La Antigua Market 4
I love this shot. Not only for
the color and intensity, but for the young woman's strength and confidence, engaging me
directly with a look of challenge while she carries this huge sack on her head. In
all likelihood, she also has a child in a sling on her back. On a technical note, this photo also illustrates the great power of shooting RAW images with a digital camera. As the original image below shows, the shot was overexposed by at least one stop, with large portions of the sack washed out. Work with Adobe's Raw Converter, however, together with some Photoshop work, rescued the image. |
