Begging on the Stairs

Categories: [HDR]  [people]  [Philippines]  

Taken at about 6 am in a pleasant morning, this blind man was preparing his things for a day's worth of begging on Baguio Cathedral's high stairs, which leads down to Session Road. This is another 'fake' HDR image using a single JPEG and opening it twice in Photomatix to generate HDR. Some adjustments such as levels, curves, saturation, burns and a slight vignette are done in CS3.

• ah, love this shot. i can almost see where you stood and took this. the massive use of space for the dull-looking stairs makes it looks like its drowning the man on the side, but it all looks solid and real from here. he seems to be aware that he's being photographed but then of course not. love the concept and the angle and the subtle saturation of color.

• Again, very nice work. You can actually make a series over this photos and i exhibit mo. I can imaging how cold Baguio is now, naka sweater pa yung beggar. Ganda ng compo and hanep sa texture yung picture
