Last year was my first Walk with Mary in celebration for the Sinulog festival. Now was my first Walk with Jesus, to kickoff the Sinulog activities for 2012. The Philippines being a majorly Catholic population and the veneration of Cebuanos to the child Jesus, once again the procession was packed with thousands of people.
I am a frustrated photographer and with my NEX camera I set off to the streets and skywalks to capture the visually stunning crowds of people flooding the streets, following the "carosa" of the Sto. Nino. In the still dark sky, it is like watching a river of light - visually impressive!
My NEX camera come only with its kit lens, I can't yet afford a much better lens which can handle low light scenarios. I tried my best to capture the moment. Though I only got a handful of "ok" shots out of I think a hundred I took, I was nevertheless satisfied. To compare though, I was able to have better throughput last year compared this year. It is either my standards have gotten up or I dont know how to use my camera or there is something wrong with my camera (though I hope not because I can't yet afford to buy a new one).
When the procession ended at the Minore Basilica del Sto. Nino, I just stayed outside the church as it is very packed inside the basilica square and inside the church. It rained and poured and I was thankful I did not get wet. I did not finish the mass since the sermon of the priest took a long time and my legs hurt.
Viva Pit Senior! Sinulog is festive, I like to dance with the beat!
