Spunjer · 29th July 2007, 05:20 AM

mare, great idea! i'll try that experiment. should be interesting. battara, do you think the jawi is tausug or sama, and is it possible that it could be an oraciones?

Mare's idea ia a good one.

Ron, what is the meaning of "oraciones"?

Battara · 29th July 2007, 07:59 PM

"oraciones" is a like a talismanic prayer.

Spunjer, not sure, though would not be surprised if it were Tausug. Yes I think it would more likely be an oracion and then if not, a Qur'anic quote.

im gonna borrow my sis's camera. and try this one more time.

oraciones = kinda like abracadabra. what battara said.

OK Ron, i'm intrigue. You really have to let me have a crack at this baby before winter. I know you are busy with work, but how about next weekend?

In the meantime, can you give me a few technical details.
So, you shot this on a tripod, right? What were the camera settings, i.e. ISO, shutter speed and aperture? What is the light source and at what time of day?
So if i am able to take a sharp picture of this kris does that mean it wants to come live with me?

Spunjer,
I have an offer you can't refuse for the anting-anting kris.
Remember the Katipunan flag?
