"Hi-ho... Hi-ho... it's off to work we go..." And so the Disney tune goes...
On the way to Cauayan City in Isabela, we chanced upon folks working in a rice field along the road. Shooting from a single vantage point, all our pictures started to look alike, so I walked further afield to explore other opportunities. Just when I discovered this pile of bags and slippers in the bush, a bee-line of farmers were walking towards me. I thought a unique composition was about to unfold. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: Hyper-focal distance focusing is a concept from the days of film photography, where you couple a small enough aperture opening with an interesting enough foreground object. When you get it right, both near and far objects appear equally sharp. Worth a try.)

Arnel uses archival inks and museum-grade paper to ensure his prints will not fade. You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country.
