Hi, Photography Lovers community! This time around, I will show you some places in my hometown back in the Philippines. All photos were taken using a Nikon D5100 with an 18-55mm lens. I used a tripod to achieve long-exposure photography. All photos are dated in 2014. Yes, this was 10 years ago. Hehe!

As a first-timer, I was impressed by the result. I love the smooth reflection on the water and the effect of the lights. Sure, you won't get this nice photo using an ordinary phone camera.
