We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

For slow shutter and long exposure, the 7d's exposure simulation was a great help. It can compensate with the hoya nd400x -9 stops pitch. AWB was used on most of the photos and as same with the XXd and Xd series it presented the same results.
Sisiman Bay is found in mariveles bataan, it presented a different foreground/ middleground with the presence of the beacon/light house.
The 7d handled highlights similar to 40-50d, its a bit below the 5d mk1, it would blow highlights from the sky even with a -3 stop nd grad. The photo below showed some of this flaw. But the shadow details are excellent as expected from the 10-22 lens.
“With inexpressible delight you wade out into the grassy sun-lake, feeling yourself contained in one of Nature's most sacred chambers, withdrawn from the sterner influences of the mountains, secure from all intrusion, secure from yourself, free in the universal beauty.
And notwithstanding the scene is so impressively spiritual, and you seem dissolved in it, yet everything about you is beating with warm, terrestrial, human love, delightfully substantial and familiar.”
— John Muir, The Glacier Meadows of the Sierra
"The truth is, your lifestyle is not defined by the things you live with, but by the way you live and the happiness it brings to yourself and others." 🌟 🌈 ⋅
I will not give up, slow down, compromise, sit back, or be turned away from that to which I am called ever onward. This beautiful surrender to an adventure - something dangerous. Something worth living for. Something that demands all of me.
I crave this.
My heart cannot be put into a limiting box of either your expectations or mine. It's far too wild.
But I'm not afraid of that.
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
"Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow."
— Paulo Coelho
Malapatan, Sarangani is bounded by a rich aquatic mangrove forest, where mangrove trees reach 10-20ft high, it has also serve as a barrier to the might waves of Celebes.
Going inside this aquatic forest is surreal. This is a shot from inside the “forest” with the sky matching its beauty and showcasing theatrical lights.
Fall is beautiful. The golden sunsets and crisp air are perfect for getting ready for the holidays. This little field is right on my way home. I just missed the most beautful sunset. The tail end of it is in the distance... :(

Finding an image for "Push the Sliders" was very easy for me! I am guilty of this and proud of it! SOOC is rarely what I 'thought' I saw!!
Jackie and I raced to where we could get the sunset before it was gone. The best spot we found was naturally taken by two other photographers sitting up on a peak, with camp chairs, tripods and beverages. Don't you hate how others are always prepared? We considered knocking them out and stealing their spot ... and beverages ... but settled for a spot off to the side. It really was a spectacular sunset!!
Happy Slider Sunday!

"It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets.
It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B.
The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way."
— Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

A strong vertical line anchors the image and lets my eye luxuriate in textures, shapes and details. Curls and curves give a feel of motion and the neutral color palette lets each nuance have its moment of attention. A tree makes art.

"We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity.
When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything" 🍃💦💚 —Jonah Lehrer, Why We Travel: The San Francisco Panorama (McSweeney’s, scienceblogs.com/cortex/2009/12/10/why-we-travel)
Remove individualism and dehumanize; sever connections, provide basic necessities, assume responsibility; control their habitat and restrict their movement; divide.
Black-and-white architectural expressionism exploring containment and transient human presence within urban space. I photograph structured urban environments where lighted interiors and passing figures suggest proximity without permanence.
