HARBOR VIEW AT NIGHT.....

Across Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila And Mall Of Asia.....




Row Of Buildings Along Roxas Boulevard.....




The Cultural Center of The Philippines complex has been a favorite practice ground of people who are into photography. This is because it offers a scenic view of the buildings that stand tall along nearby Roxas Boulevard and it is also the best place to capture a stunning sunset. This is despite of the fact that photography is basically prohibited in this area. But what can the guards do? They just can not reprimand people all the time. I did notice though that the guards seem to be on the look out for groups who are doing engagement shoots rather than the novice photographer, carrying a tripod and shooting.

So one day, I went to CCP during the afternoon and decided to wait until dusk to start shooting. As for the reason why it took me this long to take pictures of the harbor area during the night is totally beyond me. I guess I just felt that it was time to do so.

Oh, by the way, in case one asks me, the row of lights that can be seen at the bottom of the photograph comes from those horrendous lighting fixtures that the city government of Manila decided to install. Talking about an overkill.....

Right after my photo club's monthly meeting for this month, we noticed the sunny weather outside. And the surprising thing was that the meeting finished on schedule which was 5:30 pm. Rarely does this happen to us since most meetings extend beyond that time. Enjoying the weather outside, some of us went to Harbor Square beside the CCP complex to shoot. Some of us were able to bring our cameras while most of us did not. My mate Bless even asked to have an OTS using camera phones! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Unlucky for her, I brought my camera with me so I was one of those who was able to take decent pictures during this sunny day.

As soon as the sun went down, we decided to have dinner in one of the restaurants in the square which had a second floor. Boyet had his laptop with him for the tabulation of scores during the club's monthly photo contest. But the highlight of the gathering was the video showing from him. What was the movie showing all about? Secret!!!!
