The photos are lousy, I just wanna post them hehe.
I've never used the digital zoom function of the cam before, but figured that it's my only shot at getting a close shot inside a car or from far away since my cam only has 3x optical. Hence the grain, lack of sharpness, etc..
The car's windshield was awefully dirty this morning as well :P
Had fun though, traffic eh... Enjoy (if you can).

Had a couple of shots of MMDA and Pasay officers slacking off, but nakatalikod lahat.
Thanks for looking :)

I like the B&W effect on the photos. Grainy but they're nice. :)

I agree with Earl. The grain adds a good feel to your photos. :)

Thanks guys, I desaturated the image and adjusted the curve in Lab Mode...
Most, if not all of them were taken with 11x digital zoom (dunno ilan na yung focal length supposed to be at that point), approx 5-6 cars ahead.
Wish I was able to snap the pic of the traffic officer, he was picking his nose with the cap of his ballpen (I assume he uses when he issues a ticket near the airport stoplight?) hehe... Gross...

Nice set. The use of black and white highlighted it more. Feeling ko, these are pictures that would rightfully accompany a feature story about Manila. :)

Any ideas how to ask these guys for a shot while you're inside the vehicle? Medyo shy ako asking them for a pic hehe.
