stuny Posted December 12, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 12, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just can’t leave the fisher women of the Karawari just yet – there are too many images that haunt me. Here’s one (with more to follow in coming weeks). You can see some others on the second Papua New Guinea photo gallery page on our site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted December 12, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2006 And hey, are we still waiting for the trip notes? Interesting place and you are making me feel bone idle not getting across there for a look myself. There is some really nice stuff on your site, really worth the look. You seem to be settling in fine with the DMR. Stunning images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted December 12, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 12, 2006 A fine looking women in full ceremonial gear, the profile has it Stuart. Karawari is the upper reaches of the Sepic so is this the Sepic province? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted December 12, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2006 Oh, another great shot...keep them coming! cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinop Posted December 12, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2006 Enjoyable profile & expression. The beads / necklaces worn + the body paintings and the head ornament are interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted December 12, 2006 Sam & Paul - Thank you. Manfred - Thank you, and yes, the Karawari is part of the Sepik river system and Sepik region. Rob - Thank you. Barbara is WAY behind on her trip notes, and still hasn't finished the India notes from November 2005! If, however, you need any specific data please let me know. And yes, I'm quite comfortable with the DMR, which handles exceptionally well, and rather similar to your R9 with your winder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lykoudos Posted December 12, 2006 Share #9 Posted December 12, 2006 Hello Stuart, These photographs, it do not release me. This raisedness and satisfies size. I saw such photos in this quality of the expression still with nobody. Greeting Wolfgang (Leica MP) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADP Posted December 12, 2006 Share #10 Posted December 12, 2006 Beautiful Series, Stuart. Thank you for sharing them. You are capturing some great images of a rapidly vanishing type of society. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beramos Posted December 12, 2006 Share #11 Posted December 12, 2006 Stuart, Is one of your better photos. I like a lot of the light and only the object of clear color that is behind the person displeases me because distracts a little. Excellent DOF. Great shot. Camera and lens please?

stuny Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share #12 Posted December 13, 2006 John, Peter, Wolfgang & Anthony - Thank you. Bernardo - Thank you. R8/DMR, probably with my 80-200 zoom, though MAYBE my 28-70 zoom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted December 13, 2006 Share #13 Posted December 13, 2006 Stuart, Great photo. Perfectly exposed, nice isolation, sharp focus. Please post more of this trip. Best, Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

petert531 Posted December 13, 2006 Share #15 Posted December 13, 2006 Nicely framed, off centre. My only niggle is the object jutting out from behind the subject. If the backgroud were more OOF it would be easier on the eyes. But of course, that's just a minor thing that critiquers fall back on when all is is good! Nice shot.

stuny Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share #16 Posted December 13, 2006 Thank you Peter. I agree regarding the distracting background object and would have loved to be able to get the shot without it. But all the boats (the women's and ours) were drifting so I didn't have the opportunity to move about how I wanted to. Pity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_parker Posted December 14, 2006 Share #18 Posted December 14, 2006 Stuart I seriously think this is one of your best - exposure, tones and colours all look great and the composition and selective focus are excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
