My Best Travel Photo

(This is my entry in the What’s Your Best Travel Photo? Contest by JustWandering.org. Click on the photo for the full version.)
I will admit to not being a professional photographer. I barely know my way around my point-and-click, and I only have a rudimentary understanding of the more technical aspects of photography. As far as quality is concerned, my pictures probably pale in comparison to those who use DSLRs, or have more technical know-how. But sometimes, serendipity strikes, and a beautiful photo comes out of nowhere.
My “best” – and by far my favorite – travel photo has to be this picture taken at Playa de Oro Beach Resort in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. My friend Didang and I decided to hit the beach on our second day of our trip to Vigan, and we were greeted by the most amazing sight. The resort was practically deserted, and when we hit the beach, we were just awed and amazed by our surroundings. It was gorgeous. This picture captures everything I loved about that moment. We were surrounded not by the usual crush of people that you find on other, more popular beaches. All we had was the sky, the sea, and the sand. Everything was simply blue and tranquil, and there weren’t even any clouds to ruin our day.
This picture epitomizes how peaceful and quiet our day at the beach was, and how beautiful unspoilt territory can be.
And that is why I consider this to be my best travel photo.

Hi Ren!! Remember me and Gail who were former Kaingeros? Anyways, thanks for putting my The Weekend Trekker blog under your ‘Other Travel Blogs’. I’m just starting to develop it by the way as Gail and I travel once in a while.
Vigan is one of our target destinations in the near future (hopefully). Nice photo you got there. I like the angle of the shot.
See you around Ren!

Hi Ren! Thanks for joining the contest! Judging is now underway, and we’re all set to announce the winner on Christmas day. Question lang, is it okay to use your photo for the announcement post on Thursday? I want to showcase all the entries kasi in my post. Also, one of the judges wants to feature some photos as well. Just e-mail me your reply. Thanks! :)

 You are a hardcore traveler with a stomach of steel, and you'll eat a grub out of a tree long before you are even hungry. You can't remember the last time you showered, but you still look good. |
