Again as a result from my bloghopping and profile stalking, I was able to discover a fellow local Cebuano also new to field of photography. This guy is amazing when it comes to nature photography. His flower shots were already breathtaking, and what was even more impressive was the fact that they were taken with a point and shoot camera. Another photographer worthy of feature, Aldrene shared to me his story of these pictures. He told me how he was supposed to be using a DLSR however it had a fungal infection (seriously!) and so he had to use a simpler camera. But his shots a good example of “it’s not the camera, it’s the photographer.”
