In my experience, a large number of people in Marrakech are openly averse to photographers taking pictures. In this picture, I see the person (who could be a butcher or something of the sort in that hole-in-the-wall shop to the right) making a dissuasive gesture possibly intended for the photographer...

Bradgate Park, once the home of Lady Jane Grey, looking towards Old John (seen in my previous image).   Lady Jane was Queen for nine days until she was locked in the Tower, found guilty of treason and beheaded to make way for Mary, who of course suffered the same fate to make way for Elizabeth.  Never a dull moment in English history!

You are right about that. Moste peple in that part of town (center) werent welcoming me taking pictures – mostely the shop owners or asociated people. A little away from the center – it was more easy to do so. I think it was a boutcher shop – he noticed  me frameing and he wasn't to fond of that.

My experience is in Algeria less in Tunisia , and it's almost difficult to shoot people

Sometimes I can but it was "stolen" pictures , many factors traditions, customs ,

religion intervene .... ... at the opposite in SE Asia, no problem for me and people even ask

to be photographed sometimes with a smile

I think may be it's a same in Jerusalem with Adam !

Congrats on getting married Dirk, best wishes.

 

Thanks Henry

 

I've been away for almost one month. Two weeks I've been in Vietnam, I got married there. :) So, I didn't had that much time to take pictures :D

But I still made it to shot 10 rolls of film. :)

I'm pretty evangelical when it comes to persuading young people to use film and have occasionally loaned out my Nikon F3 and processed the film with them later. My 8 year old can use my Leica M6 TTL and focus the rangefinder.

 

Tonight we looked at one of my aspirational negative scans which would never see the light of day. It's Kodak Portra 400 shot on the M6 in a highly underexposed contre-jour situation. So from this fail.....

We had lots of fun with the DNG file in the RAW developer part of Photoshop. We enhanced the heck out vibrancy and saturation, introduced a slight vignette, but most of all had fun with film. And I guess if we are going to excite the younger digital generation about film, we need to let them have freedom in their expression. So this is what we ended up with.... apologies to Henry and all who may be offended by something that could have been Instagram, but this is the point, it wasn't- it was film! And it can still be immensely creative and fun for the younger generations whom we need to get hooked, or we will loose our fight to make this wonderful medium popular again. Here's our candy floss interpretation, inspired and directed by an eight year old.

She loved it and that's all that matters.

I'm getting the bug for medium format. I've been browsing ebay  :o . I have a freezer chock full of medium format film that was given to me, and an opportunity to buy this person's SWC several years ago, for a deal of a price ($1000 if I recall). Unfortunately that ship has sailed and I'm now kicking myself.

It's an itch that really needs to be scratched, believe me. And since I've been there as well recently, I sympathise.

 

The SWC is about it have seen a couple for sale recently and at reasonable prices too.

Another wonderful picture dripping with atmosphere, mood and mystery. Would make an incredible print.

Lovely photo, Phil.  The highlight retention in the clouds is a testament to film.  Most digital sensors would have totally bleached the sky out.  Very charming.

Thank you Adam. I think I actually held back the clouds a tad in this interpretation, as they almost looked too defined and prominent. I don't really have any feeling for digital - photography and film are synonymous with me.
