My recent trip to Bohol added a lot of interesting images to my stock for sharing. All were shot in RAW with just levels, curves and saturation for the post processing. Thanks for viewing.

Dramatic pictures! I love the Bohol Sunrise shot best!

I've come to realize that it's actually difficult to shoot the chocolate hills and make them look like chocolate hills. And side lighting them with sunrise works beautifully!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Suddenly, I missed Bohol...and I missed my stay at the Panglao Island Nature resort. Would you by chance have a picture of their high ceilinged restaurant? :)

Very nice willie. This place has been over-photographed so a fresh and unique view is always welcomed.

This is my favorite from your posts. The light is fantastic and the framing speaks volumes.

@willie

Your "Sunrise at Chocolate Hills" shows that given a new perspective, something so photographed can look much better. Galing! :)
