• I bought a pair of these! - Lee Sie

Chichicastenango Market, Guatemala

The market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala is quite an event. Lots of crafts, lots of people, lots of tourists, and you'll get pushed around if you obstruct the flow. Nicer large. See my Tikal shots.

ISO 100, 47mm, f9, 1/250. Tonemapped in Photomatix details enhancer. Imagenomic noise reduciton. Nik Pro Contrast, Tonal Contrast, and Viveza to brighten the big sign and recover some of th ealmost burnt out spots. Slight Nik Glamour Glow at the end.
