Time and again, the locals of Bicol romanticize their perfect Mt. Mayon as a moody muse when it comes to capturing her image on film. My workshop team and I were said to be very lucky whenever we would pullout our DSLRs to do a group shot with their dutiful muse in plain sight as background. Because we just had minutes in spare time to just snap a shot with her, we all counted our blessings. And she cheerfully obliges-most of the time! After our workshop concludedby 5:45 PM, our super gracious organizer in Caroline Madelar, quicky took us to a spot where the volcano is best seen. With fading twilight I got this best-effort shot at 6:53PM. Specs: Nikon D300 on a ledge (no tripod), 24mm, f/5.6, ISO 200, 25 seconds of exposure and tripped with a self-timer. Locals say that the best time to capture her grandeur is in early morning-after a night of light rain. Nevertheless, thank you Mt. Mayon for this shot! FYI the her crater glows red at night-so be forewarned...Majestic Mount Mayon Volcano in May
