I took these photos one hot morning when I declared that it was a bad day. I was stuck in a rut and I needed a quick fix to get out of it.

The Palengke is my Manila Bay! How can you go wrong with the palengke? all the chaos and charm. I can practically smell the stench and hear all annoying market audio...I LOVE IT!

Here are some of mine so C&C and post some of yours!

Oops! sorry bro. John Stanmeyer is one of my favorite photographers. I have this bad habit of emulating styles of my favorites :p

I ain't cool. The palengke is cool! wahahaha wtf.

MODS please merge our threads :Grin:

nice! it really captures the rich colors of the market! :)

are there no manong guards that were threatened by your cam?

great set Tammy! *kidding* =b

the light streaming down in the second photo is a keeper! but i wish i saw more of what was going on in the shadowed part IMO.

@ raymondgayondato: No Manong Guards in the old market of Cambodia. YAY. I tried Edsa Central before and they mistakened me for Mrs. Campos (?) damn them for thinking I'm too old

great set Tammy! *kidding* =b

Shut up TOK! hehehe hey! you better go to the third EB or kawawa ka sa akin. I hope Ria can go to.

About the streaming light snappy...I know! right?! I seriously could have done better. MUST.ALWAYS.BE.PATIENT.

Tammy,

Hahahaha! i'll be there! =) wouldn't want to catch flack from you! =b

I also liked that one, though it could have more impact if you move closer and lower to the lady eating something in a bowl. IMHO.:)

love the market series tammy. when i saw the 1st pic, i thought it was in manila. :)

I, too, like the second shot... and the first!!!

@ Aris Guerrero: Thanks! Actually all palengkes look the same to me, diba?. So it was a challenge to take photos that will distinguish the Siem Reap Old market from the rest.

I wanted to include this because of the flag and headgear hehehe

but I could've done better with the timing and the girl on the right side is distracting. *slaps forehead*

@ DinDin: Thanks Achi! next time sabay na tayo papunta Cambdoge or Vietnam! yay ;-)

Wow! It's perfect! I love the lighting on this scene with the smoke creating shafts of light. Has a National Geographic feel to it.

Wow thanks for the comment Bernard. But yeah I still want to hit my head against the wall whenever I see this photo. Classic "SAYANG!" picture

Tammy, your sets are always so real but light... They're always enjoyable... Love the pig shot and the general glee of your unknown subjects :D

@tammy- i love the 2nd pic! nice series!

I like all the shots Tammy! Market na Market! Congrats! :D

Thanks Guys!

great shots tammy! i like the strong colors in the first pic and the light coming from the opening in the roof from the second photo. bravo! :D

Sorry, I don't get it. Why is this a "sayang" shot? It seems fine as is. :Shock:

@ Hochi: thanks for sharing!

@ Adam: THANKS! Oy bro kamusta ka na? punta ka sa Silver Lens sometime between Christmas and New Year. And remind me i-singil ang Candy Mag para sa photos mo

@ Miguel De Leon: What the? whatever happened to honest to goodness bashing? ah este constuctive criticism? hehehehe I would've preferred another perspective or try different settings but thanks anyway man. Really appreciate it

Ok, now that you mention it, maybe a higher angle would allow more "light rays" into the frame. Tipong stand on a chair more to the left. :Grin:
