After I posted some photos from the series Sarita in Red at one of the photography forums, one of the members suggested that the following photo may look better with the slightly distracting highlight from the round reflector being cloned out. I thought about it and gave it a try.
What I did was select [...]
Inle lake is another attraction worth visiting by photographers. It is recommended to take an internal flight to Heho from Yangon (we flew from Mandalay) because apparently the roads linking these places are pretty bad. From Heho we were transported by car to Nyaungshwe where we took a fast boat ride to our hotel, Golden [...]
I know this is an unhealthy practice but the uniqueness of smoking cherrot does make a lasting impression to the uninitiated, me included. I must add here again that somehow the number of female smokers of cherrot outnumbered the males from what I could see. I wonder if this is really true.

Manuel Librodo and I had another shoot of the very beautiful Sarita Marlou one day after the June 5th workshop by Manny. We had another fun session and here are some shots taken that day.
Model/MUA: Sarita Marlou
Photographers: Manuel Librodo, Marl and Banhup
Venue: The Mines, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This lens is well suited for environmental portraiture. Being a wide angle lens expect it to have some distortions if you do a close up as the following portrait will show. I personally have no problems with that as I have leant to live with some life's imperfections.
This portrait is of a 70+ [...]
As mentioned the monks do move quite fast so much so that I was at the back of the line most of the time. For this shot I was informed by our guide that they will be going through this area. I liked how the how the sunlight streamed through on the right and waited [...]
After our 'chasing' of the nuns for photographs it was the monks' turn the next day. (Story later) The monks were as expected much faster leaving us far behind before we knew it. Notice their bare feet.
This one was taken in Bagan, Myanmar.
We were following this group of nuns who went out doing their routine alms collection in the morning. They somehow could walk faster than us making trying to capture the moment a bit tougher. This has to be one of the best that I have so far. Hope you [...]
