moscow pics

i went to moscow more than a month ago. i just didn't have that enthusiasm to post pictures these days.

i got four lenses now, a new camera bag, an insanely powerful hard drive to store images, but i feel somehow unable to produce good images.

it's like the more techniques you know, the more you'd realize that you're talentless to begin with. the more you'd realize that you still have a lot to learn and then youll doubt if you really have "it" when you get serious about it. now you're aware that your photos are overexposed, or not in the proper framing, etc..

before, i was only taking photos just because i like documenting stuff. but now i really want it to be a serious hobby. i've invested so much money on this already, so i better take it seriously.

it's never too late. but i need to act soon.

due to some limited factors, im afraid i wasn't able to produce an image as nice as my train photo last year. we were using the metro every day but i never got the chance to get one decent train shot.

so here are the images that had been edited by lightroom, photomatix and photoshop cs3:






whilst these are the unedited images. as raw as they could get.

since im your forever friend, i'll tell you my honest opinion... the pictures are great... but i dont like the first picture, the post -- the lighting and the angle is not good... and the last edited picture, the one that looks like a mosque-castle thing, the image is nice but it does not look realistic...

sakit nga yan daw ng photographer when breaking from amateur to pro, sobrang dame mo na natutunan na techniques kaya naghahalo halo na...
