I’m on the road again and its ironic that the photo I have posted is of a ship or ferry to be exact. Being “on the road” is being used here as a general description of being on travel again. The project were I am involved in is already on full swing and more data are required to be gathered thus the need to travel again. Given the volume of information that needs to be gathered, I will be on the road for a longer time this time. Hope to be able to find time to update my blog to keep you posted.
Anyway, for the first leg of my road trip, I left Cagayan de Oro early morning of Sunday to be in Ozamiz City. Will be in Ozamiz till the middle of the week and then will proceed to Pagadian City for the rest of the week. In as much as I would have wanted to take snap shots of the travel from Cagayan de Oro to Ozamiz (on the road), this was impossible as I was driving. The only time I got some respite from driving was during the short (around 15-25 mins.) ferry trip from Mukas in the Lanao del Norte side to Ozamiz City. I have been traveling this route a couple of times before in the past but haven’t really taken photos of the ferry or its surroundings. For the longest time I have wanted to have a photo set of my own. Being a Mindanawon and being a regular passer-by of this place, I just felt that I should have my own photographic version of this place. I finally got my chance today.
With the vehicle securely in placed at the parking bay I got off the vehicle and using a borrowed point and shoot digicam started to shoot. I did have my DSLR with me but I felt that it was too big and heavy and besides with so many people around, I felt uncomfortable to be shooting with all the attention on me. This was a time wherein I felt that a DSLR becomes a hindrance to effectively capture the sights and sounds of the moment. Having a smaller camera does have its benefits.
