.....summer brings the festivals back to our area and I'm sure some german and brits know those shows. maybe even some of you americans as the interceltic festival of Lorient is world wide known. this year the special guest country is australia.

 

i have a few rolls but haven't printed many yet. spend hours in the darkroom but the heat just sux.

 

k, I'll show you three.......from Hennebont, where at the mediaval festival they made porc for dinner.

 

from Vannes where the Jazz festival brought nice sounds in our streets and

 

from Lorient where thousands of people are dancing in the street

Don't know why this one got passed over Rainer. These are some terrific shots. Each one is a winner, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing them.

Dear Rainer;

 

I like all three of them. I enjoy the way you use slow shutter speeds and you use the effects of blur a bit different and very well. Your excellent pictures shown here invites to have a look at your web page to browse further. That I did. Your terrific work is a challenge. I admire your craft and it shows that you consciously photograph your subjects in an appropriate manner. The fact that you carefully enlarge prints clearly shows your commitment to photography. Cheers. As far as the musician here and the musicians on your web pages are concerned I can tell you that I can almost hear them up in Scotland. A feast for eyes and ears. :-)

....sorry sirs for replying that late. I actually saw my thread going down with any reply and sort of forgot about it.

That makes it four days I went each afternoon to Lorient about thirty miles from here to give prints to the folke I photographed. That means, one roll of trix in the afternoon, darkroom work a large part of the night, drying prints and giving them to those ppl.

Some guys heard about it and come now to ask me to photograph them ...I probebly will end up asking for a couple of euros to pay the baryt paper but on the other hand those folks make great models and I'll probebly will set up and exhibition of those feasts in my area here.

 

thanks all for your kind words

Very interesting series. Would deserve a better contrast, IMO.
