for everyone

Who hasn't been to Baguio? Very few, i guess. I've been to the Mountain City countless times -- especially now that i'm attending 3 criminal cases there. Last weekend, i went up together with my family and asked myself, "how can Baguio look different?"

Here are some of my shots. Hope you enjoy them.

Camera used: Nikon D300
Lenses used: Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, Tokina 12-24 f/4 and Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye.

P.S. I can't wait for my Cokin filters to arrive. Will be delirious to have them in Bora.:P

ganda nang photos mo sir, Sir yung iso 1600 malinis parin? how about 3200?

raymond42n wrote on Mar 31

Thanks enzo! Yung 1600, super-linis pa rin. Yung 3200, expected na parang "film-grainy" ang dating, but definitely still usable.

Thanks brian. Image was taken at 6:21am yesterday. The background is not a washout; it's fog.

Sir Archie i like your subtle PP technique here it gave Baguio a different look. :)

raymond42n wrote on Apr 1

Thanks gracielle! In fairness, that pic is actually my fave. Taken at 6:50AM on 30th March. Fog as background, backlighted, cloudy WB.

Thanks, Christian. Ummm... the color variants are due to simple WB changes in-camera (with the exception of the Tangerine Sky photo). PP are also very minor (recovery, definition and vibrancy using Aperture 2. NO saturation boosts). The vignetting in some photos are also post-processed to add drama.

No filters, mickey. WB set at Cloudy. The 2.8 aperture of the fishy lens does the rest. ;)

Thanks bro! Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, WB at Shady. Program mode lang. The vignetting effect is through Aperture 2. ;)

No filters po. Intentional vignetting using Aperture 2.

View from Paradise at Mount Rainier with blue filter.

Archie, I copied this one for Cheryl's project. They'll never believe it's the Philippines. It reminds me of the view on the road to Paradise on Mount Rainier.

Thanks! It actually reminds me of a scene in "The Last Samurai". ;)

raymond42n wrote on Apr 17

@aoh
Thanks po! Ewan, i think i'm just kinda lucky. That "Morning Stroll" shot was a spur-of-the-moment. I was walking back to the restaurant having having a number of "bleeech" sunrise shots, when i looked back --- and decided to hide the sun behind the tree in the middle of John Hay Manor.

Thank you sir for presenting the cool mountain city in a different light. It looks so hot in there with the preponderance of warm colors.

Thank you too for the comment. I just simply switched the camera to a "shady" white balance setting. The thick fog that morning did the rest. :)
