I saw this on the way back to the hotel; It really looks nice and serene, too bad I can’t remember the name of this resort, it is a bit far from the main island of Boracay, so if anyone knows the name of this resort just let me know 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC @59mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/100 | ISO 1600 Post process: Single exposure processed in ACR (fill light, recovery, vibrance) Dodging and burning […]
Another shot from the Crystal Cove Island in Boracay. By the way, there are no crystals that can be found on this island. The original name of the island is Tigwatian Island, the owners of the island were enthralled with the crystal clear waters inside the caves. Hence, they named the resort Crystal Cove Island.

The beauty of sunsets is just mesmerizing. Especially when you are in the sea, chilling out, relaxing and forgetting the busy life back in the city (Dubai). Again, taken from the great beach of Boracay.

This place is just so relaxing, everywhere you look, it is just beautiful. Maybe I just got used to Dubai’s buildings and deserts, it’s nice to have vacations like this once in a while.

This is inside the crystal cove island towards the caves. I was not so happy with the lens flare but I guess it’s not that bad.

Another shot from Crystal Cove Island in Boracay. I wish I own this house, it would be cool to wake up and watch the sunrise and the sunsets sitting on that porch 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f8 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: 3 exposure digital blending (DRI) Curves adjustments to balance out the exposure Dodging and burning Cheers! /Mike
Taken from Crystal Cove in Boracay. I decided to go late afternoon since there’s no people around which is good if you want to capture some nice shots of the place.

It’s been a long time since my last post, that is because I’m on my annual vacation 🙂 This was taken in front of our house in the Philippines. On this picture is my brother Richmond. This is a very impromptu shoot, no planning, no concepts; we just thought of having a fun shoot and went for it. I didn’t bring any lighting gear with me, this was just a 580exii speedlite with a white bond paper tied to it […]
