Litratong Pinoy: Salamin-Glass

 Marahil kayo ay nagtataka kung bakit puro ulap ang aking handog samantalang salamin ang paksa ng Litratong Pinoy ngayon. 

Ito ang napili ko na ibahagi sa inyo mga kaibigan dahil ang litratong ito ay kinuha ko habang ako ay nasa loob ng eroplano. Nakikita nyo ba ang mga maliit na dumi nakakalat sa litrato? Yan ay ang mga dumi at alikabok na nasa bintana na salamin ng eroplano.

Magandang Araw!

You may wonder why I chose to share this photo that shows clouds and sky were in fact our theme for today's Filipino Photos is about Mirror or Glass. 

I chose this photo because I took it inside an aircraft. See that scattered dots in the picture? Those are dirt and dust on the airplane's glass window.

Have A Nice Day!

Sunset on New Year's Day

No gloomy sky on New Years Day at Cabangalasan, Bukidnon except for some stratus and cumulus clouds partially covering the mighty sun. At around 4:30PM I positioned my tripod on an ideal spot and waited for the "New Year's Day Sunset", the ideal spot for me was on a rice field in front of my in-law's house.


I took countless shots (I wasn't able to review all the shots yet), I took each position in different exposure so that I can experiment later on about HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging that I have read in a photography magazine (oh.. later, crap I hope I have more time..lol).


Meanwhile, I'll share to you this shot taken @ 5:45PM, while the sun hid himself in a huge cumulus clouds.


My First Sky Watch for 2010. Happy Sky Watch Friday!

Litratong Pinoy: Makapal (Thick)

Makapal na Ulap (Thick Clouds)

Papunta kami sa Bukidnon nung Disyembre 31, 2009 para doon mag celebrate ng Bagong Taon kasama ang mga magulang at kamag-anak ng asawa ko, at habang sa kalagitnaan ng byahe namin napansin ko ang makapal na ulap sa aming harapan na nag hahalo ang malinaw at medyo madilim na kulay ng ulap.

Akala ko sa gabing yun bisperas ng Bagong Taon ay uulan, ngunit hindi naman pala, mali ang aking hinala, sinalubong namin ang Bagong Taon na malinaw ang kalangitan.

Maraming Salamat at Hanggang sa Muli!

On our way to Bukidnon on December 31, 2009 to celebrate New Year with my husband’s family and relatives, and in the middle of our travel I noticed this thick clouds in front of us that has a mixture of white and gray color. I thought that night on New Year’s Eve it will rain but I was wrong we welcomed 2010 with clear skies.

Thank You and Until Next Time

Above the Clouds

I posted for my SkyWatch Friday last week was a photo taken at the ground, today I'm sharing the Philippine Sky just above the clouds.

These photos were taken while on board PAL Express Q400 Aircraft for a 38-minute flight from Cebu City to Cagayan de Oro City on December 9, 2009.

I was ready to capture scenes below because the plane will be flying only around 10,000ft above sea level but the clouds were thick, so I took shots of the sky peeping in the thick clouds instead.

Here they are my 10th SkyWatch Friday..

and My 1st Entry for Looking at the Sky on Friday!

I applied an auto-level correction for picture # 2 using Photoshop CS3.

SkyWatch Friday # 6 - Islet & Clouds

Once again it's SkyWatch Friday!

My 6th entry will take you to a small islet located along Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines. I got tempted to shoot this shot sometime in May 2009 while traveling from Zamboanga City to Iligan City.
The beautifully formed clouds, the islet, the over all view is simply irrestible.

More clouds across the globe @ SkyWatch Friday.

Zamboanga City: A Long & Winding Road

After my shift as dispatcher at ZACC May 26, 2009, were I was previously assigned, got bored and nothing else to do for 3 days until my next shift, I decided to spend the day-offs at my husbands place. So, I packed my things, grabbed my camera and got a lift going to Iligan City.

While on mobile, Erwin & I took a stop somewhere along the way, got ourselves on top of the hill and have this stunning view taken. A long and winding road never appreciated while passing on it and dramatic clouds we usually see but never took notice of it's beauty.

Here I captured this sight while a passenger bus passed by.
