Default Racing the Sun

My buddies and I ware able to shoot in a place called Real (pronounced re-yal) in the Quezon province in the Philippines. We were literally, racing the sun, leaving Manila at around 3am just to be able to get there before sunrise. The drive was arduous and I experienced my first bout with motion sickness but the payback was unreal.

I hope you guys like em

Well worth the early morning wake up, not so sure about the motion sickness, that's pretty cruel. Your pictures are great, I love the soft colours and the silky water.

Thanks shmelly! Yeah, the motion sickness was a b!+@#, I usually bring a car to locations but for some unknown reason, I opted to hitch with one of my friends. I guess I'm not used to being a passenger anymore. I'll probably bring my own ride from now on.

These are all excellent captures, good lighting and the softness of the shots are spot on. Sorry about the motion sickness though. TFS
