Cagsawa Church Ruins at Dusk: Mayon Madness Take 3

8 Comments |

The Mayon Volcano was finally clearing up and just in time for sunset! I rushed to the Cagsawa ruins in Daraga, Albay to get the famous shot of Mayon showing off the ruined bell tower of the ill-fated Cagsawa Church. From the Daraga town proper, I hailed a jeep and dropped off at the highway intersection going to the Cagsawa Ruins (there’s another jeepney route, which goes the other way to Ligñon Hill, so better inform the driver where your headed). There were a lot of tricycles parked at the drop-off point but I chose to walk the way to the Cagsawa ruins since I wanted to take photos along the way. Great thing I did because I wanted to take photos of the Mayon Volcano with Albay’s natural countryside scenery.

 Autumn Sunset

I took this picture of Vince, while we were buying cream puffs in Zageca in Pavia. I was looking at the glass display shelf when I noticed it had cast Vince’s reflection and the scenery behind him. I took a shot of it thinking it would turn out to be a good photo processed with an “old faded photo” effect. I failed miserably doing the faded photo effect, I still have to learn how to do it well. I ended up with this photo.

Usually, I would have a concept in my photo submissions but I can’t seem to find one in this photo. It seems so uninspired. Something is missing, or maybe it’s just too cluttered.
