Hive Cebu - Pitik Photography Shots #2
Anyways I wasn't really expecting any requests from the people in our town since to be quite frank I am just new literally. I just uploaded photography in just a few days and very few people follow me so basically people don't know me yet.
But sometimes life gives you challenges and opportunities. As I was walking my 2nd round around our old wharf 2 kids came up to me and asked me if I could "Pitik" them and I said sure. So I took a couple of shots at them and then took off after giving their thanks.
Next was in my 4 round around of old wharf, another kid riding his bike came to me and again asked me if I could "Pitik" him and again my response was sure. This kid knows his stuff coz he asked for my facebook page unlike the first 2 kids who asked me to "Pitik" them. So I gave him my facebook page so he can follow me and get his photo later or shall I say tomorrow.
You did get great and good shots. They are beautiful. And i love the fact that people were opened to letting you take pictures of them even when they don't know you. Again, beautiful shots you've got here.
Thank you for visiting my blog, yeah it surprised me as well really. I really thought people would be more wary about strangers especially kids but since the "Pitik" trend has been growing in the Philippines to the point when they see someone holding a DSLR camera then it would mean that you are a "Mamitikay" or Photographer 😅
I guess a lot of them love taking photos and seeing someone with a camera would make them opt for a shot. You are doing well.
There are a lot of photographers nowadays who are taking photos in the street randomly. It's good practice to find subjects out of nowhere and yes, eventually, you'll sharpen your skills even more. I think the man in the boat is the best for me.
I understand why you liked that photo, that really is a pure pitik coz he didn't know I was taking a picture of him so it really looks quite natural
But for me personally I like this one the most for these shots
This guy is a street dweller and most like has some mental illness in which we, sadly filipinos, are ignorant about. It was such a great shot for me coz he was actually looking at the direction of the see but when I pressed the shutter button he suddenly looked at my direction and with a smile at that.
that was great photos @pinkhub. Great job
