Leaving Manila after a few days of some amazing street photography we headed out in our private bus, north towards Baguio, the summer capital of Luzon.<\/p>\n

I’ll drop in two final portraits from the streets of Manila, just because I want you all to know that the Philippines is such a great place to meet and photograph people. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and there are smiles everywhere. Obviously the children are easy to photograph, but the adults are equally as happy to have their photos made.<\/p>\n

As I write this post, we are in Vigan, having\u00a0 just finished an amazing road journey thorough the mountains of Northern Luzon. It’s an incredible landscape of towering mountains, lush tropical zones and cool, misty pine forests.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was near Baguio, where we witnessed strawberry cultivation. This was an opportunity to use fill flash.<\/p>\n

Flash is often thought of as something to use when shooting in dark situations, but actually, I find it most useful during mid day, when there are shadows on the faces of of subjects who are wearing hats. In these two photos, I used fill flash and stopped down my lens to balance the exposure of the sky (underexposed to bring out the blue) and the face of the subject.<\/p>\n

The use of flash during mid-day sun allows you to keep shooting, in other than the “golden” hours of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
