If my memory serves me correct, I shot this quickly during a car ride climbing out of the epic mountains during golden hour. So the shutter speed had to be very fast.

I took this image in the epic mountain ranges of Northern Philippines. When people think of the Philippines, pine trees and chilly mountains, do not necessarily come to mind. Though that is the land of my birth. The Northern part of the Philippines, riddled with mountains covered in green pine trees. Similar to Northern California in a lot of ways - except tropical!
The light that falls on this part of the Earth during golden hour is incredible. I have seen some of the best sunsets of my life here.
While traveling, you will not always find yourself in the most ideal situation to take a great photo. Though if the light rays ROAR gold - be decisive and take the shot. Like an ancient mountaineer with a spear hunting the wild boars of the Pacific.
