This image was shot under our garden's mango tree, where local ants have settled their colonies. The weather here in the Philippines is pretty hot, so I give them water and make the most of our encounter to take some macro photos.

"3 humpback whales on their annual migration north. These whales can weigh up to 40 tonnes. Just to give you some perspective a standard car weighs about 2 tonnes! I’ve been blessed enough to be in the water with these incredible creatures, but near the shark-infested waters of Fraser Island, they are more safely observed from the air. No matter how your day is going, your mood is always increased when you get to witness these gentle giants."

"The Indian flying fox is one of the largest bats in the world. The heat of the summer makes their body temperature go up quickly, so once in a while, they dive in the water to cool down. I waited for almost 2 hours to take this photo."

"The first rains of the year make the rivers start flowing again, bringing to the ocean the mud and trash from the mountains. The water is then clearly separated into two: the brownish muddy river water and the deep blue ocean water. The fishes are attracted and get closer to the shore. And where there are fishes, there are fishermen. I borrowed a drone from a friend to continue my other photo project: photos of Timorese fishermen that use apnea technique to fish. I already had underwater photos as well as photos “on the sea level”, so aerial photos was the last step of the project. At sea level, the division of the muddy river and the ocean water is not as clear as from above, so I had no idea what to expect from up there! After launching the drone and face the camera downwards, I was stunned with what I was seeing: the thick texture and brownish color of the river contrasting with the soft texture and deep blue color of the ocean was not something that I have ever seen in my life!"

In order to capture this scene, I and my friends woke up at 4 am and walked about 2km barefoot from the shore to the beach to wait for the sunrise and the fishermen to start their work."

"Since Iceland is not called the "Land of Ice and Fire" for nothing, I wanted to show with this picture that these two elements have more in common than it might seem at first view, and that they can also be mutually dependent, as in the case of Kerið crater lake. Today, most scientists believe that the Kerið was once a cone-shaped volcano that exhausted its magma reserves after a massive eruption, which eventually led to the collapse of its foundation. This resulted in its current formation, which allowed the crater to fill with groundwater over the centuries. After me and my girlfriend first admired the beauty of the crater lake from below, we wanted to capture its enormous dimensions from its highest point. Embedded in the endless, icy landscape of Iceland, the lake radiates a sense of calm from this perspective, which at first glance gives no hint of its fiery past."

I had less than 20 min to take this shot because the other group members wanted to head to another spot. I was literally running around this place to find the best perspective. Despite frozen hand and feet, I was happy with what I created in that little time frame."

"Stepwells are wells or ponds in which the water is reached by descending a set of steps to the water level. They may be multi-storied with a bullock turning a water wheel to raise the well water to the first or second floor. Stepwells are examples of the many types of storage and irrigation tanks that were developed in India, mainly to cope with seasonal fluctuations in water availability. Toorji Ka Jhalra (Toorji’s Step Well) in Jodhpur was built in the 1740s by Queen Maharaja Abhay Singh’s Consort, continuing an age-old tradition that Royal women would build public waterworks. As with all step wells, the steps follow the fluctuating water table down to provide easy all-year-round access. I walked down the narrow steps to get to the bottom of the well. When I was there, I noticed these kids on the opposite site wearing the same shirt and a teenage girl, who was busy with her cellphone. These step-wells are also a popular hangout spot for the youth. And I wanted to capture that in an artistic way."

On the other hand, the courage of these athletes to face these gigantic waves was very impressive."
