Calumbuyan island was our lone beach stop on our second day. (The other stops were Coral Garden and Lusong Wreck.) We spent most of the morning and early afternoon just swimming and shooting on the beach.

Bokeh Lesson

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 | Posted by Unknown at 12:08 PM | Labels: bokeh, coron, night, palawan, portrait, vacation

We had a bokeh tutorial on night #2. It was difficult as hell using the kit lens, but we gave it a proper go.

TV
For this pic I wanted to make it seem like the TV was lighting Belle. I put the flash on the TV set, and exposed the shot to kill the ambient.

Like Old Times
It was quite dark in the garden so I had a hard time focusing, which explains the lack of sharpness. But I liked the rest of the pic, so there.

Tweetums
Here I tried a vertical composition to show as much of the backround lights as possible.

Tears, Almost
Rey shows off his acting skills. There are supposed to be tears.

Bokeh
This was right before one of the flashes tumbled off the garden chair where I placed it. (Which reminds me: I should try to fix that broken receiver.)

Under the Umrella
With one gone, I experimented with the placement of the remaining flash. I attached it to the pole of the giant umbrella stuck to the table and bounced the light off the multicolored canvas.

Last set from our first day in Coron. I can't wait to post pics from the rest of the trip. I've got some fun portraits from days 2 and 3. :)

I'll try to get all the pics uploaded to Flickr, soon, but for now they're all on my Multiply site.

Third part of the 'Coron' series. Pics are from our hour at the Maquinit Hot Spring, which was right by a mangrove swamp. We spent as much time in the mangrove as in the hot spring itself.

Here's another set of pics from our Coron trip. We didn't fancy sleeping early on our first night in Coron so I brought out the flashes and gels, and we had an impromptu photo shoot in the room.
