Inside Samar Island Natural Park - looking all around

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Once again, I was able to experience the hidden attraction of Samar Island Natural Park (SINP).  Limited not with just bird objective in mind but with the interest to photograph forest-dwelling species and some forest features.

All photographs taken at Samar Island Natural Park.  Enjoy viewing!

moondawn-webStarted shooting as early as 5:30AM.  The good thing of shooting moon at dawn is that you’ll have a colored background compared to a total black when taken at night :)

with this photo, i was able to proved again to myself that dawn is still my best time of day in photographing landscape :) very challenging that you have to compose, set and click as quick as you can because for a very short time, light temperature changes.

- a telephoto landscape.   the beauty of using telephoto lens resulting to a clean shot that focuses only on the light and colour of the sky, contrasted against the simple shapes of the landscape. am now starting to like telephoto lens for landscapes and can’t imagine traveling without taking it with me!
