Francis Magalona
Philippines

Blue Bora Boat

I was in Boracay for an On-The-Spot Competition held in one of the monthly competitions of the Camera Club of the Philippines.

I was sitting outside my hotel, sipping on a fruit shake waiting for my wife, who opted to sleep the afternoon away.

I fired a couple of exposures in a lazy way, seated, but my lens was wide 17mm at full frame so it was a nice shot I guess. I am not a landscape (or seascape) shooter, but I guess this was a good day. It can be a postcard for this famous island paradise called Boracay.

Canon EOS 5D; Canon 17-40 mm L f/4 USM lens; ISO 100; Normal Program; Pattern; 1/125 at f/8
