Beautiful Sunset Overlooking South China Sea

By on January 23, 2017

The welcome sight to watch the sunset as it descends in the horizon although it was a cliff side, it offers the best chance to watch it. The rugged slopes down there with a beautiful and clean manicured landscape was just a short walk from our area where we are staying. Adding to the overwhelming impact are the presence of 2 palm trees in between that makes the sunset more memorable.

This is not the only place, we’ve got more than one, more beautiful spots to capture the sunset. The beauty of nature and location adds more life into. Photos featured here rightfully deserved to be published.

Thanks God! I’ve found my travelling companion very useful ( my camera) whatever the situation climbing up and down the slopes without complaining. Next posts, you’ll see my sunset gallery, what makes my collection of sunset photos special aside from being taken on my own? It’s the memorable experience I’ve got from visiting beautiful places to shoot with no fashion trends but looking cool and chillaxed with crazy sneakers and rugged get-up!

Hands in the form of a heart-shaped with the background View of the Beautiful Sunset

By on January 1, 2017

This is something creative to close off on all sides with your hands the background view of the beautiful sunset. Generated by the sunset reflections stating a subjective feeling, heart-shaped hands symbolizes the love for the sunset. One thing you need to know, to express using your hands is a formative action of love. Sometimes, your hands can express more than your words.

This picture taken by me and photo shows the hands are unbalanced to one side and the enclosure of the sunset is not firmly accurate, sunset must always be at the center. The good thing, its the right moment to photograph the beauty of the sunset, you can see inside the radiant reflections out there and one thing, the viewing frame is very close to the subject, a bit distance would have been better, a failed attempt to perfection He he heh

Red Rose of China-Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis

By on November 25, 2016

What a gloomy feeling but these morning starters, Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis flowers will cheer me up. Since it’s a common flower around that we see it everyday and every time  around the corner that its simply boring, the only way to be appreciated is to make the shots beautiful. I captured these flowers while doing my daily jogging at Capitol Commons, I was about to finish my last round but in between quick stop to snap the flower. That’s a bit distraction, Whew! It’s good I brought with me my iPhone, just a right time to snap also the bumble bees and the butterflies.

Another quick snapshot of Monarch butterfly done today. It appeared just after the rainfall and here it goes! The wings widely spread-out. Thanks God! it seems she’s showing the color pattern of her wings. The shiny black colorful pattern, this is a bad warning to any predators as it is said to be poisonous! The position, you can easily identify what kind of butterfly is this.

Heavy Crop of Beautiful Flowers

By on October 10, 2016

Bearing a heavy crop of beautiful flowers in clusters sometimes, carrying many flowers on one stem alone, these flowering plants live in a dry climate however, manage to survive even during rainy season. This is a good example of plants that can easily adopt themselves to the climate and a  good specimen for beautification.

Summer growth flowers are produced abundantly as shown here that’s why I’m closing close track of the flowers thinking that when flowering ends, seeds are being released and ready to be collected. The next step is to dry the seeds for a week or two and plant them, one month after, it will give lushness of the surroundings.

Seagulls/ Egrets/ King Fishers

By on October 4, 2016

Intensely social and inspiring to watch some seagulls, egrets and king fishers, all fish-eating -birds making a dive racing downward and dipping their bills to catch a fish. For the birds eating fish, Manila Bay is a good and wide feeding ground here in the city proper. I’m just wondering, where is their nesting site?

I’m not only a bird watcher, I’m here to take snapshots for the water birds but clouds getting thicker and dark clouds filled the blue sky as afternoon rain is about to come in minutes. I can smell the bay water, the blizzard sound of wave as the wind blew cold. It was almost like a night as thunder roared so load came with the rain. If only I can fly and wheel like a bird, would be joining the group diving and enjoying the rain..

The Best Viewpoint of Rizal Monument

By on September 7, 2016

The monument was constructed made of bronze and granite (1912) by Swiss Sculptor Richard Kissling. The Philippine National Hero Monument is the most photographed and visited monument. Taken at Rizal Park, Luneta Manila August 1,2016.

Dr. Jose Rizal Monument 1913

From the best viewpoint must be at  frontal view but I’ve spotted something unpleasant upon taking few snapshots, the building behind the monument at the right side (Torre De Manila) is completely ruining the landmark itself. To compare 2 photos taken at the same scene and the same subject. Of course I want it to come out at its best to achieve a good result.

Check the photos from above and below, you can spot the difference . My problem here is on how to hide the building behind it? Nevermind about some amount of controversy about the construction of the building, it was already there. Here’s I’m pointing the best location and convenient position to get a good viewpoint, different position at the same scene.

From the first photo above, thriving on such photography challenge, I’ve avoided to snap it in front,  getting to the right side with a bit distance will give a good result even though taken at dusk and you can see the black clouds at the background.

To get the precise effect I’ve been looking for, sooner, I get back to the same location at different time of the day to shoot again.  Whew ! Right time of the day simply offers more stunning scenes and photographic opportunities.
