Swimming training in Dumaguete

Travel photography

Swimming training, a set on Flickr.   Nice evening watching the swimmers of the Dumaguete Blue Dolphin Club training and practicing all the four style. I had my zoom lens but the light was a bit low. Did not want to push the ISO too high or use flash. I like how the pictures turned our. They seem abstract paintings to me.

Gingko biloba at University House, ANU Canberra, a set on Flickr. So this great Gingko tree in the rear garden at the ANU University House in Canberra. There was a nice evening light. Some elderly people, maybe former professors at ANU,  were having a summer drink at a table nearby. Nicely dressed. Tall white wine glasses on an elegant table. Nice summer atmosphere.

Branches and the blue sky

Branches and blue sky, a set on Flickr. I had some time in Canberra on a Saturday morning. Decided to follow the advice of my colleagues and rented a bicycle to make the round of the artificial lake. It was sunny, blue sky. Dry heat, so different from the humid heat back home in the Philippines. Was a great two hours ride. Nice countryside. Saw this dried up tree on the shore of the lake. […]

It was mid afternoon and like the narrow strip of land at the horizon compared to the huge blue sky dotted with travelling clouds which disappeared far away under the horizon. They seemed touching on a transparent glass surface. I tune up the blues when […]

Adelaide airport: Boarding

Travel photography

While waiting to board the flight to Melbourne I wandered around the transit area. I liked the morning light that was so good for black and white. Saw this man whom i imagined travelling all over the world, let’s say, 9 months a year. Business class traveller. Based in Hong Kong. Working in the financial sector. Looking forward to land in Melbourne for a week of meetings with bankers

Adelaide airport: Listen to me!

Travel photography

I saw this with the side of my eye, in a glimpse. I turned and took the picture which is quite shaky, I know. Has a strange feeling when doing this. Seemed to me that the man was telling the boy “Listen to me!’. Maybe they were both tired of the long flight throughout the night or maybe he was just showing the eboy that a text message had arrived from mum back home. All […]
