This sunset glow on Bantayan Island was just unbelievable. That deep purple sky reflecting perfectly on the wet sand made the whole place feel like another planet. I'll take island nights like this any day! #BantayanIsland #Cebu #Philippines #PurpleSky #TravelPH #photography #sunset

Photo Description and Alt Tag

Description:

A wide, low-angle photograph captures a surreal and vibrant twilight scene on the beach of Bantayan Island. The sky is dominated by a deep gradient of purple and magenta, fading to a sliver of orange-pink on the horizon. The foreground is the wet, reflective sand of the low-tide beach, mirroring the sky's vivid colors and creating deep, glossy purples that reflect the light. Small, dark rocks and tidal debris are scattered across the wet sand. In the mid-ground, a dense row of palm trees and the roofs of a resort or buildings are silhouetted against the bright horizon, with a few warm, yellow lights illuminating the center structures. The entire scene is bathed in a dramatic, otherworldly purple glow. The photographer's copyright "hendrix valmoria © 2014" is visible in the bottom left corner.

Cool evening vibes in Surigao City. That mix of dark clouds and the last bit of sunset was pretty neat to see. The beach was so quiet too. Just enjoying the chill before nightfall. 😌 #Philippines #LandscapePhotography #NightPhotography #Sunset

A dramatic and serene photograph captures a twilight scene on a rocky beach in Surigao City. The sky is a powerful spectacle, dominated by a large mass of swirling, dark blue clouds that create a sense of depth and impending night. Below, a thin band of vibrant orange and pink light glows on the horizon, hinting at the last moments of a sunset. The calm ocean reflects these colors, with a soft, misty quality that blurs the line between water and light. In the foreground, a shore of smooth, wet pebbles and rocks leads to the sea.

This is a moment I'll never forget from Mactan Island in Cebu. The sky and the sea were a perfect match, and the boats just added to the whole magical vibe. Sunsets like this are what make the Philippines so special. 🇵🇭✨ #Cebu #Philippines #SunsetLover #TravelPH #ColorsOfTheSky #LandscapePhotography

A breathtaking photograph captures a vibrant sunset over the tranquil waters of Mactan Island in Cebu. The sky is a dramatic canvas of brilliant colors, with streaks of deep red, fiery orange, and rich blue clouds stretching across the frame. Below, the calm ocean acts as a perfect mirror, reflecting these intense colors and creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Dozens of traditional Filipino outrigger boats (bancas) are scattered across the water, their dark silhouettes adding depth and a sense of peaceful human presence to the vast natural scene.

there are very, very few things in our reality that is completely wrong in EVERY context. deliberately starving children for political gain is one of them.

Hendrix Audrim @audrim.bsky.social · Jul 24

i would love to see all the purists in the comments face every single talented actor, crew, and staff member who made this series possible and tell them in their face that no, despite your dedication, we won't support your show. it's easy to sit tall when you're not the one being disrespected.

Hendrix Audrim @audrim.bsky.social · Jul 24

yes, let's disregard the hard work and dedication of the hundreds of talented actors, staff, and crew who made the series possible because we need to put it all in the context of a single person. it's not selfish at all. just being on the moral high ground, correct?

the point is, tech changes and while generative AI has ethical issues, it is likely here to stay like all other tech advancements.

and i hate how there's so little i can do about it. i've used dslr, but that was fine bc there are no ethical issues. i never used photoshop, and never will use gen-AI.

Hendrix Audrim @audrim.bsky.social · Jul 23

we've now reached the point where people are saying photoshopped images are better than AI-generated images.

back then, it was lightroom global edits are better than photoshop retouching.

before that, it was film was better than digital.

Throwing it back to a cool moment with the amazing singer-songwriter Kitchie Nadal! She's just as captivating off stage as she is on. Loved catching this candid shot of her signing an autograph during one of her concerts in Cebu! #KitchieNadal #FilipinoMusic #OPM #PortraitPhotography

Boracay nights hit different! ✨ Absolutely loved capturing this serene scene. That deep blue sky, the crystal-clear water, and the feeling of peace and calmness just make everything feel so magical. Missing these island photowalks! 🇵🇭💙 #Boracay #NightPhotography #Photography

A breathtaking night photograph captures the serene beauty of a Boracay coastline under a deep blue twilight sky. On the right, a lush, dark cliffside is illuminated by warm, inviting string lights and lampposts along a path, casting a glow on the palm trees and the rocky shore below. The foreground features a rugged rocky coastline meeting the remarkably clear, turquoise waters, where the sandy bottom is visible through the shallow, translucent water. Further out, the ocean deepens to a rich blue, with scattered boats silhouetted against the distant horizon and a small, dark island or rock formation breaking the surface. The sky is a gradient of deep blues, hinting at stars, creating a magical and peaceful atmosphere.

Absolutely mesmerized by this sunset view over a river as we were traveling in Ilocos Norte. 🧡💙 The sky was just showing off, painting everything in the most incredible colors, and the water was like a perfect mirror. #Philippines #SunsetLover #GoldenHour #NaturePhotography #Photography

A picturesque wide-angle shot captures a tranquil river landscape at dusk, showcasing a vibrant sunset over Ilocos Norte in the Philippines. The sky is a gradient of warm and cool tones, transitioning from a deep blue at the top with scattered dark clouds, to a fiery orange and yellow at the horizon. The smooth, reflective surface of the river mirrors these striking sky colors, creating a serene, almost dreamlike effect. In the foreground on the left, a dark railing curves along the riverbank, leading the eye into the scene. Silhouettes of lush trees and distant land formations line the riverbanks under the fading light.

Missing those magical Boracay sunsets! 🌅 Look at that incredible sky fading into the calmest blue waters. Moments like these, just watching the colors change and feeling totally at peace, are what make island life so special. ✨ #Boracay #Sunset #IslandLife #Philippines #NightPhotography #BlueHour

A breathtaking wide-angle photograph captures the serene twilight hour over the calm, deep blue waters of Boracay Island. The sky transitions from a rich, dark blue at the top to lighter shades of blue, pink, and orange at the horizon, where the last glow of sunset fades. In the mid-ground, a series of old, golden-hued wooden pilings or posts emerge from the water on the right, casting subtle reflections. The water itself is incredibly still, creating a smooth, almost glassy surface that reflects the sky's colors. In the far distance on the left, faint silhouettes of boats or islands can be seen against the horizon. The overall scene evokes a sense of peace and natural beauty.

This one of my favorite photos – the raw emotion of the little one contrasting with the quiet strength and care of the older child. It's a powerful reminder of the everyday stories unfolding all around us that we often do not notice until captured in photography. #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhite

Check out this tight squeeze! This guy on his motorcycle expertly navigated the narrow gap between the stores in this bustling alleyway. It's all part of the everyday hustle and bustle here. Definitely a different pace and perspective! #CebuCity #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhite

Another shot from a photowalk in Cebu! That house in the background—it's tilted and looks like it's been around for ages, maybe even rotting a bit. But what's amazing is how life just keeps going on around it. It’s a perfect reminder of life's chaotic beauty. 🇵🇭 #StreetPhotography #Philippines

Throwing it back to a night photowalk in Cebu City a while ago. It was so cool to see the city come alive at night. I caught this shot of people just chilling and going about their night, with everything else a blur of motion. #photography #StreetPhotography #NightPhotography #UrbanPhotography

traveling isn't just about snapping pics for the gram, it's genuinely essential for leveling up your perspective. when you actually get out there and experience different places and cultures firsthand, you absorb knowledge and become more empathetic...

the latest #GoogleTrends US summary is both sad and kinda heartening for me. on one hand, I'm glad that both adults and kids are searching for these. on the other hand, some of the questions are just so sad as a reflection of the current reality...
