house at sea

Pandanon island, Bohol.
A house actually beside the sea.

patch of sand

Pandanon island, Bohol
This was taken around 4:30pm, I took a picture of one of the sandbars because it was low tide; the sun was covered by clouds and we were headed home.

sunlight bridge

Cloud 9, Siargao Island
The sun was setting down when I took a picture of it on a bridge.

jump ship

Pilar, Siargao
A group of kids were diving and jumping off the ship just to have dun while the boat was still at port to unload the fishes that they've caught. I took a picture of them since I was staying at a house nearby. The sun was setting down which was really nice as it added to the effect.

and they were all yellow

As I was uploading this picture, I suddenly sang Coldplay's "Yellow" --> yeah, yeah, corny. hehe.

green and white

Palmas Del Mar, Bacolod City

Since I couldn't take better pictures of the view of the place, I just took photos of smaller things.

sunset ship

Pilar, Siargao
Was waiting for the sun to set since it was our last day in Siargao. A ship was near as they were unloading I believe, fishes in the nearby town.

plum or purple?

I had a hard time trying to choose a title for this shot. I don't know what shade of purple this is, or is it even a shade of pink. Wait, this should be purple. I shouldn't be color blind. hehe.

sand and green

Still in Pandanon island, Bohol
This is an island with a long stretch of sand, especially during low tide.

kickin' it

Santiago Bay Resort, Camotes
Two people from my team before, I told to jump and just do whatever they want.

header/banner for edsnaps

I'm planning to put this as a banner for this photoblog. But I'm thinking it's too big and too over-the-top. We'll see, maybe I'll make another.

going fishing

Still at the back of the house of the place we were staying in Siargao.

lanterns

Lahug, Cebu
We just finished eating at a restaurant called Pino! (was treated for free! hehe) when we took pictures outside the place.

silence

Pilar, Siargao
I like the calmness of the place. This was taken at the back of the place we were staying for a week. It was nice cause the sun was already hiding and the water was serene.

earth and water

Cloud 9, Siargao Island
The sun was getting ready to set, and we were ready to head to our cottage to rest.

white flowers

Palmas del Mar, Bacolod
Plumeria also known as calachuchi in our language. This was taken in Palmas del Mar, Bacolod. Well, with these types of photos, it might as well have been taken anywhere.

a thought

I don't know how many times I've regretted not being able to bring a camera whenever I'm at a particular place when everything seemed nice to capture. That's why people would generously lend me they're cameras for me to delightedly take pictures of the events or outings we would go to, because they'd want to be on the pictures themselves, of course.

For those who are not inclined to photography, they would have a hard time understanding why I would suddenly get excited over a certain scene or location that we would visit. It's sometimes my vision of getting that perfect shot. All I know is you have to be at the right place at the right time... FAST! Also, my idea of a getting that perfect picture would be picking the best shot over a number of attempts. Basically, I'm not that good in this craft; I'm still in the process of learning.

Some people may ask if I've edited the pictures I've posted in this site. Simple answer: YES. I've slightly enhanced some images in order to also practice and learn how to edit them. So, I apologize to the people who think I'm a purist when it comes to my snapshots. I use an Olympus SW790 and here's the reason why I bought it. Just click on this link.

Hopefully, people will still like the pictures that I take, as I want to reach out to more people and learn while at it. If you do have any plans of posting my pictures for whichever benefit, please do ask for permission first. Aside from practicing courtesy, you can earn some respect.

Peace out!
