Who doesn't like photography? Maybe only few people because as I had observed during my past travels even old age were busy taking photos. In my own perception, they took photos not only because they would like to have a great shots of the spots or to have a nice photo for their instagram, twitter or facebook post but because they would like to capture the moment and the things that made their hearts happy.
When we grow old and can no longer take ourselves to a short or long trips because of health issues, we will just reminiscing the days where we can still able to travel thru looking those old photographs. This is the good thing in photography, we will be able to capture and keep the happy memories of our past important events in our life.
During hard lockdown brought by the pandemic and going outside was strictly prohibited, I just entertained myself thru looking my old photographs. It really made me smile even there are series of adversities that I have faced. That's the magic of photographs.
In this blog, I will be featuring my old photographs of nature. These were captured in my different trips.
In 2017, my close friend invited me to attend a birthday celebration of her friend's daughter. Since I was available that time, I attended.
I travelled to Sagay, Negros Occidental where the gathering was held. The place was located in the countryside. Upon our arrival the various color of flowers welcomed us. I was really tempted so I immediately looked my phone in my bag, grabbed it and took photos of the beautiful flowers.
I captured first the red rose. It looked so fresh. My visit was perfect because it was fully bloomed and perfect for me as a photography lover.
Next, I took photo of the white rose. It was also perfectly bloomed. I was not able to control myself so I touched the white petals that beautifully bloomed. Maybe because of the good soil and the right sunlight made this flowers beautifully grown and bloomed.
After taking photo of the white rose, I had noticed the pink rose to the adjacent pot. It was also beautifully and fully bloomed.
Next was the yellow gumamela, although it was not fully bloomed yet but the flower was already showed her beauty. Beautiful, isn't it?
I had found this beautiful red anthorium in my Aunt's garden during our visit to her house. I'm not sure of my main hero of this photo, is it my little cutie cousin or the red anthorium (lol).
This is my sister-in-law's strawberry. She planted it by herself. After 3 months since she planted, it produced fruit already.
This beautiful flower was also planted by my sister-in-law. I noticed it in her garden so I took photo of it.
The beautiful shape of himokilan island. I captured this on one sunny morning.
This beach resort was located in Leyte. I had captured this during our family outing last May of 2019. I had noticed that only the ripple on the surface of the sea water disturbed the calmness of the sea.
And if you would ask me, what is my favorite photo among all these photos? Well, my answer is the photo below. This is really my favorite. I like how I captured the sunset,the low tide and the himokilan island.
This small pond was located in the mountainous part of Mambukal, Negros Occidental. My friend invited me to visit her Aunt's mountain resort. Of course, I immediately grabbed that opportunity. We visited the Graceland Mountain Resort and I saw the pond near the resort's pool.
So basically I need more and more practice so I would be able to develop my photography skill. Although, all of my photos was not perfectly captured but I am still happy for it. These are the photographs that I will be kept looking when I grow old. While I am still young, I will continue travelling and taking more great photos.
Thank you for reading and see you in my next blog. Cheers!
