Photographer’s Note

le brouillard s'épaissit mais la compétition continue, ici une phase de repérage qui permet de mieux visualiser les portes.

Bonsoir Didier,

Effectivement, avec un brouillard pareil, le repérage s'impose. Encore un belle image de cette compétition dans la lignée de la précédente mais en couleur. Très western le monsieur, du moins le haut !!! Joli coup d'oeil Didier.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Bonsoir Didier,
Une très belle composition N&B,le brouillard fonctionne comme un filtre sur l'arrière plan, ce qui met en évidence la scène de l'attelage.Bien vu.
Bonne soirée

Another good shot from this event. The B&W conversion was a good idea to suit the mood provided by the fog. Well done

Hello Didier,
this is a really great image with a suggestive old charm. The choice of bw is excellent and I wanted to try to make it even more ancient removing the noise elements. Consider the WS a my curiosity.
Congratulations and TFS.
Best regards.

Hello Didier,

Etrange ambiance qui, sans le numéro, pourrait presque nous faire penser qu'il s'agit d'une photographie ancienne. Le noir et blanc est approprié ici car il accentue cette impression.
Bien vu !

Hello didier. A really strong and expressionful black-and-white photo. It is one of the best photos, which I saw lately on TE. My express Compliment. Regards, Wolfgang.

Clementi (44919) 2009-09-10 1:40

Ciao Didier,
very beautiful atmosphere in this image, typical of the beginning 900, compliments for the stupendous B&W
Giorgio

delpeoples (6582) 2009-09-10 2:01

Hi Didier, again another timeless image, the DOF is excellent with those rolls of hay clearly visible through the mist. The B&W is superbly contrasted and strong. Excellent job, Lisa.

bukitgolfb301 (4883) 2009-09-10 2:50

Hello my dear Didier

Marvelous mood and atmosphere, that seems to be one scene from old nostalgic movie. Good and stable framework and sharp focusing as usual.

Bonjour Didier,

it seems that occasion was a good photography oportunity. It looks an old photo and once more the fog was in your favor. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

jlbrthnn (38727) 2009-09-10 5:43

Bonjour Didier,
Tu avais des conditions superbes pour réaliser des images créatives comme tu les affectionnes. Le brouillard, l'équipage, les tenues, tout était réuni pour choisir le noir et blanc austère, mais flatteur et poétique. Félicitations.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement.
Joël

ChrisJ (70419) 2009-09-10 6:23

Salut didier

A superb b&w image with good sharpness, tonal range & framing. The bg fog adds mood, mystery & atmosphere. Well framed & composed & a surprise old world image from France. Merci et amities!

Cretense (56866) 2009-09-10 7:52

Iassou Didier!

THis one looks like very "old" photo, and I suppose that this was your purpose, which you succeeded perfectly! Fantastic atmophere created by the mist, great framing and composition, perfect choice of b&w!

Gerrit (36127) 2009-09-10 8:39

Hi Didier,
very moody photo of this carriage in the mist. The man with the beard looks like a highjacker.
regards, Gerrit

patdeph (18244) 2009-09-10 9:49

bonjour Didier
le brouillard donne une atmosphère particulière,un peu mystérieuse,et j'aime le charme un peu surrané de cette photo,ce qui est bien accentué par le N&B!
Amitiés
Pascale

vasilpro (9258) 2009-09-10 11:56

Hello Didier,
Excellent composition, great atmosphere, wonderful the chosen B&W presentation.
Have a nice evening, Vasilis.

Vasa (6126) 2009-09-10 12:02

Le theme ou nous partageons les emotions. Le contraste en n/b est effectif. Le moment de reaction me semble bien choisi (la position des mains des deux et la position du fouet). Le brouillard est la pour dramatiser le sujet. Belle imafe mon cher ami,

Branko

xavshot (62991) 2009-09-10 12:54

Bonsoir Didier
finalement la présence du brouillard était plutot une aubaine... Tu as pu en profiter pour rendre une belle ambiance. Le n&b convient bien. Bine joué.

Bonsoir Didier,

I am not great fan of black and white, bit this picture is very specially.
Nice expression of the man to the left
Excellent perspective and amazing captured too.
Very well done, TFS.

John.

gilou530 (35568) 2009-09-12 7:47

salut didier
une scéne bien capturée ou le gars arrive d'un pas décidé, un bon contraste de gris dans ce N&B pas évident avec la brume, mais c'était le bon choix
amitiés
gilbert

burGu (4542) 2009-09-12 12:38

This must be the same event with your "moustache" photograph. So it is or not, this is looks like coming from an mgm movie... I like the view of thick fog, surrounding the carriage and the rider. Well seen, well composed, Didier.
Have a nice weekend!
Burcu

Ola Didier,
Boa escolha pelo preto e branco parece que voltaste atrás no tempo , bonita a atmosfera com nevoeiro ,bom enquadramento , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

kevinos (6927) 2009-09-13 23:00

The fog gives a nice atmosphere,Didier, and the black and white gives it a agreeable retro feeling. It could be an old image from the wild west. You have chosen a good PoV and framed the image for maximum impact. Regards Kevin

TopGeo (22121) 2009-09-14 4:44

Bonsoir Didier, Excellent other scene again great foggy photo with composition of coachman with the persons give a dynamic picture B&W that impresses in the fog
Regards
Georgios

pablominto (41148) 2009-09-19 23:43

Hello Didier,

I'm not quite sure what is going on here, but the scene no doubt has interesting elements!
The composition has an outstanding depth, as the figures appear almost like 3D seen on the foggy background...
A balanced composition with sharp details in the subject(s)..!

Greetings,
Pablo -

jafadabret (40185) 2009-09-23 23:55

Bonjour Didier.
J'aime beaucoup la légèreté et la grâce de cet attelage qui est ici bien mis en valeur par le brouillard ambiant.
Beau travail !
Jacques

giorgimer (21446) 2009-09-24 13:26

Salut Didier,

fascinating shot, thanks to the fog in the BG and the use of B/W.

mauro61 (16152) 2009-09-25 13:54

ciao Didier,
una foto quasi d'altri tempi che il B&W accentua molto.
Ottima la naturalezza dei soggetti e la definizione.
buona notte
maurizio

subhendu_bagchi (3426) 2009-09-26 9:02

Nice capture of this shot and very efficient use of black and white mode, Didier. It offers us really an old like look. Well done.
Have a nice day.
Subhendu

Angshu (33995) 2009-09-27 21:27

Bonjour Didier
This is marvellous indeed, not only the ay you composed, but the conversion to bw as well, which suits the mood created by the fog, which creates a fine semi opaque curtain in the BG. Wonderful!
Regards
Angshu

pulezan (767) 2009-09-29 14:41

I have to agree with others about the great mood and atmosphere you presented with this picure. Good contrast and sharpnes.

regards,
pulezan

sayeed_rahman (2301) 2009-10-07 10:17

Cinematic..

simple yet to striking didier..i feel you needed to be closer since there is not much around..stronger emphasis on the two main elements would have worked strongly..thats an amazing lens you are using and you could crank up the focal length..perhaps the light wasnt enough and you couldnt get 1/200 at least..or maybe shoot less than 1/60 and get some motion blurr..

Could be more cinematic...who knows..

i enjoyed it..thats what matters..

cheers
sayeed

kunitsa (187) 2009-10-24 11:25

Superb photo! I think that the combination of fog, B&W and the situation (card, suited up man in the hats) is a winning one and it makes it such a nostalgic shot!
