Our Lady of Balanacan

Upon reaching the Port of Balanacan in Marinduque, one of the first things you will see is the gigantic statue of the Virgin Mary on a special pedestal built on the sea. It's a beautiful sight to behold especially on evenings when the statue is illuminated with lights.
I arrived in Mogpog at 9pm, and it was already very dark. Still I decided to take a picture although the vibration of the ferry can't make my hand steady. I don't have a VR lens nor a tripod, (too bad, I don't have Dodong Flores' built-in stabilizer in hands). I decided to use f2.8 and ISO 3200 of Nikon D300, with NR off. Still the shot took some two seconds to be recorded. It's a kind of noisy image but I don't have a choice :)
