Lino Photography

Last March 5, the awarding for the 15th Hot Air Balloon festival photo contest was held at 6750 Ayala Ave.  I didn’t know I was a finalists until Ms. Daphne of Chevron texted me last march 3 the invite for the event…

Although I didn’t land in any major prize, having three of my photos in the finalists category is a good feeling enough knowing that there were 500 entries to choose from…

Here are the three photos that were included in the finalists category…

This years theme for the contest was “bayanihan”…

Good thing I won a Caltex jacket in the raffle… woohoo. Thanks Sir Ickhoy and the rest of Chevron staff…

more photos from the 15th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta…

I was able to go for the first time at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark Field Pampanga.  I took a bus going to Dau, went down to the dau terminal and rode a jeepney going to the main gate of clark field, from there, I took another jeep to get inside the clark field.  Here are some of the photos I took.
