With the long vacation concomitant to Christendom's observance of the "Holy Week," we expect photos from the vacation of FPC members. My family enjoyed the countryside and the beaches of Ilocandia, with me being the full-time driver, part-time baby-sitter and full-time photographer. I enjoyed the landscape and the photo-journalistic images I took with my camera and I can't wait to share them.
Meanwhile, let's look at what our members want us to see in PoW! this week. I see the usual contributors and some infrequent ones. However, looking beyond the personalities, I concentrated on the images and found some gems, including one that is really relevant to the "Holy Week," i.e., "Penetencia 2008" by Eric. Other picks are Marvin's shot of Machi in flowing white dress during their Cagbalete trip. Marvin has the eye, but I can't understand why he doesn't title his images; he seem to be very visual, setting aside the rather encumbrance of exercising the mind by thinking of thought-provoking titles. Therefore, I just give his PoW! photo the title "Where's the Party?"
Ken's photo was nominated by Rey Nocum and gives a spice of action to our selection. "Jenny" by Don is a rather raw photo, considering the "as shoot" skin texture and a seemingly obligatory facial expression. On the other hand, it is a very good material for those wanting to learn studio lighting. He applies a subtle Rembrandt and backlighting that brought out the hair texture on the right side of Jenny and kicking her off the background.
Finally, Alex sends another one to PoW! with his self-portrait on a backlit wall, which I would say is rather creative. He uses 2 speedlights, one in ETTL and another in manual zoom and power. With that setup, Alex shows a substantial degree of mastery of Remote Lighting System or RLS.
This is NOT IN ANY WAY A PHOTO CONTEST. We just want to honor Photographic creativity :D
