Boracay Once More (Philippines, April 2005)

Well, after two years, I decided to plunge to Boracay's crystal clear water once again. The sun was as radiant as ever and its setting provided a visual feast fit for royalties. I felt like a royalty.

Here are the new images I had from Boracay. I will start off with the portraits of some friends I met in this paradise island. I will update this gallery regularly as I go through my over 1,000 shots.

19 April: I uploaded a lot of sunset pictures of Boracay. I took close to 500 of sunsets in this trip (enough to last me a lifetime).

24 April: My latest posts in this gallery veered away from my usual tight portraits. The encouraging words from all of you give me the confidence to try new styles/techniques/subjects.

However, an accidental goal of this gallery is summed up in Eric Rosales's comment: NOW, THESE ARE THE TYPES OF IMAGES THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE OF THE PHILIPPINES. Yes, the Philippines is a land of beautiful people and sceneries. Please come back for more...

Equipments: Nikon D70, 50 mm f1.8, Nikkor 70-200 mm f2.8

You truly deserve recognition in what you do and you make us all proud , FILIPINOS!

In behalf of all the Filipinos here in England, we can only say, thank you for capturing the best and stunning beauty of our beloved country and countrymen. Saludo ako sa'yo!

Great images and brought back memories of our fantastic visit in March 2006. It was the highlight of our Filipino visit after the very sad occasion of my wife's mother's death. Borocay should be left unspoilt with no international food chains being allowed to set up.

You are a splendid artist. Your photography is the kind which makes me wish I have half (and that's even being ambitious) of your talent and skills. How do you make your subjects respond to the camera with pure emotion?

Your pictures are very accurate. Fantastic work! Thanks.
vicky 28-Nov-2005 04:57
Your photos have a lot of depth and soul to them. However, some of the pictures' titles distract from the enjoyment of the pictures. That is, the photos are greater than their titles. If i were you, i'd leave some blank or be more careful in naming them. It's better to let the viewer exercise their imagination...
Jean-Claude Riboulet19-Nov-2005 06:35
Wonderfull gallery.
Ravabelli 17-Nov-2005 10:31
All good work, but particularly love your portraits. Do you do commissions? Visiting Boracay in Feb and can only dream of achieving what you have. Could I ask what equipment you use?

Keep taking these gorgeous photographs - I'll be back here to enjoy.
richard fischer 16-Nov-2005 19:09
best i´ve seen so far. comments from a professional photographer in germany. you should work for philippine tourism, try selling to BOT. this is what the world should see on the philippines. any more ? regards from richard. www.richardfischer.net

Hi Manuel - have just discovered your galleries for the first time and I'm in absolute awe - your photos (as you're obviously used to hearing!) are fantastic, and I think you have an extraordinary talent - you must be very good indeed at your day job that you don't do this for a living! Many congratulations, and I'll be back frequently. Voted

I never dreamt a gallery of mine being featured in the first page of the favorite galleries ever. Just imagine my surprise when this gallery became number 1 for 3 days (and stayed in the first page of favorites for over a week). What made it a greater source of my pride is because it is the gallery of my country, the Philippines. Thanks for all who stopped by and viewed this gallery. Many thanks for all the words of encouragement. I will soon open another gallery of my Boracay trip...I simply have so many pictures from that trip.

I have come across your site while taking a study break, and now my break has been longer than expected. I am an amateur but I absolutely love photography and I think your work is incredible! You have truly caught the essence of each moment through each photograph. I have traveled to the Philippines a few times before and was captivated by the beauty of the islands and the people. Thank you for showing the world how beautiful the Philippines really is.

Manny,
Congratulations!!! And thanks for sharing with us your amazing work.
It's a treasure to be shared to the world. It reminded me of a passage from the Old Testament which I'm not sure if I can quote it exactly. it says: Heaven and Earth narrate your glory oh God!
These sceneries looked familiar being an islander myself but of course Boracay is much more beautiful and how you have captured them and fix it for eternity!!!!!

macy tayco 11-May-2005 02:51
your pictures are amazing.. they are the best pictures taken of boracay that i have ever seen.. the colors.. everything about each picture is beautiful.. and thanks to you, i now really want to go to boracay..
Guest 07-May-2005 02:37
No person can really know the joy of the islands without experiencing them. Your photos go a long way towards expressing this fact. Well done Manuel.

Your gallery is so damn good! I miss the times when I used to go there every year. I say you have got to post more boracay photos, how about the sand sculptures during holy week competitions? Well, you've got such great images, the real beauty of the Philippines vividly captured, makes me feel proud of our country. Cheers!!! There is nothing like it. ----- Rona G.

Great pictures of Boracay! wish you can work with Wow Philippines because one time when I visit the site of Wow Philippines, I was quite disappointed of the pictures they posted there, sorry but I'm just being honest. Im sure if they use your photos, Wow Philippines site will surely more attractive for those who wants to visit Philippines because I believe our country has a lot to offer for tourists... -- edith :o)

i like the most recent additions, Pare. The new ones are a departure from your usual style, which I respect. It's easy to get stuck in a comfort zone, especially when it has been as successful as yours.

Sunsets? Loose crop portraits? motion blur? what's the world coming to? :)

Love it my friend. Can't wait to see what comes up next.

what a beautiful gallery Manny, those colors, light.. incredible work
Guest 15-Apr-2005 08:32
I will have severe pain in my right index finger for quit sme time now Manny. Sory to have to blame you for it but it is from all the voting i had to do in this gallery. Taht constant klicking on the vote links has worn out my finger ;-)

Don't think i have to tell you that i really loved this gallery. I woudl not expect anything less from you though. I love your work. So, when are you going to take this up as a profession. Or, have you had any thought of an exposition? I'm sure you would gather a great intrest for it.

Good to have you back again with this master piece.
