Light Versus Darkness

large aperture value means smaller opening for the light to enter.It resulted on a dim background and a well lit subject
























I took this photo on a broad daylight. My point and shoot camera automatically adjusted the aperture value.It was also shot on macro mode with larger aperture value that resulted on a dim background.

Fallen Beauties

Location: Mabalacat, Pampanga

I took this photo using my camera's macro mode. I love using these feature of my cam. It lets me to capture very small subjects with great details.These are fallen flowers of Narra trees outside our dormitory. They are only a few millimeters in size but they looked larger when captured using macro mode.

This photo was taken during my stay at the men's dormitory 3 of Trust International Paper Corporation in Pampanga. I like this because of the symmetry and lighting. Using Photoscape, I was able to create a creepy image on this one.

A Stormy Day

Location: Snake Island, Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan

One of the highlights of our tour in Palawan was the island hopping at Honda Bay. Together with some other tourist we don't even know, we cross the vast sea just to see the most beautiful places Palawan has to offer. We had our stopover at Snake Island to have our lunch. As we approached midday, the once blue sky turned into a black swirl heading our direction. We immediately packed our things and head for the hotel. Storm clouds and big waves ruined our vacation.:(

 I was able to take photographs before we boarded our boat to the pier. That dark formation of clouds brought heavy downpours that made our trip more dangerous. Luckily, we survived and made it to the hotel safely.

Location: Snake Island, Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan


This photo was taken during our island hopping on Honda Bay. As part of our tour package, we were able to visit some islands on this part of Sulu sea. One of the largest and most beautiful island we visited is the Snake Island. It got it's name from the snake-like sandbars during low-tide and viewed from above.

This girl didn't notice that she's om my lens. What a very beautiful sight to see. It depicts innocence and freedom. A child's world where everyday is just fun and play.
