Witnessing a sunrise is a very challenging thing. Aside from you have to get up pretty early, sometimes, you just won't know if there's going to be a sunrise view at the location that you planned.
When we visited Cadapdapan Rice Terraces in Candijay, Bohol, Philippines, we were not sure if the sun would shine, it rained the night before. Our research said the sun will rise by 5:45 AM but it only showed up after six in the morning. It's a great feeling being able to see the sunrise as and the sun's rays just peaking through the clouds.
My husband and I had to take our photos first. Then I had to take multiple photos of the rice terraces and stitch them in post because we don't have that wide lens. Stitching in post is one of the ways that I am able to get a wide angle view pictures of our trip. This works most of the time especially if I have taken a good shot of everything, sometimes it won't work if I am in a hurry.
It was harvest time when we went there. I somehow miss the feeling of being able to get up early and get a glimpse of the sun in my face. Today, due to the pandemic and having a baby, I couldn't just go out, I have to consider my baby.
My brothers were with us during our visit. They too tried their own poses with the great view of the terraces and the sunrise. There were only a few locals here, the early morning was very quiet! We love the view and I hope to be able to visit here again soon this year.
