Here's my most recent batch, obviously taken from the Pinatubo expedition. I just love the subjects we have there. It is not impossible to fall in love with the landscape and the people. While many were at the crater, I stayed behind and mingled with the natives. I was able to get more than enough material for this batch. It took me four days to process all of these.

Great shots! They are all very clear and seem to capture the emotion of the subject very well.

wonderful shots!!! You have a great eye for composition.

Side note: is it just me, or in #1 and #4, do the kids' faces look like they're painted with bronze makeup or something?

Thanks guys!

Here's teh basic PP workflow:


1. Adjust skin tone using hue/saturation.
2. Applied USM on the eyes
3. Dodge & Burn on some areas.
4. Created another layer for the vignette effect.
5. Finally Curve Adjustment to fine tune your image ;)

Lense used for my portrait shots - Canon 24-105 F4 IS USM

Thanks.
