So today we went up to an area called Santo Tomas, which is the highest point in Baguio City. It really was quite amazing up there, the view was amazing. Sadly it was hazy when you'd look down on the city, that kind of ruined it. You can see the ocean when it is clear, but it wasn't nearly clear enough. Anyway, I took quite a few shots, but really this is the only one that I like, therefore it is the only one I am posting. I can post others later if any of you really would like me to... Yeah... This shot is full of win, or at least to me it is.


On another note... I have something on my damn sensor and that pisses me off to no end. You see? Its nasty and very easily noticeable. And no, the shot isn't crooked, the telephone pole is crooked.

Guess you didn't read the part where I clearly said I have something on my sensor and it pisses me off... And I would clean it, but I didn't bring anything to clean it along with me for my visit in the Philippines.

Really? The sky looks right to me, the stuff below looks under exposed, and the tower itself had the sun shining on it. I will try to mess with the exposure to see what happens.

Weird, I find it more dark than over exposed :lol: maybe both out monitors are screwed! Like onepagememory said, remove that stain! lol jk.

What are those white thingies in the background? Haha they look funny. It's an interesting picture, but for some reason it just looks dark for me! Could be my issue though. Don't you hate when those poles are crooked?

Oooh, now I see it... but the rest looks so much darker... how would you fix that? Some kind of filter maybe?

Yeah sure, ND filters would help, as would shooting it for HDR.

Even picking a better time of day would too ;)

I believe those are bags of just whatever they were harvesting...

Ah... Yep, a bit blown out. I have ND filters on the shopping list for when I get back tbh. Sadly I cannot pick the time of day for when I shoot here, being that I am just on vacation. Chances are I will only see the things I've seen once.
