Another roadside candid shot that I captured after the laps of seven years from my last visit in Hanoi, Vietnam. I like the warm colour of the late afternoon lighting. Waited for the luxury car to pass-by and blurred the car with a slow shutter speed.
The first image that I captured when I arrived Hanoi,Vietnam, on 25th May afternoon was this candid shot along the busy road side. The location was within the stone throws from the hotel that I put up. Though the backdrop of the image was as bright as the main subject, I foreseen the possibility of applying the burning in technique for the backdrop. Hence, the result that presented here is to my satisfaction after applying the manipulation.
Most importantly, is the facial expression of the servicing girl and her body language. All these decisive moments contribute to the candid shot that I like.
I think you need only two persons to start gossiping. Over here, five persons are too many to enjoy gossiping. The warmth lighting of the late afternoon sun touched the subjects has given the impact to the image besides the story content. This is an image that I captured during my visit to Mu Cang Chai-Xa Nam Khat, North Vietnam.
