You’re not Asian unless you flash the V sign automatically when you see a camera 🙂 Exploring the slums of Payatas near Manila, I stumbled upon this group of cheerful kids. The boy just couldn’t get his fingers to pry open. But no worries, sister is there to help. Don’t be afraid to apply the monochrome (black and white) filter. Colours distract, sometimes.
Ants can be difficult models, especially those with a prima donna attitude. When you shout instructions to move closer, they sulk and climb on your lens instead. Call the agent for a re-shoot the following week and they’ll claim he or she’s already dead from old age. This ant on a fibre optic cable was less than half a centimeter. For this model shoot, I used the Olympus Zuiko Digital 35mm macro lens with the EF-25 extension tube.
Fusion sea food fried rice from William’s Corner. The food is yummy but their greyish plastic table tops and fluorescent lighting aren’t exactly ideal for photography. So set your white balance to daylight or until the table turns a nice blue. I used the LED flash light from two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones to light this shot taken with the OM-D.
