The rain in Solo has created more opportunity for me to capture colourful images from a vantage angle. I could shoot comfortably through the window of Pasar Gede. Solo, Central Java, without getting wet.
Though was raining, the becak rider could not even get a passenger.
To me, it is another gorgeous image depicts the lively hood of common Indonesian that I have captured.
During our visit to Solo, coincided with the celebration of the anniversary of the Pasar Gede. This image of young performer was captured in the market while she was waiting for her turn to appear in the parade. I fully utilized the green panel in the backdrop. Just waited for the right moment before I clicked my shutter. Though under the illumination of the dim natural light, yet the result is quite satisfactory to me. Especially,I like the catch light in both eyes.
The traditional market of Gawok is a busy market that worth photograph if candid photography is your cup of tea. As usual, you would expect a lot of distractions when you are trying to capture an image with strong visual impact. Firstly, is to capture the decisive moment. Secondly, is to subdue the unwanted details of the image that you have captured. De-saturation the surrounding area with computer software is applied here. “To Market, To Market..”,“Spoilt For Choice”,“Preparing For Breakfast”,“Straw Hats For Sale” are other excellent images of this market by Eng Loy.
