Vantage Point

The weather hasn’t been good this past few days, palaging umuulan. This kind of situation keeps me locked inside the home, kung baga nakahilata lang maghapon. This also keeps my camera idle, nakakatakot namang ilabas ang camera kapag umuulan, lenses are prone to photographers nightmare called molds & fungi. Nakakatakot na basta na lang atakihin ng mga pesteng ito ang mga investment mo, whew! I need to have a drybox & hygrometer, lalo yatang lumalaki ang sunog!

Today, maganda ang panahon, I stepped outside to rest my eyes from being glued on the monitor of my laptop. It was a little past 5:30PM, I was enchanted by how beautiful the cloud formations are, I went inside the house & grabbed my camera & started shooting.

The sky was blue while the sun painted a yellow-orangish shade just above the horizon.

I went on & on shooting, trying to capture different color spectrums.

The sky continued to reveal it’s wonder to me & my camera of course, every form makes my jaw drop.

I am fond of shooting the clouds, I kept on researching about different techniques on how show a better cloud photo. I read in one article once that a Circular Polirizing Filter & haze filter will enhance the quality of the sky.

But not having those kinds of filter will not stop me from trying to capture these magnificent beauty that nature has bestowed to us.

After a few more minutes & it’s time for sunset.

Clouds are fascinating, besides its cotton-like look, maraming kulay at porma pang ipinapakita ito, in my own experience, I’ve never seen the same form twice. The experience proves that you don’t have to go far to see the beauty of nature, this can be just a few steps away from your doorstep.
