PUERTO DE PUNTA DEL ESTE

Posted on July 16, 2020

Punta del Este, Uruguay was one of the stops during my South American cruise last December of 2018. These photos were taken at the pier while waiting for the tender to take us back to the cruise ship. I’ve been meaning to post these photos years ago but keep forgetting. These were actually taken using my old iPhone 7 Plus as I didn’t bring ashore my DSLR. I love how the clouds made the sky look very dramatic in these photos. The old yet colorful boats tossed by the tide also added a rustic feel to the composition. iPhones really capture good photos although the lack of depth always makes me regret not taking my DSLR with me.

CATCHING THE FISHERMAN

Posted on March 29, 2020

I have been taking photographs using a DSLR since 2012 but you’d be surprised to know that I’ve never used shutter speeds beyond 1/500. During my trip to Cambodia last November, my tour guide took me outside of Siem Reap allowing me to see the beautiful Cambodian countryside. Unfortunately, we had to work around a schedule so I didn’t have the luxury of making frequent stops to take photos. I had to capture most of the countryside from inside a speeding van and above is one of those photos I took while we were speeding down a country road. This was taken around 9 in the morning after I noticed a number of men lined along the river bank throwing nets to catch fish. I was hoping to capture one just as he was throwing his net and luckily I saw one getting ready so I focused my camera on him to capture the perfect moment. I think I used 1/1500 shutter speed for this photo and zoomed in at 200mm. I love how I captured the net midair and the man in his throwing pose. I wish I was able to capture this photo while on steady ground but this one isn’t too bad from inside a moving van. Hope you guys like this as much as I do.
