Nikon Shot | The Multi-Colored Heavenly Palace Cave

“A clever man can see the world from a cave much better than a stupid man can from the top of a mountain!”

~ Mehmet Murat Ildan

I thought this shot has nothing spectacular in terms of composition, nor am I a fan of the multi-colored lights this Heavenly Palace Cave or locally known as Thien Cung Cave of Halong Bay has. The cave itself though, a huge chamber, with winding pathways really has impressive stalactites and stalagmites. What made me choose this photo of the Heavenly Palace Cave has more to do with Nikon D7100’s high ISO capabilities. I wasn’t able to bring my tripod inside the cave and had to rely on the camera’s high ISO to get steady shots. This photo I took hand-held is already at ISO 8063 (and extended ISO mode) and it still has very impressive detail.

Nikon Shot | Up High Staring at the Sun

~ Friedrich Neitszche

This week’s Nikon Shot is from my new favorite place in Sagada, the Kamanbaneng Peak or popularly known as the Marlboro Mountain. I like this mountain so much I returned here again for the 2nd time last week after my first visit just a couple of months ago. This time we found an awesome vantage point overlooking the valley and with the Alab-Sagada border peak showing its height. I call this Nikon Shot “Up High Staring at the Sun” with our friend Mike looking straight into the sun.

Nikon Shot | Amidst the Flurry

Starting this week, Ironwulf En Route will feature a weekly Nikon Shot series. Images captured by Nikon cameras. Here’s the first one “Amidst the Flurry” taken with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens. Shot in Zamboanga City, I saw this girl enjoying her time feeding the pigeons. I had to place myself in an angle to isolate the subject away from the other crowd in the area and waited for the flurry of birds to happen.

The perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. There is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.
