Behind The Lens

Location

This is me swimming with the gentle giants locally called “Butanding” in Oslob, Cebu, Philippines.

Time

We took a 2-hour drive from Cebu city proper to Oslob, this photo is taken around 9am, the sun was bright and the weather was perfect for adventure with the Bs.

Lighting

Beautiful sunny day it was, naturally good lighting I think.

Equipment

It was my sjcam, poor man’s gopro they said.

Inspiration

My 1st boyfriend of 5 years left. We didn’t make it til marriage so when our relationship ended, I opted to be a bride of adventure.

Editing

I think not.

In my camera bag

iphone, canon entry level dslr

Feedback

Timing is the charm! Being a good swimmer is a plus.
