Yesterday we decided to embark on an exploration going Southern part of Cebu. Our trip was just spontaneous that started out with an itch to shoot landscape that day. Initially our target was Kawasan Falls but due to the great number of tourists and locals going there, we decided to go to Moalboal instead. "Moalboal is foremost known as a place of great diving. The sleepy town lies on the west coast of Cebu, about 92 km south of Cebu City. You can cover the distance in about 2 1/2 with a car or bus."

Aside from the images and scenery we witnessed, its the learning and stories that made the "Moalboal trip" memorable. Just to kickoff our VISMIN Exploration we will start from here then cover our succeeding trips and share them to all. Indeed, we were blessed that day with strong winds and waves! To Lem and Paul I salute you guys for your passion to this hobby. Now, looking forward to the next..

    These fellas are braver than me. Looks like the ocean is waiting to swallow-up a tripod "mishap".

    Lovely image though.

    Very neat! From time to time I like to see a person in the landscape to give the scene a sense of scale, depth or reality! :D

    I really like the first shot. I think the photographers really do add something. But I agree with Randy, you are all a lot braver than me when you put the tripod into the waves.
