A typical sunset scene in Matabungkay Beach, Lian Batangas. Floating cottages are a staple in this beautiful beach in the Philippines


The floating cottages of Matabungkay Beach in Lian, Batangas, Philippines is one things I miss the most amid the pandemic. This shot was taken a few days before the nationwide lockdown in the Philippines started.

This photo was taken during my visit to Singapore. Singapore’s Flower Dome is a gigantic air-conditioned greenhouse. It has hundreds of many different and exotic plants. This place is a must go when visiting Singapore!

This photo was taken at the Bangkong Kahoy Mountain Lodge at Quezon Province during a debut photo shoot that I was part of. We got there before the break of the sun to catch the golden hour and during that peak time is when I took this photo. What makes this photo as one of my favorites is the sunlight striking the flank of these small mountains and the green cast of the trees gives this photo a unique atmosphere.

This star trail photo is the very first one I’ve  taken. It is composed of 170, 30 second exposure photos blended into one final photo. I took this photo right at our backyard and although the composition isn’t perfect, I love how this photo turned out, it gives the impression of a sky full of falling stars which is amazing and surreal.

I took this star trail at Mabini, Batangas, Philippines way back in 2015. It was the first time I took this kind of star trail utilizing the position of the North Star (Polaris) at the sky, which seems to produce circular path of stars because the Earth rotates with Polaris right above the rotational axis.
