Food Photography is known in creating that perfect shot to make your food look real good and which also requires lots of money and resources to make it work.

Being a foodie and a photographer, I love looking at food menus but I usually get disappointed after being excited over a very enticing food photo of my order then getting something that really looks different.  Too commercialized food photos can sometimes be deceiving and can make customers unhappy. 

On The Spot Food Photography by shotnroll

But with On The Spot Food Photography by shotnroll, they have this concept of shooting on the spot before eating the food. Basically, you just have to prepare your food the normal way (how you present it to your customers) and they will shoot it right there with the available resources.

With few resources on hand and the shoot then eat concept, choosing On The Spot Food Photography by shotnroll can work well with your budget.  At the same time achieving great food shots that can promote good appetite and make your customers happy.

On The Spot Food Photography by shotnroll is into shooting your food as served and creating the best shot making it look real, artistic, and appealing.

Eats Asia 2 at the Fort

Eats Asia is a celebration of culinary favorites from some of the world’s favorite destinations. Different food & demo stations were put up representing some Asian countries like Japan, Thailand, China, Persia, Vietnam and Philippines.

Culinary Schools booth

As soon as we arrived in the venue, we started sampling food from top culinary schools like GCIC, CSB-HRIM, ISCAHM, CCA and a lot more. Popular restaurants were also present like Red Kimono, Binalot, The Coffee Beanery, Kopiroti, Bee Cheng Hiang, and more. Having a VIP pass, we were entitled to free lunch and snack from Tamayo’s catering and Juan Carlo. Yumyum!

Manila Ocean Park started operations since March 2008 but it was just recently that I went to visit this place. Before I thought, Manila Ocean Park was just for kids, but after my visit, I guess I was wrong because I really enjoyed my trip.

The Oceanarium at Manila Ocean Park

This summer 2010, visiting Manila Ocean Park is more favorable because they have their latest attraction which is the Acquatica Show. We availed their newest promo package – Moonlight Adventure at 500php per head. Ticket includes the Oceanarium (originally priced @ 400php) and Acquatica Show (I think priced @ 300php).

Manila Ocean Park's Acquatica Show

The Oceanarium is a showcase of different sea creatures; you can find the usual fishes like clown fish, sting ray, sharks as well as the extraordinary ones like garden eel, stone fish, lipstick fish, bloated fish and many more. Main attraction in Oceanarium is the open aquarium wherein you can see  the fishes swim above you or on your sides. This creates a feeling of being underwater and swimming with the fishes without you being wet and killed by sharks. Haha.

Maiden of the Sea

But what amazed and entertained me most is the Acquatica Show entitled Maiden of the Sea. This is a show of lights, sounds, and fireworks coordination with added live performers on stage. The first time I saw this kind of show was in Singapore and it was entitled Songs of the Sea. Good thing we have this now here in Manila Ocean Park, there’s no need to go to Singapore to get this kind of entertainment.

Maiden of the Sea 2

Here are few shots of some highlights of the show. I really loved it! For first timers, you will really be awed and just say WOW! This Acquatica show has a story, which I must admit not able to fully understand it because I was so mesmerized and focused on the effects of the water, lights, and sound.  Hehehe.

Maiden of the Sea 3

By the way, show starts at 6.30pm and upon entrance disposable raincoats are distributed for water protection. But you won’t really get totally wet while watching the show. Visit now Manila Ocean Park and get entertained in spectacular water, lights, and sound Acquatica Show. See You!
