TRAVEL PHOTO | My 7 Super Shots

I got myself tagged and I didn't see it coming. I've come across a number of post from travel bloggers posting 7 of their super shots, as it is with travel niches, photography comes at hand. No wonder that their selection of photos are breathtaking and incomparable. 

I got my surprise few days ago when a fellow travel blogger and inspired photographer 

Elal of The Shades Of Grey ask if she could tag me. It's been months since I met her while taking photos of the Pyromusical Event, and now she's passed on the ball. I remember sitting beside the cutest and prettiest girl in the balcony of SM MOA, next thing I know she was asking for the best setting to shoot the fireworks (I honestly dunno it as well). Since then, I've become a silent follower of her page, enjoying her photography which in many ways reflects the blogger behind it.

Scrounging from my almost 15 thousands photos, probably more, stored in my external hard drive, crossing my fingers, hoping that my selection would be good enough for the challenge.

So here it is, 

My 7 Super Shots

Takes My Breath Away

Cadlao Island, El Nido
El Nido is the one that has the most scenic sunset I've ever experience.
Makes you wanna sit on the beach and enjoy cold beers as the late afternoon turns dark in every second.

Makes Me Smile

Puerto Galera White Beach

Probably one of the most blogged locations, because its an easy weekend getaway from Metro Manila.
This boy made me smile as he walked along the beach holding on to his shorts that's falling down.
Perfect beach for people watching and beach party.

Makes Me Dream

Kiltepan Viewpoint, Sagada in Mountain Province.
This site is probably the best location for Sunrise viewing,
It's heavenly and dreamy, with the abundant pine trees making a very calming contrast with the fog that envelopes it. Here is where you overlooked a valley hidden in the fog and the Sun shines it's ray above the visible cloud. Feels like standing in the threshold of heaven.

Makes Me Think

Baywalk, Manila Bay
This was shot at the back of SM Mall of Asia on one of Sykes Photo Club's, Photowalk Session.
A grey cast morning is not all that grey for a photographer, in fact it can have a full turn and make your subjects more interesting, especially people.
Here is where I looked into the innocent and inquisitive eyes of a girl and a mother's protective shelter.

Makes My Mouth Water

The oh so Pinoy favorite Leche Flan.
Shot on one of the family events I covered,
The christening of Lucas in Max's, Glorietta Makati.
Too bad, I've lost the raw copies, I just have to make use of this one I posted online.
Having a sweet tooth, a sight of Leche Flan makes my mouth water.

Tells A Story

Puerto Galera White Beach, Oriental Mindoro
"Show me some fire"
This shot won first place in the last look photo essay I sent to Asian Traveler Magazine.
The fire dancers of Puerto Galera may not be as famous as that of Boracay,
but they're skillful and inspiring nonetheless.
I was like a child sitting in a bonfire, looking into the dancing flames.

I Am Most Proud Of (aka My Worthy Of National Geographic Shot)

 Nacpan Beach, EL Nido, Palawan
I went away from where most tourist go, and this is where my wandering feet brought me.
A secluded beach and scenic hills overlooking the azure waters of Palawan.
I stopped where the trails ended and found myself standing on top of the hills, covered by tall vegetation on my back, a step further and I'd come tumbling down the rocky coves of Nacpan.

Here I've shared the 7 err super shots that I've scrounged from my memory bank in the last 24 hours.
I could look for more, I don't feel like they're super shots yet, and I don't think I've come to that point in my quest for photography. But somehow, I feel relieved to have shared a part of my adventures.
Hoping that you could share yours.
Here is where I tag Photography and Travel Bloggers to share their 7 Super Shots.
