North Luzon Travel Photography Expedition

Sep 3, '08 4:48 AM
for everyone

We visited the Callao Caves, swam in the Pinacanauan River, took sunset photos of Calvary Hills, celebrated Chin’s birthday with her family at their cozy home and went to Pagudpud the next day! There, we hiked up Cape Bojeador and had the time of our lives at the unbelievably awesome Bangui Windmills! Then we spent the 2nd night taking awesome light-graffiti pictures, spending time around a bonfire by the sea and capturing the moonrise through our lens… the next day, we went swimming in one of Pagudpud’s beautiful beaches (while others enjoyed some intro surfing lessons) before heading off to see the historical Paoay Church! Time constraints prevented us from seeing the Suba Sand Dunes of FPJ’s Panday and Nora’s Walang Himala fame but oh well…maybe next time … Despite accumulating about 30-hours traveling by bus over the weekend, we all definitely had fun and can’t wait for the next photo expedition!

Here are photos of the 14 pinoy nomads who joined the North Luzon Travel Photography Expedition organized by the cool people from THE Pinoy Nomads last August 22-25, 2008 =) ...… we played a game earlier during the trip that had each of us describing ourselves with an adjective that starts with the first letter of our name, hence, here are photos of Bongga Boy, Yummy Yas, and the rest of the group =)

that's me making kembot in the mini skirt! that's not you! ...hahaha...joke! ...inggit ako sa pose mo na yan! hmmph! should have done that too! ...(haha, nainggit ba?!) ...btw, my cam has this thing called intervalometer...it allows it to capture multiple shots without having to press the shutter button each time...i should have mastered how to use this function para i didnt have to keep running back and forth to take the shot... we could have done so many more fun poses sana without spending too much time in between takes! =)

Wow Martin wants to play frizz? And he's taller than you na? Grabe, ang liit pa niya dati ah. :)

Cge, will let you know when the Beginners' Night at Meralco resumes. And also when the Ateneo team training resumes. I'll be at both in case Martin is a go. :) Ikaw din, try mo. Haha :)
