First day of our 3 Day Ilocos and Cagayan Valley Trip

Last weekend we left manila for tuguegarao, it was a 10 hours bus ride, but luckily we ride inside a sleeper bus so the long trip was a breeze. When we arrived at tuguegarao we took breakfast on my parents place and rested for about an hour and traveled another 6 hours for Ilocos. =) .

It was funny because my Korean friend Roy did not slept all night because it was so cold inside the bus and he was only wearing shorts =P. I told you roy =)....

The first stop was in Paraiso ni Anton, its a mini falls just before Patapat Via duct bridge...





the next stop was a view deck showing the China Sea...

Before arriving at the Blue Lagoon, we stopped for several times to shoot....

When we arrive at Blue Lagoon, we rest for a while and took some shot of the shore, and we left and went to the wind mills.

When we returned to Blue Lagoon we take some pictures of the shore again and tried to compose some images with subjects

During the night, we have some beer and I tried to take an extreme Long exposure as requested by my friend sarrah, It was really hard because it was so dark so i have to light up some subjects and try to focus on the subject, next is to try several exposure periods. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, etc. because Metering is imposible since I am using Bulb Exposure. I have some good shots, but are too noisy, Next time i'll try this with a better lens and try to experiment more with the settings..
