Taken from Crystal Cave in Boracay. I decided to go late afternoon since there’s no people around which is good if you want to capture some nice shots of the place.

I took this shot in Boracay, in front of Crystal Cave Island. We had a boat ride and went island hopping. I took this on the way back to the hotel and I saw this nice golden sunset and it’s a sin not to capture it. Anyway, time really flies, in a few days, I’ll be back to work!

It’s been a long time since my last post, that is because I’m on my annual vacation
This was taken in front of our house in the Philippines. On this picture is my brother Richmond. This is a very impromptu shoot, no planning, no concepts; we just thought of having a fun shoot and went for it. I didn’t bring any lighting gear with me, this was just a 580exii speedlite with a white bond paper tied to it and voice activated human light stand
Strobist:
580exii + typewriting paper
above camera left @ 1/8 power
Trigger: Canon 7D’s transmitter
Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC
Settings: f3.5 | 1/250 | ISO 200

This kind of light happens right after the sunset; the sky will have blue and orange mixed and it creates this wonderful color of light. The sky last like this for only 5 minutes and after that, its gone.

This was taken on the way to Hatta Pools (although we never reached there). This is outskirts of the desert, really dry and full of twigs. I found this cut tree and I thought it convey something interesting. Anyway, I took 3 shots and this was the one I like best.

When I saw this picture, I really want to go in there and sit while watching the sun rise…. This was taken at Fujairah; Oh I can’t wait for my vacation! Which is due next week! Most probably I won’t be able to post for 2 weeks but after that, I’ll have tons of pictures to share.

Taken in the Hatta Desert. This part is quite rocky, I went here with my friend Jason and Nino and find something to shoot. Again, removing the colors and purely working with mono tones.

This was taken in Hatta – Oman Road… I wanted to experiment with black and white, recently I don’t feel like processing in color. BTW, I just got myself a new LCD monitor an HP LP3065 30″ Wide color gamut monitor and it is huuuuge! Probably, my eyes is getting tired too much color in this massive display
