I just recently bought my first SLR when I took this picture. I had to pick up my son at Legaspi City, Albay, Philippines when I realized I still have time to kill. So armed with a Canon 400D and a 18-55mm Canon lens, I tried to find out how to get to the Cagsawa Ruins. I never thought I'd be doing an HDR as I pretty much don't know anything about photography back then... but then again the result was pretty much ... pretty but of course not perfect.
It was really a sad day for the Philippines, my family included. A flash flood engulfed Metro Manila and left thousands of families homeless or devastated. Our house alone almost went under water. Almost all our belongings were destroyed. Everything that we have worked hard for were left unusable. I'm just glad that every member of my family were safe and that we still have our house.
After the flood has subsided, much of Metro Manila was left with stacked cars, ruined homes, thick mud, and garbage, garbage, garbage. It's time to clean up! It will be difficult to clean though as there is still no electricity and water.
