Traditional Street Photography

@phuketrichard...

I did a quick contrast adjust just to enhance the blacks and not

a complete levels/exposure/contrast adjust to correct a pic.

As I stated it was a 10 second or less job in ACSsee & not

in Photoshop...where it would have taken me around 15 minutes

or longer. I did it just to show DAL a few pointers & am glad others

have chimed in with tips also.

Cheating here...Kandal Province, Kampuchea 1989.

The Vietnamese troops just left Phnom Penh a few

days earlier and the Khmer Rouge were still active

in the province. I went for a stroll along old HWY 151

(the dirt road you see in the pix) for about 20 kilometers;

here's 3 of perhaps 200+ exposures on that day.

Before the KR days the road was known

as a semi improved road (highway) and

paved with stones & bitumen good enough

for heavy vehicles to travel. It ran up to Kg

Chhanang...and further northwards into

Laos. But that was a very long time ago.

Sunshine,

Any chance you could do a thread on the same lines?

Thanks

Come Monday (not the Jimmy Buffet song) I'll see if it can be

accomplished...considering a thread like this really has

nothing to do with LOS but it does have a lot to do with

Southeast Asia and since LOS is a part of SEA....???

Watch this space...but not too closely as it's bad for

the eyes.

This photo was originally taken in colour but due to poor settings by me it came out badly exposed.

I tried to salvage it by changing it to B/W because I like the expressions on the ladies faces.
