[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
In the hills about 40 km from Araku valley (Vizag area, north AP), I spent a wonderful day in a deep, dense fog... It was raining for the whole afternoon, in the end only my torso remained more or less dry, never was so soaking wet for so many hours, but it was great fun.

Specially early in the morning, all the persons met in this small village (Dhumku, where I rented a hut for 2 days) were like surprising, surreal apparitions, suddleny there and quicklly disappearing in the fog : absolutely enchanting, even if uncomfortable !

But I need to learn more about PP, having all a series of photos from that day. On purpose, I left a bit of the haze but this version certainly does not satisfy me entirely... Your advice is welcome, what do you think of the light here ?

(I've posted another photo of that same little group on TL, which is even more hazy because a bit farther... ).

Hello Catherine,

Wonderful catch from the back..!!I love the fog here with the children looking at you..!!sad to see how they r walking on this wet road with bare feet..!! I liked the tiny one very much wearing just one piece of a top possibly of her elder sis..!!

Liked the shot in TL as well..they are like getting engulfed in fog there..nice sequel to this one..!!

Good take..I appreciate your perception about rural India..!!

Regards
Indro

Hi Catherine

I like the backward glances of the 2 girls, which establish a personal connection with the viewer. The fog adds mood & atmosphere, to this superb daily life scene. Tfs!

Bonjour, Catherine.
Une belle scène et le brouillard ajoute de l'ambiance à la photo.
J'aime bien.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Hi Catherine, Lovely shot. You raise an interesting question regarding the composition. I tried cropping it differently but don't think that it was improved really. I like the light, with the haze starting to envelope the group as they walk away from you, and echo ChrisJ's comment about the backward look. cheers, Steve

Dear Cath,

The chilling sensation , that really drives their life...
Beautifull capture of LIFE..
I like the looks of the two kids at you...
That really marks the beauty in frame..
EXCELLENT.

bonjour catherine
belle farandole d'enfants colorée, le fond brumeux permet de se concenter essentiellemnt sur le sujet principal et ajoute une touche d'élégance a ta photo.

bonne journée
didier

merhaba
türkçeyi bildiğiniz için size türkçe yazıyorum.öncelikle çok teşekkür ederim bana yazmış olduğunuz yorum için.çünkü az önce TE'ta baktım ve sizin yorumunuzu gördüm.benim en çok sevdiğim bir fotografımı koymuşlar ilk sayfaya.

sizin hindistanda çekmiş olduğunuz bu fotografınız gerçekten çok güzel.ön planda renkli kıyafetler içindeki çocuklar ve arka planda sisli bir görüntü mükemmel görünüyor.ayrıca çok net bir görüntü elinize sağlık.
Istanbuldan selamlar sevgiler

Hi Catherine,
The fragrance of innocence is oozing out from this lovely snap! The elderly lady guiding the kids into the realm of fog - a symbolic representation as well.

Hi Cahterine,

Indian people are so colourful!
and here the contrast is much more emphasized by the fog. a particular pic

ciao
Silvio

Hi Catherine

Really nice expression you have captured here. The backwards glances really make the image. The color really contrasts against the fog bringing the scene to life. Well done.
Ben

Bonjour,
Belle ambiance bien mise en évidence par la brume.
Bonne journée.

Très beaux instantanés! Ils me plaisent beaucoup Catherine! Tellement pleins de vie et de spontanéité, surtout le premier!Admiration x2! Améliorer le cliché?! Comment? Je pense qu'il faut avant tout travailler sur une copie de l'original... avec le maximum de définition... Essayer "Tons foncés/Tons clairs"... les résultats sont parfois étonnants avec les photos de brouillards, ou bien travailler avec l'outil "Courbes"?... Avec dans les deux cas, la mise en oeuvre d'autres fonctions pour rattraper les dérives... vaste programme, je sais! Je vais voir ce que je peux faire, mais je me sens un peu désarmé. Bonne journée à toi! alain

Hi Catherine,

Oeh, I always like to post process a bit on other people's work! Have a look at the workshop and let me know what you think :-).
I saw the TL posting as well, but I do prefer this one! I actually don't mind the haze here on the people! I removed it more in the workshop, but it's not necessarily better - result would have been better when working with the original size though.

Greetings!
Dennis

Salut Cath,
Celle-là est vraiment toute bonne. Le brouillard donne une superbe toile de fond à ces couleurs douces et vivantes.
Amitiés

Salut Cathérine,
quand j'entre dans ta gallérie je sais que je vais à coup sûr: les expressions et les scènes que tu arrives à fixer sont parmi les meilleures dans TE: om peux lire une surprise très spontanée dans les visages de ces fillettes. Tout est cadré dans une belle atmosphère de brouillard.
Alberto

Hi Dear Cath,
Wonderful catch the girls
excellent natural colours and foggy bavk ground
very well

Ciao Caterina, per me la tua foto più affascinante, bellissima la schiera di bimbi che accompagnati dalla madre sembrano entrare nel fitto della nebbia, bravissima, con Amicizia

Merhaba Catherine,

Chere Catherine, c'est tellement mignonne. les fillettes se tenant a la main, pieds nus, les deux qui se tournent comme il faut pour la photo. Un connaisseur de la photo dirait: tres belle palette, la brume tellement bienvenue, la compo narrative, ta position interessante, la photo a revoir - ce que je ferrai dans ma collection des preferees. Grand merci et a la prochaine,

Branko

Salut Catherine,
J'ai manque le début de ta nouvelle production indienne, étant au Cambodge ans internet..
J'aime bien celle la avec les deux fillettes du centre qui se retournent pour te regarder, et le reste du groupe te tournant le dos... Les couleurs semblent réalistes, difficile de voir des couleurs vives et brillantes dans le brouillard. Elles ressortent bien sur fond de brume épaisse ou l'on distingue tout de même quelques arbres...
L'atmosphère et bien rendue.
Laurent

Hola Catherine,it is an image that for yes alone is already charming, the natural and daily scene is excellent, on the light I will say to you that perhaps he should lack a point of darkness, as for the framing I think that the right part remains him, to be more explicit have done a WS.
In any case congratulations for the good work.

Un abrazo desde España.

hi cath;
this one is much better.great POV and cute bare feet children.vivid cloth colors..tfs.

Hi Catherine!
Yesterday and today I did some "photoshopping" with your image ,but only because you asked for.I like it as it is.It`s a nice daylifeshot and you post it as you and your camera have seen this nice scene.I like how two of the girls look back to something for them exotic,a woman with a black machine in front of her head.
I post my ws but I have a german edition and con not translate the tools and the steps I did.
By the way,for me Henk(Floydian)now on vacation in Cambodia is the master of postrocessing;he helped me a lot.
Regards,Leo

Salut Catherine,

Couleurs dans la grisaille, c'est superbe, très bien vu !
Marie

re bonsoir Catherine, une belle brochette de couleurs dans le brouillard indien...j adore les deux petites qui se retournent vers toi... mais que nous veut elle????
superb encore une fois
amities
tu pars quand?
francine

Bon, je la mets dans mon thème de favoris pour l'ambiance de partage, de convivialité, le regard des enfants, les couleurs, la brume. J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce moment que tu as saisi, loin des clichés habituels, très spontané, très frais. On t'a fait pas mal de ws, j'aime bien ceux de quillo et dpbours, il ne fallait pas grand-chose je crois, cette brume est très belle, les couleurs aussi, juste un peu de contraste et de netteté...

Bien à toi
Michèle

Hi Cath,
Bad weather can give good photos, if you know where and how to look. You did.
Regards,
F

These two girls looking back at you, cath...
These two faces are making the whole world of difference between 'yet another shot from behind' and a photo like this...

It's incredible, how the small details can separate the good from not so good...
From a great photography to a mediocre one...
Obviously - you see that 'thin red line' quite sharply, Cath.
And you obey the rules of engagement quite skillfully.

Foggy charm a'la IXUS... Great !!!

I really love this picture!! Beautiful little children in their bright colored clothing and the heavy fog adds a special mood. Good timing and an excellent capture! TFS added to my favorites.
