[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On a wet soggy day in Washington D.C., I remember how wonderful the weather was in the Philippines during a trip from two months ago. This was an early morning scene (the time in my exif data is incorrect by 12 hours as I failed to adjust my date/clock in the cam). Although I used a not-so sturdy and petite tripod for this shot, it was windy. Sharpness on the distant boats appears to have suffered. I wanted to use a higher f stop setting but it was dark and my deteriorating eyes just could not navigate my cam's menu panel.

The scene is from Guiuan, Samar. During dry season, this place is ideal for tourists and visitors. However, stay away from this area during wet season as the area is on the pathway for many storms and tropical depressions.

Thanks for the peek. PP work included cropping and very slight exposure adjustment. No tweaking of colors.

Hi Danilo

Wow! A marvelous tropical scene with rich saturated colors & good sharpness. I like the motion blur of the canoes & the deep blue colour. The highlight of the moon or star is a superb focal point. Have a great weekend!

Bom dia Danilo
Blue is a great feeling colour, sea, sky...it´s very touching colour...your photo is full of "morning stars" this is pure poetry and beauty. You had fantastic moments in your travels.
I love it.
Have a good WE , my friend

Wow, great morning blue-hour shot Danilo! The stars in the sky are just great, and I love the rich rich gradient of blue color in the sky. Really nice comp with the moon and the plalm trees leaning in.
Wet and soggy in DC? Oh man, we could use a little wet around here!!

This is a wonderful shot! Kudos.
I think the slight imperfections add something....reality perhaps!
I am surprised that foreground objects did not show more movement given that it was windy and exposure was 30 secs.

Hi Danilo
I thought I had commented on this, getting hard to keep track of everyone.
You are too much of a perfectionist, the boats are a bit blurred in the distance, a bit of a wake and no matter how steady your tripod those boats are going to shift.
Personaly I find this extremely beautiful and moody.

Hi Danilo,
this is a striking image.
The settings look exciting. Fascinating how the lower palm branches seem very still (for 30 seconds !)
Best regards, Daniel
