Camer Cart Rental thinks this is cool: Photography Day at Hamilio Coast Nasugbu

Yeah, we know that it's the middle of September, and the rain's acting up. But that doesn't have to mean that we hide inside our blankets, and put the camera gear inside the ol' bag. Why not try this for size? Head out to Hamilio Coast this September 26 for a photography day! Shoot with the Canon Club EOS photographers and they'll be happy to give you some photography tips.
