Photography: Long Exposure Shots of the San Juanico Strait

Where I live right now is situated close to the Strait (about 500 feet). It's a blessing altogether even though it's sure that I will have to evacuate with each typhoon rated at Category 3 and above. However, looking at this at any weather and at the end of the day, somehow I forget it all because of the picturesque vista where I see Tacloban City from across and a small island of Samar.  It's both breathtaking and God-given. 

To show you what I mean, here are photos shot at sundown, with a DSLR camera, with settings anywhere from f/22 - f/29, ISO from 100 - 200 and exposure from 5 secs to 25 secs. 

Samar Island across.

The sea had minimal waves I couldn't control but the colors are spectacular.

Rizal Beach in Dulag:

Recenlty took a random shot of the sea grass bed w/ flowers on the beach at Rizal Beach, Dulag, Leyte and the cloudscapes that day were quite fascinating as well. 

Dulag was one of the towns in Leyte that was hit hard by Typhoon Yolanda but people are doing their best to rebuild. 

Been going to and fro all around Leyte and I am rediscovering it unlike any other time. Our landscape is not to be taken for granted. Whether land, sea, or mountainside, we have quite a treasure trove in our own beloved island.
