The Mindanao Ride

This was a Mindanao Ride for Peace IV organised by several Motorcycle club of the Phillipines inviting participants from Malaysia and the neighbouring regions. I was a participant from Malaysia from the Thunder Riders of Penampang Club. I brough along my Nikon D70 DSLR with a 18-70mm lens and took more than 1500 photos mostly of events. Apart from that I got some nice local scenes.  As I was riding motorcycle, I had to carry very limited items.


It was getting dark waiting to sail off from the port of Ozamis for Cebu when I captured these two boys fishing on a canoe alongside the ship. Taken at 57mm f 4.2 1/60 with exp bias -0.5 step.
Early in the morning as we reached the port of Cebu, the sea gypsies were swarming the ship.  I captured the mother and child begging for coins. She use the white sheet to catch the coins thrown by the passengers. The vignetting is obvious with the lens wide open. 


...while the men dived for any coins thrown into the water.

I saw this dried up fish on the floor of the ferry to Bohol Island
