Some more snaps from a new user

As my 1st post was deleted with my consent due to some issues with a nasty poster, I'm putting in some more fresh snaps mostly street activities.

Homeless people living in make shift dwellings in Manila Bay right in the heart of Manila.



Make their living gathering mussels






Fishing





Hawkers





Photographers for hire

Hi Gil,

I really like the "Gathering Mussels" and "Fishing" images. The colors are very vibrant. Are you doing post on your files to make them pop as they do here, or is this a feature of the camera?

Thank you,

I thought all the photographers on Roxas Boulevard had gone.

The images have an amazing clarity to them, colours are also extremely nice with out being over the top.

No saturation done only exposure and temp in Lightroom 3 and curve, level and unsharp mask in CS4. The B&W is done in silver efex from Lightroom exposure adjustment. Thanks for the kind words dof and Mike.

Mike still a lot of them in Luneta. They do digital now, what you see on their necks are just for display though there are times that they get requests from customers for B&W film shots.

I just hope it's raw files can be supported soon.

Thanks for sharing the photos - it's been 12 years since I've been back to Manila and so I'm way overdue for a visit.
Enjoy the camera, btw.
