Hive Cebu - Pitik Photography Shots #2
Before anything else if you are new to my blogs and want to know what "Pitik Photography Shots" is then read my blog about "Pitik Photography" here
This is my second attempt or shall I say practice shots to improve my photography skills. I always do my afternoon walk almost everyday and today I decided to bring my Panasonic Lumix FZ80 with me because maybe just maybe I could get some good shots today. Well I think I did but I'm not sure so any input from anyone would be great.
Anyways I wasn't really expecting any requests from the people in our town since to be quite frank I am just new literally. I just uploaded photography from my facebook page in just a few days and very few people follow me on my facebook page so basically people don't know me.
But sometimes life gives you challenges and opportunities. As I was walking my 2nd round around our old wharf 2 kids came up to me and asked me if I could "Pitik" them and I said sure. So I took a couple of shots at them and then took off after giving their thanks.
Next was in my 4 round around of old wharf, another kid riding his bike came to me and again asked me if I could "Pitik" him and again my response was sure. This kid knows his stuff coz he asked for my facebook page unlike the first 2 kids who asked me to "Pitik" them. So I gave him my facebook page so he can follow me and get his photo later or shall I say tomorrow.
Lastly was a group of Criminology students who were in our National Park. I was going through my rounds at the park when suddenly these 3 guys asked me if I could "Pitik" them. Again I said sure and then they asked me for my facebook page and I told them so they could follow me.
It really is nice how kids and teenagers are so open and welcoming to strangers taking their photos. Not that I will do anything bad to it lol. I just didn't expect it like that. I doubt I will experience the same thing tomorrow but we shall see.

You did get great and good shots. They are beautiful. And i love the fact that people were opened to letting you take pictures of them even when they don't know you. Again, beautiful shots you've got here.
Thank you for visiting my blog, yeah it surprised me as well really. I really thought people would be more wary about strangers especially kids but since the "Pitik" trend has been growing in the Philippines to the point when they see someone holding a DSLR camera then it would mean that you are a "Mamitikay" or Photographer 😅
I guess a lot of them love taking photos and seeing someone with a camera would make them opt for a shot. You are doing well.
There are a lot of photographers nowadays who are taking photos in the street randomly. It's good practice to find subjects out of nowhere and yes, eventually, you'll sharpen your skills even more. I think the man in the boat is the best for me.
I understand why you liked that photo, that really is a pure pitik coz he didn't know I was taking a picture of him so it really looks quite natural
But for me personally I like this one the most for these shots
This guy is a street dweller and most like has some mental illness in which we, sadly filipinos, are ignorant about. It was such a great shot for me coz he was actually looking at the direction of the see but when I pressed the shutter button he suddenly looked at my direction and with a smile at that.
that was great photos @pinkhub. Great job
