I was looking at some of my sunset shots taken at Coastal Lagoon a couple of days ago, and imagine my astonishment when I saw a giant cross sticking from the top of the "Cavite mountains." Gosh, I was wrong all along..... those mountains are actually in Bataan!  MT. SAMAT MEMORIAL CROSS. The "Dambana ng Kagitingan" at Mt. Samat (Pilar, Bataan) is distinctly outlined against the golden sky as seen from across Manila Bay. COASTAL LAGOON, MANILA BAY, August 20, 2009, 5D2 + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, 1/160 sec, ISO 320, 475B/3421 support, near full frame resized to 1200x800 |

Wow, beautiful landscape capture @700mm. That's quite a long shot, imagine from Coastal Lagoon to Bataan.  |

Thanks, Toto and Rey! If you're curious how far the cross was from my shooting position, here's a Google Earth Map of the shooting distance. ;D ;D ;D  |

That's amazing, 52.3 klicks must be a record for a landscape shot.  |

Is the cross coming from the same place as the Memorial at Capas where we go birding in Lubigan? Nice shot Romy and if it is the same place its a lot closer than by car.

Hi Ely, The "Dambana ng Kagitingan" (cross) is at Mt. Samat, Pilar, Bataan which is a fair distance from Capas, Tarlac. |

Very impressive, Romy. The color of the sky is great as well.

Fantastic shot! If did not describe it, it looks like a wide angle shot taken from a boat near the shores of Bataan! |

Thanks, Bong..... I was trying to replicate this shot with the beta 7D when I did a quick practice session at Manila Bay prior to the Paralaya sorties, but seeing conditions were bad.
