Chasing Light

[EdwinM]

I have been always fascinated with the playgrounds of Ansel Adams and most of the F64 club namely elliot porter and the likes. So when I had the chance to visit the place it was a dream come true.

Here are some of my takes of Yosemite National Park, unfortunately it was the near end of winter which didnt demoralized me as I love the mist of melting snow on early sunrise.

And the sunsets were just as spectacular...

Some recent shots around the Philippines...


Catanduanes, an island battered by storms as it sit at the most eastern part of the Philippines, first to get the morning light and first to feel the might of the Pacific.





Laiya, Batangas - seating in the West, one of the best dive seat proximate to Manila, capital city.





Thanks for looking.

A Northern Light

This was taken in the far North of the Philippine Islands, Ilocos. A grotto in the middle of ocean to guide the souls lost in this coast from huge waves.

More...

A failed sunrise in Dingalan, Aurora...we settled in shooting the glorious mountain ranges of Sierra Madre, Philippines. The sun was rising fast as a young boy fishes for what I think is for breakfast. This is a single shot using a reverse grad with a minimum aperture to get the sun burst. It was a blessed day to capture such a beautiful sight.

BLESSED DAY
