Ang Katipunan: A revolutionary society

The Katipunan, a Tagalog word literally meaning 'association', (abbreviated to KKK) was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos in Manila in 1892, whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The society was initiated by Filipino patriots Andrés Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa, and others on the night of July 7, when Filipino writer José Rizal was to be banished to Dapitan. Initially, the Katipunan was a secret organization until its discovery in 1896 that led to the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution.
The Tagalog word "katipunan," comes from the root word "tipon," a Tagalog word meaning "gather together" or "society." Its official revolutionary name was Samahang Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (English: Supreme and Most Honorable Society of the Children of the Nation, Spanish: Suprema y Venerable Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo). The organization has no affiliation with the racist group known as the Ku Klux Klan who are also associated with the acronym "KKK". This statue is so much more than just honouring out heroes. It's a testament of how we are capable of coming together to accomplish our goals. Amongst all the shots of the Fisheye, this one has the best resolution. Probably cause it was taken in broad daylight. But, I can't always depend on the sun for lighting. How do I take better photos with this camera? I hope you can all give me tips. I hope you enjoy my photos.
