Belmonte Underpass

At the time these photos were taken, there was a photo exhibit commemorating the 69th founding anniversary of Quezon CIty.

Quezon Monument in the Evening

Again, most of the pics are in bunches of three, and the black and white pics are high-contrast.

I didn't use a tripod so I compensated for possible camera shake by jacking up the ISO speed and kept the aperture value at around 4.0 or 4.5 in order to keep shutter speed "fast". Unfortunately, camera shake still occurred.

Another thing: I forgot to use the noise-reduction mechanism of the camera, so the shots that were taken with ISO 1600 were very grainy upon closer inspection.

Quezon Monument in Daytime

Mostly high-contrast black and white shots of the Quezon monument.

The time the photos were taken ranged from 3pm to 5:30pm. Skies were cloudy.

A lot of shots of the same angle come in threes which show varying degrees of exposure (normal, underexposure, overexposure).
