Oriental Mindoro | Beach Rockies From Puerto Galera

ORIENTAL MINDORO | Beach Rockies From Puerto Galera 

Long Exposure Sunrise Photos

These are some of the first photographs I have taken with my new Neutral Density (ND) Filter. Though it had been a couple of weeks since I started lugging it in my camera bag, demanding its own space being a specialized filter. My verdict is, that the ND filter lived up to its purpose and I love it.

Photography | 15 Portraits Of Children

PHOTOGRAPHY | 15 Portraits Of Children
A Collection Of Local Children's Photo

When you finally go back to your old hometown, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood. 

-Sam Ewing

It's a prerequisite that when you like to travel, you are opening yourself for the opportunity of meeting people, especially the locality in your destination. In the short time I've been around, I've met quite a few, though I had never intended to take photos of local people especially children, it's a constant opportunity that presents itself at a regular basis. I don't get to capture the most endearing moments at all times, but when I do, it send ripples to my well being. Photographing children is not easy, capturing moments that showcase their vulnerability, innocence and sweet honesty reflected in their eyes. These following photographs are a collection of photos from various locations, mostly done with just a quick snap from my camera, photos of children as they were at home, in their playground or in their environment.

Mindoro | Beach Sunset

MINDORO | Puerto Galera Sunset

The Hunt For A Scenic Sunset

One thing I like about having trips in the beaches is to witness how it looks like during sunset hours. As for Puerto Galera white beach, it's always a quick weekend trip from people who lives and works in Metro Manila. being that its easily accessible from Batangas Pier. My first trip here was during the first team building with my co-workers almost 5 years ago. On my first time, I was surprise that Mindoro is keeping a place like this one. And the first experience of Puerto Galera sunset was spent swimming in its cool waters and watching people enjoying the walk on the beach. Its a nice change from working on a corporate office.

Photowalk | Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera 

A Beach Photowalk

I'm a frequent visitor to Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. That much is certain considering the numbers of photos I've collected of the place. Most of the pictures where kind of personal, and as I learned through photography and being a photo enthusiast, I begin to appreciate capturing images of other people instead of just my own. I feel like becoming a paparazzi only that I prefer taking pictures of strangers who's unaware that I'm trying to capture their image. Here's my take on Puerto Galera beach scene.
