Taken from Al Aqah Fujairah. This was my first shot just before the sunrise. I like the cold and relax feel of it. Makes me want to go back in there. If it was not 2 hours away, I would like to visit this place more frequently.

A very rare case that I woke up early for a shoot 🙂 My photo buddy Eugene invited me to shoot in Fujairah, which is a 2-hour drive from Dubai. I have to wake up at 3:30am which is usually the time I go to sleep… Anyway, this is one of few times I can use my BW ND1000 and it’s really nice to spend time with nature.

Taken from Boracay; This is Crystal Cove Island, really nice place to chill and photograph. I really miss this place now… This is the first DRI that I did using my Wacom Intuos 4, it is surprisingly very accurate compared to the previous one I’m using. It took me some time to go into details, but I think its worth it. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f7.1 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: Exposure Blending using […]
This was taken right after breakfast; Still not a lot of people around. It was the time of the year when thunderstorms come quite frequently.

I took this shot in Boracay, in front of Crystal Cove Island. We had a boat ride and went island hopping. I took this on the way back to the hotel and I saw this nice golden sunset and it’s a sin not to capture it. Anyway, time really flies, in a few days, I’ll be back to work!

When I saw this picture, I really want to go in there and sit while watching the sun rise….
