George Cabig at the Taal Volcano Crater Lake rim, the highlight of the Taal Photo Trek that includes shooting the old ancestral houses in Taal town and beautiful sceneries in Batangas.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and sharing an opportunity to photograph the oldest town and the world’s smallest active volcano. Taal is best seen from the Volcano Island itself, hike up to the volcano’s rim and witness another magnificent lake inside the volcano. Our itinerary covers all the bases, so you’ll be seeing from every perspective: on foot, by boat, and, even on horses. The potential for great shots is virtually unlimited, and Treks are amazing photo experiences. You’ll make new friends and be exposed to all kinds of new information and techniques, good for “new-to-digital users” or aspiring professionals.
Photo trekkers shoot in all conditions, so make sure your bag is roomy enough for your camera too. Some of you are undoubtedly going to bring big, heavy backpacks filled with every lens you own. That’s fine, but also think that these days, with a single lens or two at the most, you can cover focal lengths from 18 – 200 mm without breaking your back. Put your energy into creativity instead of carrying heavy loads! Make sure you bring enough digital storage cards and extra rechargeable batteries. A tripod is always a good idea, although not mandatory. If you have a heavy, sturdy tripod, think about getting a travel friendly model instead. We are usually very casual on the treks. We will be both shooting mainly outdoors, so bring extra clothing. Dress comfortably, with good walking shoes. Make sure to have rain gear with you at all times to protect your camera bag and camera.

Sir Chris,i hope you will provide the participants an Identification Card that will serve as our remembrance for the Travel Photography Workshop. I’d like to suggests to use the “TAAL PHOTO TREK” – the one that appears once you click the “Taal Trek Field” on the website. If there is no way of putting the picture on it because we’ll be meeting only the day before the Trek, the complete name of the participant is perfectly all right. See you on the 18th of September for review of Basic Travel Composition and Photo Tips. I’m very Excited! Ty so much. – More Power FPPF!
