photo shoot of my lovely wife at virgin beach, laiya, batangas

here is my best shot of my wife for the whole day.....

we had a beach front cottage and had a good view of the sea. got up early so that i can have a shot of the sunrise by the beach. taken with the canon 40d with 10-20mm sigma lens.

we went to laiya, san juan, batangas last july and stayed at virgin beach resort. the resort was very nice and compared to the other resort in the area, i think virgin resort is the most well maintained in the whole stretch of beach in laiya.

here is a shot on available light with canon 40d using 70-200mm f2.8 L IS
