Got to shoot runners during a local race in Cebu immediately after I arrived at the airport. Got to meet some runner friends too. Chaotic race but glad to be with the ungo runners.

A happy 31st birthday to my good friend Ryan!

I’ve always wanted to get a portrait of someone at Bilar’s (Bohol) man made forest for quite some time ever since I saw the tall trees curving at the top, making a close canopy that resembles a gothic cathedra’s lancet.

That wish came true last Saturday when, with my friend, Eduard, we went to Carmen to see the Chocolate Hills and passed this magical place. Oscar, the driver, was a willing model and, upon my directions posed. I made sure the treetops were a blur by using a 50mm f/1.8 and framing him with it.

Next time, I would want to use a longer lens and see the effect.

Victor Eugene is a friend whom I have known online through Facebook. He’s into running and photography and we’ve discussed many things on these two topics over the past few months. Portraits taken during the Fitness First’s Fitness Run, where he participated in the 12K at the Terraces, Ayala Center in Cebu.

While waiting for the tricycle to leave for Ditaroy Falls in Pagadian City, I caught this woman waiting for someone. The view and framing was just so interesting that I took my camera with an ultrawide lens and took her photo.
