Life In A Snapshot

It’s been weeks since I last went out to shoot for Sky Watch. So I am sharing another photo taken last month in Samal Island, particularly in Canibad Beach. Earlier that morning, the sky over this island is overcast but rain clouds disappeared after a while. So when we arrived at this part of the island, it was flaming HOT! The sky is blue with some cloud formation and I was under the Noni tree when taking this photo. 

Happy Sky Watch everybody! Join hundreds of Sky Watchers here.

My favorite scenes…beaches and skies. Here’s another one taken on our way to Dumaguete City on board a seacraft. The resort (I am not sure though but it seems like a resort) is part of Lilo-an, a town in southern part of Cebu.

Happy weekend! Visit Sky Watch’s home for more photos.

Hubby had the chance to shoot in Dumaguete City. I guess the mountain range is part of Mt. Talinis (Cuernos de Negros or Horns of Negros), a potentially active volcano in Negros Oriental. When I first saw this photo, the clouds seems like a volcanic smoke to me. But hubby confirmed that they are clouds. Only the warm color of sunset made it look like a a smoke.

This is BIG LIGID. An island owned by a known family here in Davao City. It is one of the best dive sites in the area. 

After hours of travel from Canibad, a beach where we had our lunch last Sunday, we finally saw BIG LIGID. Behind that island is a smaller one they call SMALL LIGID. Thanks to the wonderful weather that we have that day. See the very calm sea….as if we’re in a lake, and the beautiful blue sky with some fluffy clouds at the distance. Who would think that a typhoon hit the region 2 days before the travel and we’re under storm signal number 1 with such fine weather?

Happy Sky Watch everybody! Join the fun here. 

I’ve been a sunrise and sunset watcher since my childhood years. Unluckily, we don’t have a camera to capture those beautiful moments. Now when we went home to Kabacan, Cotabato last week, I prayed for a beautiful sunrise and sunset. Though afternoons are always wet during our stay, last Sunday afternoon was a great one. While we were waiting for dinner at our cousin’s house to celebrate his son’s birthday in advance (yes, in advance because Biboy’s birthday is Nov. 3), I noticed the reddish clouds in the sky after the sun has gone down and asked my sister Carol to accompany me at the end of the block facing the ricefield so that there would be no obstructions in the photo but she said “no” thinking that it is not safe to go there. Thus, I’m contained at taking photos in the front yard of my cousin’s place. The moon is quite visible but too tiny in the photo that you wouldn’t notice it as a moon at first glance. 

Hope you are enjoying Sky Watch! Visit here for more sky photos.

Land trip to the southern part of Cebu is very eye satisfying with the old churches of almost every town at the right and the beautiful seaside scenery on the left. We intentionally positioned ourselves in the driver’s side in the bus to have a glimpse of the coastal scenes like this one. The reflection of the bus’ glass window is disturbing but I could not think of ways to avoid it aside from the circular polarizer that I have put in the lens. Whatever it looked, it is still a beautiful photo with the sweeping clouds higher in the sky and the cottony cloud formations in the distance. 

Happy Sky Watch everybody! Take a peek in here to see more sky photos.

This is a piece of sky on our way to Dumaguete City. We are on board a seacraft from the island of Cebu  going to the island of Negros Oriental. The piece of land we could see is the northern part of Negros Oriental. We intentionally chose to sit at the right side of the seacraft so we could see this beautiful view.

This was taken the other day at Davao Crocodile Park. It was petting time with some of the animals in the park when this was taken. Ella, my niece is calling on his Tito Ace to take her photo holding a Phyton and she did wait for a couple of minutes because Ace was busy taking photos of the sky. As much as Ace enjoyed shooting the animals, he had a great time shooting for Sky Watch. This photo was taken by Ace and never enhanced using a picture editor. Congrats, hon. You did a great job for Sky Watch! 

Have a great time watching the skies from different places. Visit here for more entries. 

I have noticed I am only consistent in posting for one meme in this blog. I think I never failed to post for Sky Watch here. For the most obvious reason, I don’t fail to take the opportunity to show my piece of sky because I love taking sky photos and I am enjoying this meme so much. Anyway, here’s a photo I took days ago from our yard. I remember ranting about how unlucky I am to not have a very clear view of the sky from our place because of the coconut trees around the yard and the bananas of the neighbors. They are all blocking a very beautiful view of the sky especially during sunset. Anyway, here’s a photo I took one afternoon. Rain clouds are forming in the east but I noticed a different color of sun’s rays peeping through our main door so I went out to check what’s happening. I was really awed at the sight of different shades of clouds in the west and the deep blue sky. Hurriedly I took the camera inside the house and aim it in the sky….regardless of the banana leaves that are blocking my view. 

Happy Friday! Visit here for more gorgeous photos of the sky.

Photography has become my passion and my favorite subjects, anything in nature. Frankly speaking, I had a hard time taking photos of people. I felt like I don’t know how to properly shoot human subjects because I am more into landscapes and nature. Hence, I am always looking forward for this day so that I can share my photos. Here’s one of the best photos I took last sunrise shoot in Sta. Ana Wharf, Davao City. I say one of the best because I have numerous BEST photos.LOL. It’s really hard to choose which photo to post. So here’s one of the photos I had printed for the mini exhibit we will be doing in a friend’s coffee house. Wanna see my other photos? Just let me know.
