"Refugee from Tibet"

Tibetan Refugee Camp, Kathmandu.
This camp was set up in 1960 under the initiative of the International Red Cross and the Swiss Development Corporation, then known as Swiss Association for Technical Assistance, in cooperation with His Majesty’s Government of Nepal. It's main objective is to help the Tibetan refugees to do something productive and support themselves.


I took this picture under very low light conditions. The only light was coming from a small window at the top right. That single ray of sunlight was just enough to make this magic light picture.
All i had was 1/10 sec at f2.8 handheld on Fuji Provia 100F slide film.
When your monitor is not right calibrted than it could be on the dark side. In print it has a lot of detail and the picture has won many international prizes.

Enjoy..!!


Any comment is more than welcome..!!

Hi Henk,
very well captured scene about life of people of nature, and you are really good exposed ray of sunlight, I can see nice soft light in there! Very good one!!!!
best regards,
imre

Very beautiful photo. I love the way you captured the tender light of this scene. This must be in the blood of Dutch people :) The way you played with the shadows is absolutely fabulous. Nice composition and good selection of shutter speed to capture the action. Congratulations.

Hello Hank.
Beautifull climat and this mistic light.
Good theme Refugees and we must make something with this.
Best regards.

Prachtig beeld, Henk. Echt prachtig. Het donker geeft echt een goeie atmosfeer en ik moet Joel bijtreden; het heeft wel iets van Rembrandt. Het kader is niet ideaal, maar voor de rest is alles perfect.

Hi Henk,
very nice moddy capture. The window lighting illumnate the essential of the activity. Great use of it. A real painting.
Thanks, Alain -

It has some magical feel to it. I think my monitor is not well calibrated because I don't see too many details, but I'm sure it looks great on print. Congrats for the prizes, you deserve them. Tali

Wow Henk, This is such a truly sublime work; it looks like a great painting of one of the Masters, so it can only be photographed by a master. It's so very touching in its beauty and the story behind it is even more moving. This picture caresses all my sense and I'm under its spell. This is such a perfect moment to me, I'm speechless. Thank you for evoking. Sabine

Hi Henk,

Un cadrage au poil et ...

Bravo

Hi Henk,
Very nice moddy capture! Forced life! Beautiful portrait, contrast and frame.
Well done.

Salut Henk
Superbe lumière qui transqui toute la beaute de cette image. Très beau
Toni

Great use of really nice light, Henk. It feels very timeless, like it could be from any era--looks like a Flemish painting of a peasant woman (except for the plastic sandals...) My only slight suggestion would be to use a plainer, textureless frame. Regards, Ken.

Mooi Henk, met zo'n Rembrandt-achtig effect door de lichtval uit het raampje. Prachtig die rood en paars tinten tegen de sobere andere kleuren. Topper :)

Groetjes
An

Hi Henk,

Dag Henk
Door het weinige licht is de belichting juist heel mooi.
1/10 sec is vrij weinig en toch redelijk scherp.
Knap gedaan.

It's amazing to have such fine details in a handheld for 1/10 sec! How did you manage? Excellent picture with very dramatic plays of light and shade, just like the dramatic life of Tibetan Refugees. Best shot.
Best regards,
Sayat

Great portrait.
I like the way you manage the light which emphasizes artisanal work very well.

Corinne

Hi Henk.
La capture de la lumière est impressionnante, ce jeu d'ombres et de lumière est splendide !
J'aime bien les tonalités de couleurs et puis ce rouge qui vient donner de la vie.
Une belle scène très joliment capturée, superbe prise.
