Life In A Snapshot

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.

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.

TGIF! Here we are again, day for sky watch. I love posting for Sky Watch so much as I have the chance to see the beautiful skies from each postie’s place and though we are taking photos from the same spot over and over again, no two photos are exactly the same. Every sunset and sunrise has its own story, own magnificent beauty. If you’ve been following my posts, you will notice I have posted my sky watch entries taken from the same spot….my favorite sunset spot and yet no two photos I have took on different sunsets are exactly the same. If only I could watch sunset everyday, I would love to do it and will never be tired of watching Mr. Sun as he goes down the horizon.

My first capture of a RED sky after a sunset. This was taken last month. Just see how the sky turned RED in just a few seconds and was gone after a couple of minutes.  

My sunset photo is here again for most obvious reason - I love sunsets! Here’s a warm before -the-sunset photo taken last month. It’s been quite sometime since I had a sunset shoot due to the weather and I am hoping I could catch it next week ‘coz I already miss my “me and nature” time. I wonder how my sunset shots would look using a CPL. Happy Sky Watch!

Landscape photography is addicting. Isn’t it obvious? I think I already bored you for posting sunsets taken in the same spot. But as I have mentioned in my previous post, I would not get tired going back to my favorite sunset spot over and over again. Not now that I have discovered a trek going to a higher place. I am sure sunset over there is much more breathtaking. I hope I could go there next week to have another sunset shoot. Who wanted another sunset shoot from me? Raise your eyebrows.LOL. Just kidding. Happy Friday!

 What could I say? Nature is so wonderful and unpredictable. After weeks of overcast afternoons, yesterday (August 14) was one of the best. I peeked out of the window if thick clouds are covering the west and I am glad it was not so I grab the Canon 400D and off I went to my favorite sunset watching spot. Many times I have watched the sun going down but no two sunsets are the same even I am in the same place. I wouldn’t get tired of going in the same place over and over again to watch the sun go down. Happy Friday! More of Sky Watchers here. More of sunset photos in my flickr.

Photo taken at : Baywalk (David’s Edge), Ecoland, Davao City

My first time to watch sunset in the southern part of the city. This was taken last Sunday during our photo shoot. I should be looking out for subjects but when I saw the sun setting, and a golden-yellow colors of the sky, I left what I am doing and took this photo. I wonder how this would look if I am using a CPL. But I hope this one’s great.

Happy Sky Watch!

My first ever meme in my photoblog. I was just inspired to have a photoblog because of the appreciation I received about the photos I posted in my other blogs. Anyway, here’s my entry for this Friday. My first take of a beautiful, colorful sunrise.
