JB is going thru a lot of changes...think the colors of the shops are really new...just went about 2.5 months back..wasn like that le

I don't remember the streets name but there area many Indians shops around the area. I guess you are right because I didn't notice it was that colourful previously.

most of the skys in the photos are very flat looking. plainly "white"..

#4 is too fake, like over ps to me

#1, #13 could be more interesting in another angle?

my morning comments

maxim · 28th May 2006

what camera did you use for this shots ?

Looks like you were in the alleyways, you are very brave man
But next time, i will join you

#4 -add PCL filter to reduce lights. BTW, it was about to rain that is why the entire enviroment is getting dark. FYI, the whole area is really painted with very vibrant colour.
#1 - good point

#13- the road is to narrow for you to capture the wall; I add 0.5x wide angle lense to my S3 IS.

Hi Maxim,

Just got my new Canon S3 IS + many filters.

Also quite scare at first but with my fake tattoo on my left arm... that seems to look fierce and not one dare to come near.

Sorry about #4 thought is #6. Set my flash (additional flash gun) to the stronger to make the flower looked overexpose.

since the sky is dark, why do you still wan to put on CPL? it doesn't make much effect. but its a good try taking pic in the middle of road

as for #4 mabe you can try doing a background strobe with ur ext flash to light up the shop else don use any flash. and i think the saturation is pulled too much imho

#1 would be better with out the tilt.

might wan to do some candid of the citizen there, from ur pic i see a lot of windows as subject. can try with rules of third as well, many of the pic have their subject in the centre from what i see

just my 2c

Dare not do candid over there. Later my fake tattoo can't save my life!

most pictures seem oversaturated and if coupled with strong contrast with black or white will look unnatural. some of the tilts can be corrected. and one of them with the silouette of the black bar cutting across the frame disturbed the central view.

but this one got nice potential. think you should go wider and include the pigeons on the top and give some space around the pigeons. slight tilt hard to avoid when shooting unless you are on level ground, use tripod and a fluid lever. but can be corrected on pp. aperture wise if can increase DOF, try to so that the pigeons will all be near the focus plane and remained sharp.
