Default Finally, some beach photos...

Since I received my camera 2 months ago, I have been wanting to try to go the beach and take some shots. Finally I got the opportunity and these are some of the pictures that I took. These were taken at the beach of Shangri-La Resort in Mactan, Cebu. I was still wearing jeans and sneakers when I eagerly went to the beach to take some shots. Didn't mind the people looking at me haha... Hope you like them. Thanks for viewing.

Lovely white sand and crystal clear water..

David thank you. These are the few I have chose from the numerous photos I took that day. Hard shooting them when people are looking at you because of my attire.

Thank you Michael. This is indeed one of the best beaches I have been to here in the Philippines. If I can, I would really want to spend one whole week there. Thanks

Thank you Mechanic and Mike! Try visiting our country some time. I can't say so many good things in general, but the beaches are really awesome.

I love the blues of the water and the sky. And the gold sand. These are wonderful captures. And, like everyone else has said, you make me want to go to there.
