Title: Pagsanjan
Post by: rpmdrd on November 25, 2011, 05:35:50 AM
Pagsanjan (pronounced 'Pag-sang-han'), is a town in Laguna which is a two hour drive from Manila the capital of the Philippines.

This is my mother's town and we come here occassionally to celebrate holidays with relatives and friends.

It has been a while since my last visit and it was a perfect time to test out some cameras.

All Saints and All Souls day are celebrated by most Filipinos which many are Catholics. I visited the cemetery to visit grandparents who had already laid to rest.

Hazy it is! Some might pay a mint for that camera. Any idea where the haze has come from? Aged coating, or general grubbiness? Skj.

skorj, actually selling it here locally and no one has yet to have interest on it. haha.! the effect might have some appeal to others. 

not entirely sure where it started, might be condensation but i havent' tested it again to verify. might be grubiness as we bought it untested. i'll put a roll again and see if some cleaning would improve the lens.
