After a short stay in Coron last week, I had the chance to once again see nature at its raw beauty. 3 years have passed since my last visit and all I can say is that this place still inspires me. After a long absence in our hobby, I tried my best to renew my passion bringing with me a new system to discover and learn. It was a wonderful experience, all again remembering what it felt like way back 5 years ago. When the excitement was at it's fullest for me.

Let me share some images as my journey unfolds day by day.

Shot on our Day 2 in a public beach. It was low tide and the beach formed tide pools like this.

DESERTED PINNACLES

- I was testing my ND filters with the OMD EM-5. I noticed that the EM5 is a bit sensitive to light compared to my previous system (D7000). This shot was exposed for 2 minutes using a ND400 + BW ND106. Thats a total of 15 stops to be exact. Had to pre-focus before screwing in the filters here.

- A share for today. My favorite shot of the set. This image shows the diversity of the Coron. Clear blue waters, a marvelous golden hour, and an interesting foreground. Unfortunately, this coral is surrounded by sea urchins so I cant go further and had to be extremely careful not to step on them.

Thanks guys! Your comments means a lot.

Here's another share for the night.

- On our last day in Coron, and on our way back to town. The sky grew red, and clouds came bursting with colors. Red coulds and blue skies. All I could do is hope that when we dock at the port, I can still capture the magnificent show of colors. Well, the show lasted for about 15 minutes. I had the chance to compose although the bangkas were already parked side by side and It was quite difficult to see them because it was already dark.

- It was a spectacular show on the 3rd day. Rays slowly creep in and the colors changed the mood. I had a hard time composing the shot because the sea was scattered with rocks and corals like this, so I opted for a more simple look.
