Description
Let's head back to one of our favorite spots for coastal photography. Baler is a popular surfing destination located in the province of Aurora in the eastern part of the Central Luzon region. It is also known for its rugged coastlines and beautiful rock formations. For this reason, it is a perfect destination for photographers who want to have a quick seascape photography escapade during the weekend. We will meet early in the morning in Cubao and head to Cabanatuan where we will stop for breakfast. We will resume our travel east and are expected to arrive in Baler around lunch time. We will check in and have a rest before we head out for our sunset shoot at Diguisit Rock Formation. A night photography shoot is an option outside our resort but you may opt to sleep early because we are heading to Dipaculao early in the morning the next day. We will shoot 2 rock formations along the stretch of Ampere Beach in Dipaculao. We will head back to our hotel for breakfast and and go out again to photograph the ruins of an old bridge near Dimadimalangat Rock Formation. After, we will head back to our hotel to tidy up and check out. Then, we will visit a big waterfalls in San Luis. This will be our last shooting location before we head back home. |

Mark Fitz Borre
Photo Tour Leader Growing up in a small town in Bicol, Fitz always wanted to explore big cities filled with the potential of many opportunities. But after years of working in a company where everything is fast-paced, he realized that he prefers taking things slow and find solace in places that are mostly away from the crowds. After just a few tries of creating images from these places, he was convinced that landscape photography is where his heart is. The recognition from the contests that he has joined boosted his desire to do better and produce images that are worthy to be called art. His current job, while hectic, provided him the opportunity to see new places and ultimately capture the images. He believes that they are too breathtaking to be left just as a memory. It fueled an ardent impulse to share what he felt in those moments by creating photos that will give justice to the real scenery and make whoever sees them feel as if they were there - in that particular time and place. |
