The Camera Islands

The Camera Islands, composed of Capones Island and a couple of other smaller islands, lie a few kilometers from the shores of Pundaquit, Zambales in the Philippines. The Camera islands are 2km offshore and Capones is 3 kilometers farther (5.2 km offshore). Capones and Camera are known for their white beaches, speckled with colorful crushed coral. Clear turquoise waters held us spell-bound. High rock cliffs beckon rappellers.

 

There are no resorts nor facilities on the islands. Tourists usually stay at a resort in Pundaquit, a small fishing village about 3 kms southwest of San Antonio where they can hire a boat to explore Capones Island.

 

My family and I went to one of these islands two weeks ago. It was so much fun!

Thank you, Noe.. The guy with the camera here in this tabblo is my older brother John. :)
Sirnicolay said at 11:58 p.m. on Apr 23, 2008:
He also has a fantastic set of shots of our vacation on these islands.. Too bad, he said he doesn't have time for tabblo yet.. Haha! I'll still convince him, though.. Hopefully he joins, too!
Noe said at 12:06 a.m. on Apr 24, 2008:
That would be great. Hope he can join us some day and the rest of your family too ;)

Looks like you had a wonderful time and you got some amazing photos!! Keep at your brother- my little sister finally got me here;-)
Sirnicolay said at 12:10 a.m. on Apr 24, 2008:
Hahaha! That would be a riot with all the Nicolays around.. But I think my bro can definitely be persuaded more than anyone else in the family. Have a good day, Noe! :)

Can Tabblo handle you both!!!??? I love the Hang Loose, his expression says anything BUT that. I love this Tabblo. Vey Serendipitious. It's Beautiful, yet, you create interesting tension with the sprinkling of B&W, the dog, and the shots of another photographer (your bro).
Sirnicolay said at 11:21 a.m. on Apr 24, 2008:
Thank you, Connie.. You should go there! It's a beautiful place.. Just look at this sunset tabblo in this place.. It's beautiful! http://www.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view/1430211/
Sirnicolay said at 11:23 a.m. on Apr 24, 2008:
Thank you, too, Pam! I thought it would be interesting to mix both colored and b/w pics together instead of creating two tabblos to separate them. Thanks! :)
