Playing With Lights At Naval


I was busy watching TV one evening at Naval when the electricity went off. Another night of boring brown out. I was all alone at our old house so I decided to just go out and check if there are common friends outside. I was watching all the vehicles lighting up the street and that's when I realize to play with the vehicle lights that night. Took my camera and the tripod my sister lend me and went to our terrace and try to check a perfect spot for my subject. I've seen a lot of photos before about streets with lights flashing on it from the vehicles passing. I was so amazed about it so I decided to create my own version of this shot. After making sure that my camera is safe from falling to the ground, I then set the camera's aperture and shutter speed. I am a very big fan of "Auto Mode" in my camera but there are times that I use "Manual Mode" in photo shoot. I set the camera to f6 / 60sec. and then waited. After a few tries, I have now my finished product.

Cebu City Cathedral


After the Sto. NiƱo tour, I went to the nearby church which is the Cebu City Cathedral Church (I forgot its real name, I'm sorry). Anyway, I was really happy when I got there because everything seems to be perfect. The sky is very friendly and the lights of the church are very dramatic. Really had fun taking pictures of the church. Because of its beauty, people are starting to make it a park and at the same time, a lover's lane. Tsk tsk. Them guys should show respect to the place.

60KPH at SRP

Somewhere in SRP, Cebu, there's a place where travellers can take a rest and enjoy the panoramic view of Cebu Gulf. I went to that place after the Fort San Pedro shoot. Took some rest and still trying to play my camera. I don't know if we can consider this as a good urban shot or its just an ordinary picture. Well, anyway, I like this photo and I am sharing it to you.

Sunset at Cebu Expressway


I don't really know what's the name of the place but its the expressway of Cebu going to Talisay City, I think. I'm not really certain. But yeah, that's the place where I took this photo. I was waiting for the sunset but it was hiding of those clouds so got nothing else to do but to just shoot and shoot.

Magellan's Cross

This is one of the famous landmark in Cebu City. The Magellan's Cross is located at the back of Sto. Nino Cathedral and at the front of the Cebu City Hall. I went there alone and was guided by my navigator. Good thing my phone's navigator is very accurate. Nothing's different in the cross today and the cross on the first time I visited it because we were told before that this cross grows taller and taller each year but I think its just an urban legend. I had a hard time taking this picture because there's a lot of tourist during my visit. Devotee around the area are selling candles for you to pray to the cross.

Mactan Bridge I

I have a friend from Davao who is currently working here in Cebu. We met once because I'd like to show him my new toy and also, to ask some advice from him about the basics of photography. His name is Raymund or others call him Bon, owner of RabPhotography. Raymund is a good friend of mine way back in Davao and he taught me a lot of things when it comes to computer, photography and other stuff. I asked him once if where are the good spots here in Cebu to take pictures, he advised me to try the Mactan Bridge. I went to Mactan Bridge and took some shots of it. The image above has been cropped to remove some unnecessary objects in the picture. This is the Mactan Bridge I and I never thought that Mactan Bridge II is way better than the I. Mactan Bridge II has a park beside it when I cross it on my way to Naval. Well, next time I'll try to go there and take some shot of the Mactan Bridge II.

Street Lamp at MOA

This street lamp was taken at the back of Mall Of Asia. It was one tiring afternoon when I decided to go to MOA to unwind. I went there all by myself and carried my phone with me, as always. The thing that I like the most in MOA is the view at the back. There's like a park and playgrounds for kids. During night time, bars are starting to cater people. I used my phone when I took this photo, the noise are so visible. Tsk tsk.

Divisoria Today

Divisoria is one of the famous places in Manila. It is one of the busiest commercial area in the Metro. People goes to Divisoria because they are selling cheap items compared to those items you see in the mall. Of course, the problem is that all the items being sold here are immitations. The quality that you get is equal to the amount that you paid for an item that you buy. Divisoria is also known to be the den of thieves. This is one major problem when you shop at Divisoria. You will have to take care of your belongings because even earrings are being grabbed in your ears. I think the Government of Manila must do something about it. They should double the security in Divisoria because people continue to patronize the products sold here. The more people visit Divisoria, the more thieves will be present in the area. 

Before, when I first visit divisoria, the place was so crowded the it is really hard for you to walk in the middle of the street or even at the sidewalk. The stalls are being placed in the middle of the streets that's why when I visit it again with my cousin last month, there was really a big difference. The jeepneys can pass through the C.M. Recto street now and stalls are being placed on the sidewalk. The place is not too crowded anymore but I think it is only seasonal. It is more busier during Christmas Season and during School Season.

Rizal Park

Me and my cousin paid visit to one of our Aunt in Rizal Province one day. My Aunt ask us if we would want to go visit the National Museum. Due to curiosity, I agreed to the plan and we went there one sunny afternoon. After the tour at the Museum, we went to the nearby park, the Luneta Park. At first, it wasn't really a good idea for me since I don't really like going there. But for the sake of not spoiling the day, I oblige to my Aunt's decision to go there. Well, it wasn't really bad at all. You see people having picnics and kids playing. Some are flying kites and tourists are taking pictures here and there. I took this photo at the right corner of the park. We were standing there because it started raining. From a sunny afternoon to a rainy afternoon, the weather shifted so fast. I had a great time with my family though. That's the sense of going to the Luneta Park, spending a quality time with your family.

Gate Lamp

This gate lamp was taken from my Aunt's house in Rizal Province. I never really had any idea how to capture it in its correct angle. But yet again, I got this result and I think this one is beautiful. Maybe my amazement to lights indulge me in taking this picture.
