the two people in the picture is my girlfriend, Maricar Vidal, and i. the panda was a gift for my girlfriend AFTER i asked her out that same night.

cliche, much?
Photography Technique:
did not use a tilt shift lens. ::GASP!::
its actually just a wide angle lens. 17-35mm f/2.8L
i didn't really do crazy planning for this shot. I just laid my camera on the ground with the help of my lens hood, wallet, lens cap, and my cell phone to support it up so we can be in the shot and set my camera on self timer mode and posed. As for the blur effect, i did it myself on Photoshop. I did it because there were people in my shot and i didn't want them to be a distraction to the eye. haha.

Lake Eyre, Australia's answer to an inland sea.
Sadly, most of the time it has no water.
INLAND SEA
The explorers' dream?
The search for a great 'inland sea' has been often cited as the holy grail inspiring the great Australian explorers in the nineteenth century.
Yet when writing his 2009 book The water dreamers: the remarkable history of our dry continent, author
Michael Cathcart found little substance to the notion that explorers searched for the inland sea. Perceived history was just plain wrong.
Perhaps the myth was inspired by tales of Sir Walter Raleigh's 1595 search for the lost city of gold, El Dorado, thought to be on the banks of the mythical Lake Parima in South America.
Early explorers had enough trouble finding large freshwater rivers. Flinders missed the Clarence, Richmond, Tweed, Nerang, Albert and Brisbane Rivers. Oxley only found the Brisbane River with the help of Aboriginal people.
When Sturt's expedition found the Darling River in 1829 they jumped for joy into the water and started gulping it down only to find it was salty. There was a salty spring nearby.
At 9500 square kilometres Lake Eyre, shown above, is the largest lake in Australia and sixth largest in the world. It fills up about three times a century when it teems with life. The
rest of the time it's a salt pan.
The grave of James Poole. He was the only explorer known to have died in search of the mythical inland sea.
