Three hours, one hundred eighty photos and a billion stars. After 12 years, I've finally made it into the remote island of Batanes. My initial plan was to shoot a time-lapse till sunrise. But due to very unpredictable weather, I can't risk getting my camera wet, especially since it's just day 1 of our 5-day adventure. The whole island of Sabtang (where we're at) has no electricity from 12am to 6am, perfect for astrophotography. I tried to fight off the boredom and stayed awake as long as I can but I gave up around 3am, hence the very short video clip. If you look closely on the upper left part of the frame, you can faintly see the Milky way Galaxy. *Music by Nancy Wilson - Elevator Beat (No copyright infringement intended)
