Today I decided it was time to shoot various images from sun rise to sun set. This meant waking up at 4:45am! It was very dark and continued shooting till around 6am. Then it was time to head over to Bolabog beach again later in the morning to see what was going on and then to the top of the island. Then finally back to Bom Bom bar for sunset on the bean bags.
Taken at 5:26am at ISO 400, 30 seconds, F10.
A wider landscape shot. Taken at 5:33am, ISO 160, 15 seconds, F13.
Getting closer to getting some better shots. Taken at 5:43am, ISO 100, 5 seconds, F22.
Finally this HDR image taken at 5:46am. ISO 100, F22. Frame 1: 1/2 second. Frame 2: 1 second. Frame 3: 2 seconds. 1 minute after this shot, it was all over. Not a great sun rise so I'll try again soon...
A boat getting ready to go out on Bolabog beach.
Then I went to Mount Loho... the tallest point on the island. I used my polarising filter to remove the reflections off the leaves. Bolabog beach is in the distance.
Looking 180 degrees the other way you see this view. Lapus-Lapus Beach.
When you get to Mound Loho, you have to climb these stairs.
The Mount Loho welcome sign.
Tonight's sunset. You can see someone parasailing in the distance. Aperture Priority was far to variable so I switched to manual mode. ISO 200, 1/250 sec, F16.
I took this picture from the Bom Bom bar especially for Nick, Brian and Drew. I was sitting on the bean bag on the next table and popped my flash on my table pointing towards the table in front. As flash is day light balanced it didn't look right so I chucked on a 1/2 strength CTO gel to warm up the scene. ISO 200, 1/200 sec, F20 and the flash at -2/3 FEV.
My last frame of the day taken at 5:23pm. ISO 200, 1/160 sec, F11.
