Simplest to Majestic Scenery

Postby Mark.Pedregosa on Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:39 am

Passion for photography is innate within me. It has been my goal to preserve memories and feelings in photographs. Capturing the simplest to majestic sceneries has honed my talent. Through photography I am able to express not only my feelings but the feelings of my subjects too. This is how I wanted to make a mark, boundless and bold.

Thank you for viewing! :)

THE FIRST LIGHT
Image
I decided to position my camera in low angle view and use the mangrove roots as my foreground. It was a cloudy morning at that time and I kept on checking on my watch, it was getting late for the sun. It was at 7:00 am when the 'First Light' slowly makes its way out from the skies. I was dazzled with the composition of the roots reaching out to the sky while some reaches out to the water. This photo was taken in Pagbilao, Quezon Province, Philippines.

TWILIGHT POOL

PHOENIX IN THE SKY

On my last visit of Nagsasa Cove, we got some fantastic morning sunrise and cloud formations. After few unsuccessful long exposure attempts, I was able to capture the unexpected cloud formation reflecting in the calm pooled water like a mythical sacred firebird

Chris and Tittan, thanks so much :)


Some of my recent shots...

Image
View from the top of Mt. Pulag. Mount Pulag (or sometimes Mount Pulog) is the third highest mountain in the Philippines. It is Luzon’s highest peak at 2,922 meters above sea level. The borders between the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya meet at the mountain's peak.

another shot in portrait oriented...

I was in awe when I saw this magnificent view from the top of Mt. Pulag. It's like a waterfalls coming from the sky...just amazing!

both were taken with a Lumix LX3.
