Very nice Ted. Heard a lot of good things about Bantayan Island, nice to see what's there.

Ted Ramasola · December 18th, 2009, 04:52 AM

Thanks Michael.

You should go there one of these days. The people there are so kind and hospitable.

Ooh, nice location. What UW Case or bag did you use for the cave shot?

Cheap Dicapac Mike. These hdslrs truly revolutionizes everything as its size allow you to get cheaper accessories.

Thats true. I heard that comment from a lot of people.

Brian Luce · December 19th, 2009, 11:24 PM

Oh wait, I'm thinking of Malapascua! It's okay, Bantayan is also like old Boracay!

Alvin Ang Teng Cheong · December 19th, 2009, 11:41 PM

very nice, makes me want to make a trip there! Did you use a slider for some shots?

Ted Ramasola · December 19th, 2009, 11:48 PM

Its a mini dolly I made from plywood. Can do repeatable curved shots using a laser pointer. I have the construction instructions here.

p.s. Oh, its just one short flight direct to Cebu International Airport from Sing. :-)

Alvin Ang Teng Cheong · December 20th, 2009, 10:19 AM

Hi Ted,

the mini dolly / skater looks solid! I agree, it can do lots of nice curved dolly shots. We have one in the studio as well, but we were one of those that forked out hundreds of dollars just for one. :P

Yeah, Cebu is so nearby! I think there's a budget airline that goes there, that should whittle down the costs! Now all i need is to find some time. :)

Ted Ramasola · December 20th, 2009, 11:06 AM

Yeah, I think its silkair. Or there is Cebupacific. Call me up if you do. I'm on the next island.

It's the WP-S10 I presume? We used it for stills (Nikon) on my trip to Panglao a month ago. What do you use to clean the plastic lens port? Water tended to stick to it even after wiping it with a microfibre cloth.

Ted Ramasola · December 21st, 2009, 12:06 AM

Yup, you are right Mike. Its that model. I used just microfibre. So far I had no problems. Do drop by the studio next time you're on the island.
