The blaze started this morning around 10:30. Fortunately it was contained within an hour with all the volunteer and government fire fighters present. I hope there weren’t any casualties at the restuarant.

The 5 (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) exposures used to achieve a subtle High Dynamic Range through AEB mode (Auto Exposure Bracketing) with Canon gear. My preferred software either Photoshop or Photomatix but now a days post processing work has become less painful with Adobe's much improved Photoshop CS5. Do refer to the supplied DSLR manual on how to set AEB...

blah blah blah...

Have fun and the best part is when your viewers don't know a photo is actually an HDR. Twilight at 5:45 pm captured on Canon EOS 50D, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, ISO 125 with Benro tripod and Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch.

Station 1 of White Beach on Boracay Island- # Boracay is an island of the Philippines located approximately 315 km (200 miles) south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. In 1990, it was voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook as one of the best beaches in the world and again in 1996 by British publication TV Quick as the world's number one tropical beach.- Thank you, Wikipedia

Captured in May of o-ten. Notice the shadows-this was shot during high noon. It was perfect hot beach weather without any wind. Without the CPL the fine white sand of White Beach would have been overly over exposed. The CPL filter acts like sunglasses for the lens, darkens the blues and evens out the whole scene. As much as possible keep one in the gear bag.

Wasn't sure if Santa arrived... was expecting a nice shiny lens but can't find it under the tree. +)
