ns_ng Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted July 9, 2015 Thank you for the kind comments. The alleys and lanes in both Marrakech and Fez are fascinating. There is so much going on in those places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Posted July 16, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) What a wonderful photograph. It reminds me of the quality of the old Salon pictures where photographers had an almost alchemical approach to developing the negative with extra water baths and all kinds of secret potions. Your skill notwithstanding, it is a credit to the M240. But I'm beginning to waffle. I just wanted to emphasise what a great picture this is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted July 16, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 16, 2015 Excellent. Beautiful light, beautiful composition and somehow the figures approaching - mother and child - are just what you might hope them to be. I enjoyed this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I felt in this case, the sepia tone gives this image a softer mood to the scene. As you can see from the shadows, the shot was captured in the afternoon and in b&w the contrast was too high for my taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns_ng Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted July 30, 2015 Excellent. Beautiful light, beautiful composition and somehow the figures approaching - mother and child - are just what you might hope them to be. I enjoyed this. Shooting inside the medina (old city) with its narrow lanes and alleys is a challenge. The light changes from alley to alley and at times one has to wait patiently for the right subjects to emerge to capture the image.With rf, I can just pre-focus at a certain location in the alley and when an interesting subject approaches I just snap away. I switched to the 28mm as the wider angle was very useful in these narrow lanes.Thanks for the kind comments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns_ng Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted July 30, 2015 Wonderful image……..reminiscent of HCB's best work. JZG Google Fan Ho. He is a Hong Kong photographer, relatively unknown outside of East Asia. His images of Hong Kong in the 50's and 60's are classic and captivating.

ns_ng Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share #19 Posted August 4, 2015 excellent picture in the tradition of historic photographers. It is a fine proof and confirmation that light is everything. The warm bronze toning is adding very much.very much Thank you, Iduna. In many ways, I have been influenced by the works of the great photographers from the past. Their understanding and used of light is one reason I look at their images to gain inspiration. I mentioned Fan Ho. Google his images of Hong Kong from the 50's and 60's.
