#261 Rush Hour


The holidays are over and it's back to work for most of us. Welcome back to the morning traffic at rush hour. But in the flood plains of Candaba, the rush hour was... well... somewhat different.

It was shortly after sunrise when I found myself walking down this dirt path through the swamps. I thought the cloud-mottled blue sky and the road disappearing into the horizon would make an interesting composition... but I was missing a focal point. As luck would have it, the morn's silence was shattered by a sputtering farm buggy rushing a group of farmers to work. I stepped aside to let them pass, after which I quickly recomposed my shot to include them in my composition. You really have to experience the rush hour out here. Enjoy.

(Pixel-peepers: When the light is low on the horizon, forget shooting into it or directly away from it. The harsh directional light will make your landscapes look flat and uninteresting. Try pointing your camera 90 degrees from the direction of the light, and your landscape shots will come alive.)

But wait, there's more...
For those who've inquired about buying prints of my postcards, you may purchase them directly from master printmaker Arnel Murillo (murilloarnel@yahoo.com), one of the country's foremost fine-art printmakers.  Arnel uses archival inks and museum-grade paper to ensure his prints will not fade. You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country. But if you feel generous, help me uplift the lives of the Children of Payatas.  No donation is too big or too small. Get in touch with Fr. Aldrin Suan at aldrinsuan@yahoo.com of the Vincentian Missionaries in the Philippines. As always, thanks and enjoy.)
