El Nido, Palawan Sunset : An Exhibition of Colors

I am a big fan of both sunrise and sunset this is why i always look forward to it whenever i set foot on different places. I make sure to witness any or both two if there are chances. A wake up early in the morning or few minutes in the late afternoon is all worth the wait.

 

These two phenomenon are feast for the eyes for everyone specially for nature lovers, photographers and visualists for its great display of colors during a short span of time from the moment the first ray of sun slips in the morning and last ray of light before the night conquer the sky. The sky acts like a huge canvas and the sun paints its colors and change it every minute. From the yellow and oranges hues in the beginning it can change and combine colors from red, purple, pink and blue.

 

It would be great if there will be subjects underneath the sky or the horizon to add to the scenery. From usual boat and ship sailing in Manila bay to the yatchs parked on the yard of Manila Yatch Club. Silhouttes of mountains, islands and trees are another good add ons. On top of these and my favorite are human silhouttes in action.

 

My first encouter was in a sunset in Caramoan where a father and daugher/son carrying a sack and bundle of palm leaves on shoulders walking back home. From then on, human silhouttes on either sunrise or sunset bacame my favorite subject.

 

And now El Nido gave me something to remember aside from experiencing the beauty it offers – a good set of sunset photos.

 

This features a family consists of a mother with her little girl with the father carrying their young one and a group of children gathering Lato (seaweeds) from the seagrass and rocks since its already low tide. This might be for selling the following day or dinner for the evening. I tried what they are doing and i got excited the first time i saw it and the mother confirmed it is the right thing im pointing at. Hope you enjoy this set 😉
