Day 58 – Various Photos
November 25, 2009 by gwyncole
Here is a collection of photos that I’ve taken over the last few days.

I wondered along the beach and I noticed these 3 girls using a Canon 450D to take photos of each other and having a laugh doing so... So I offered to take a photo of them and then said if I could try something different. They were curious and I took a few frames like this one. After about 5 minutes, I continued and had a beer in a bar called Paraw.

The bar at Club Paraw.

Club Paraw early before it got busy.

Live entertainment at the Bom Bom bar.

I like slow exposures with rear curtain flash. But this was perhaps a bit too slow. ISO 800, 1/3 sec, F4.

Sitting on the beach at Bom Bom.

Willy's rock with the Virgin Mary and is collectively referred to as a symbol of Boracay.

A wider shot of Willy's rock.

You can't see the drama in the clouds in the previous image. So this wider shot gives you more idea.

However, I think this shot really shows what's going on in the clouds.

A HDR image of a kararoki bar. I have a few more shots planned for this location.

The Rumba's bar I attend daily. I have all my meals here and perhaps a few beers! 😉 I took this early tonight with 2 flashes with 1/2 CTO gels..

Getting the Rumba's name in the frame.

Again focusing on getting the bar name into the frame.

Thanks Darryl…
Back to having your normal good time, now that Miss Earth has finished? I particularly like the portrait cloud shot. Does it chuck it down at pretty much the same time every day?
Its only rained a couple of times here, mostly in the afternoon. And when it rains, it rains! Actually, its quite nice to walk in the rain. Its not cold! 😉
Those Clouds don’t look very inviting !! looks a bit like here without the rumba! Lol
Giggle… So far today, its blue skies…
Looks like you are still having a good time. On the subject of flash I finally took the plunge and ordered the 580 EX yesterday. It arrives today 🙂
Nice one Paul!! You’ll be able to do a lot with that flash! Glad you went for the 580! Was the right choice mate!
Woo hoo, it has arrived. Gwyn what was the brand of those rechargables that you swear by?
Sent you an email… don’t forget to watch those flash DVDs which you have! 😉
Hey Gwyn, what focal length did you use for the shots on the beach with flash?
If it was quite short I was thinking you could have put on a longer lens and backed up and crouched down low to give the same framing and made that boat on the horizon much bigger in the frame.
I think I must have been around 50mm. That is a very good point!!! I will retake next time at 200mm 🙂
