Cloud 9 and HDR

I tried doing an HDR from a single photo of the Cloud 9 surfing station in Siargao Island. Now, I don't know which one is better (or none? :D ). Cloud 9 was actually coined by foreign surfers who used to keep their paradise a top secret destination for themselves. Alas! the word finally got around and Siargao has become part of a circuit for international surfing competitions.

And what about the term, Cloud 9? Its a local chocolate bar that is quite famous in the Philippines. The surfer dudes liked it so much that they appropriately named their secret eden after the chocolate brand.


Here's a link of Cloud 9 to the website version of our iPhone app: My Travel Philippines

Kayaking in Siargao

Here's the newest time lapse video I made. This time, its about the great kayaking opportunity in Siargao Island. The place is actually more known for surfing where consistent waves have often made it into a part of a circuit for international surfing events. Only this time, you're going to see more of the beauty of the place through paddling.

In some areas, we had to bring the kayaks on board motorized bancas because of the distance or the lack of time.

Included in the video are Guyam Island (the small island), Sohoton Lagoon in Bucas Grande Island, and the lagoons in Del Carmen.
