ON THE ROAD | The Milkyway

20120612-CEBU-NEX5N-0006

It has always been one of my dreams to photograph the Milky Way. I have seen breathtaking photos of our galaxy in photography forums before and it never failed to amaze me. I’ve been trying on and off through the years to capture it but even just the task of locating it had always been hard enough. On my 12th day on the road, as I was boarding down a midnight bus in the town of Daanbantayan in the rural parts of Cebu, I finally spotted the Milky Way with my own naked eyes. Galaxy photo, checked!

  4. I love!!! Too bad it's only in our provinces that we get to see the stars like this. But oh well, yet one more reason to go home to or explore the provinces :)
