Some feria (carnival) in Tagaytay.

    You should go here. Specially in Boracay, that's 1 of the best beaches here.

    The sunset ones with the boat are my favorites. Truly capture the spirit of the location.

    really nice shots.

    it looks like you have a tendency to tilt the horizon a few degrees...might wanna watch out for that when you're hand holding.
