A small series of workplaces and the various people working their jobs in Nepal.I thought of selecting the photos and posting them individually but I think it makes more sense as a collection. These were taken with an M8 and 21sem

I really enjoyed these photos... and you are right, they work well as a series. Interesting people and an interesting country. Love you perspective in these shots and just how 'involved' you must have been to get the shots... with a 21 you have to be part of the action and you have done this well without dominating. Excellent work with the camera in the first instance.

 

what interests me is your printing choice...

 

I  love your style of 'printing'. It's hard to get such a dark palette and get the images to work. Do you naturally underexpose and bring highlights up in post or do you expose normally in camera then darken everything down and highlight the odd thing in post?

 

Contrast and sharpen etc I can work out myself... I'm just interested in your starting point because it seems to deliver what you want 

 

My favourite pictures are in the second post... Third one down and the last one.

 

(I need to buy myself the 21 SEM as well... love the perspective of that focal length and that particular lens has the contrast tamed a little and really really sharp compared to the Elmarit).

Thank you Paul and Bill. To answer your questions I usually expose by determining a target grey area in the scene and leave it on manual shutter. There are times when I would deliberately expose for highlights but its not my normal style of shooting. In terms of processing I like to use curves to get a dark looking picture, the sliders aren't as effective because they would clip the blacks/highlights rather than darkening the entire pic.

The shadow of the swinging pick beneath what i presume must be posters for the United CP of Nepal (Maoist) is quite brilliant -- a very Magnum-esque photograph, if i may put it like that. The others, I'll be quite honest here and hope I'm not offending, work less well to my mind -- partly because the 'drama' of the processing somewhat outweighs the content.  What I mean, i suppose, is that the subjects are not quite strong enough.

 

But i think you have the makings here of a fascinating -- and challenging -- series of photographs.

Thank you alun for your reply. No offense was taken, its always nice to get an honest critique :)
