Photographer’s Note

Copan Honduras. We were traveling in Guatemala and made a hop to Copan Ruins. The village was a jewel, unspoiled, and even when the ruins were visited frequently, you had the feeling of authenticity in this little town. The moment we were in Guatemala, there were still problems with guerillagroups, some places were dangerous to visit and sometimes we felt a bit paranoia , walking with our money in our shoes ! When we crossed the border to Honduras, everything was so relaxed and peacefull, no threats, no place where you could not go ...
Scan from slide. I lost a lot of quality, tried to make it good but there is still something missing. But that could not prevent me from posting it, i loved the unspoiled scene. Hope you don't mind the low quality and try to look "through" it.

I love the way that you so consistently capture people in their element...you really have a knack for showing us TE amateurs high quality photography paired with an eye for cultural relevance. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Dag Inn,
Wat voor diafilm gebruikte je? Ik heb zelf meer dan 20 jaar diafilm geschoten en vind nog steeds de magie van film iets bijzonders hebben. Hoe beter de film, hoe beter je scanner moet zijn en alhoewel ik een topscanner heb blijft een mooie goede scan maken een hele klus. Veel geduld en extra bewerkingen zijn nodig hem hem eruit te laten springen wat soms wel maar ook soms niet lukt.
Het enige wat deze foto wat extra zou mogen hebben is wat extra scherpte, verder moet je er neit al teveel aan doen. Het is film, geen gladde digitale opname, dus ik vind hem prima zo. Wat je mist is de detailering van een digitale opname, maar die zien we hier al zoveel, dit hier heeft iets extra magisch wat alleen gezien kan worden door mensen die zelf ook jarenlang op film hebben geschoten.
Het ongedwongen van deze straat scene geeft al genoeg aan sfeer....prima plaat..!!!
Groetjes, Henk

Hi Inn, the scene would be nice...but closer or composed differently... this central placement is not appropriate here I think, my sight is going all around the picture and cannot stay somewhere... See on the borders, if you have central subjects you should try to close the compo on the sides, here I want to discover over the left and over the right, don't no if my explanation is clear...
