Palawan Series: Honda Bay 6

I’m finally capping off the Palawan series, which I began just after me and my wife’s honeymoon last year, with a post about our Honda Bay (island hopping) tour. You get to visit only 2 islands, really, but the first stop is to a sort of outpost in the middle of the sea where you [...]

Goodbye, 2011 (otherwise known as my obligatory year-end post) 5

“As the Wheel turns, the Ages come and go, each leaving memories that fade to legend, then to myth, and are forgotten by the time that Age comes again. The Pattern of an Age is slightly different each time an Age comes, and each time it is subject to greater change.” – Wheel of Time, [...]

What’s The Story, Morning Glory?* 4

I’ll keep things brief today: I wish I could shoot more landscapes. ————— Taken at Laurel, Batangas Canon 7D + 10-22 | LEE GND 0.6 & 0.9 (stacked) | Generic ND8 *inspired by an eponymous song from Oasis.

Some Scenes from Taal Lake 4

To say I miss shooting landscapes is an understatement. I’ve only been on two trips since July, and I’m getting a bit rusty. Needless to say, I’ve also been keeping an eye out for any interesting subjects besides landscapes when I go out of town so I can maximize the trip. Here are some from [...]

Palawan Series 3: The Puerto Princesa Underground River 2

I think it’s high time to go back to my Palawan series before posting some red carpet sightings from the 3rd PMPC Star Awards for Music. This time around, it’s the iconic Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR), which has been increasingly popular over the years, due to the exposure it’s getting as being part of [...]

A Return to Dingalan 6

As far as my limited experience goes, the shores of Butas na Bato in Dingalan, Aurora has proven to be one of the fiercest and most dynamic I’ve ever seen. But my second visit to the place was a different experience entirely, with the bay strangely serene and calm. There were also very little clouds [...]

Palawan Series: Hibiscus Garden Inn 6

Before I put up more recent pictures, I’d like to go back to the week-long vacation / honeymoon me and missus had in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It’s not difficult to look for a place to stay in Puerto Princesa – being one of the prime tourist destinations in the country, Puerto Princesa is littered with [...]

Where to Eat in Palawan: Ka Lui 6

Let me begin a series about me and the wife’s trip to Palawan with Ka Lui, probably THE most popular restaurant in Puerto Princesa City, capital of Palawan. Located along Rizal Ave., the city’s main thoroughfare, the restaurant is owned by the eponymous Ka Lui, a former tour guide who put up the establishment a [...]

Sunset at Payong Point 6

Well, it’s good to be back. Had to be away for a while due to some personal affairs that I had to handle, but here’s something to start the ball rolling – some images from Payong Point, Nasugbu, Batangas. Lines in the Sea Walking to the Sun Night Parking I hope to be able to [...]

Failed Caliraya Sunrise 4

Just something quick since I have quite a lot of on my plate right now. Overcast sky, rainy weather, fear of wading into the water for a better shot (which I should have done). Almost didn’t get to shoot. Anyway, better luck next time. Jut Risen
