going out to take some pictures of the Perseids meteor shower .

That is why I even borrowed a nice digital camera (an EOS 350D/Rebel XT) from a friend.

Yet, as I was driving out of the city, I stopt on the way a few times, to test the equipment (I should have asked for the camera before, so I could better learn how to use it, instead of a few hours before dark).

This is one creepy shot I took.
 

It is a 30 seconds shot on ISO 1600.
I keep thinking about coming back to shoot it on ISO 100, however I need a better (steadier) tripod, as my hand on bulb will shake the one I have.

Once in Gamboa, I had the “opportunity” to enrich my folklore with even more creepy stories from the locals.

I have no idea how would I react if the white dress lady suddenly takes a ride with my on that dark road back to the city. [I did not see her tonight].


Other shots for the night.

Fortune messages.

Last night, as I was pulling out a credit card from my wallet, a fortune message slided out.

 
.


These two I picked up in a restaurant in LA Chinatown (where I stayed for two nights).
I had forgotten I still had them in my wallet.
It was such a simple thing, yet it stamped a smile on my face. I felt happy.

Then as I handled the card to the cashier, she screamed “discount”, I asked why, and she said BancoUno cards get 15% discount. Now I feel lucky.

Life is good.
