During the speech, a photo from Aquitaine, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Yesterday night, I witnessed the opening of the History film festival in the city where I live. I was sitting at the third row, close to the stage. During the introduction speech, I noticed the similar gesture of the 2 ladies, not knowing what to do with their hands.
In the WS, I show you the intervention of Michel Rocard, former prime minister, during his presentation of the "years 70", subject of this 23rd festival.
I won't be very active during this week, attending 12 films and some conferences

Salut Claude
Excellent cadrage sur les mains, le rouge vif et le noir se complètent dans une prise très originale.
Bonne journée

Hello Claude!
For attending films and some conferences! Good listening!
There is always an embarrassment but wants a good idea to capture the detail is subtly!
best regards
Georgios

Bonsoir Claude
Un moment bien capté sur ces mains qui se croisent et s'entrecroisent.La personne gauche est obéissante,elle de droite commence à lâcher prise ce qui est le signe d'une certaine lassitude.Simplement très bien capté.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Bonjour Claude,

A very well seen and taken photograph, especially as it was taken at a shutter speed of 1/60 second at a focal length of 200mm!

A very fine capture of a pose we have all seen so often (and probably adopted ourselves many times) with wonderfully strong vibrant colours and exceptional details and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. An interesting note too. And, please, enjoy your films and conferences!

Bonsoir Claude
un'idea molto originale, complimenti.
I due colori contrastano in modo evidente, ma la posizione e le mani, hanno molte cose in comune, segno evidente che la differenza è solo quella visiva, non quella interiore.
Saluti
Carlo

Jeu de mains, jeu de ...Joli moment capturé là, les couleurs des robes étant un atout supplémentaire. Je me serais peut-être laissé tenter à recadrer plus serré sur les couples de mains?

Salut Claude,
Beau cadrage sur ces deux paires de mains et puis ce petit manteau rouge était parfait pour ton cliché.
La femme de gauche semble beaucoup plus calme que celle de droite.
ça me rappelle étrangement une émission que je regardais quand j'étais môme, ça s'appelait "mes mains ont la parole".
Bonne soirée et peut-étre à "deux mains" pour une nouvelle photo. :o)

coucou,
j'ai aperçu dans la journée (sur mon mobile) ton zooming et en voulant le commenter je tombe sur ces jeux de mains (le jeu de vilain c'est pour les moderateurs qui ont supprimé ton beau zooming?)
un rouge et un noir tres esthetique, des mains elegantes...bravo, monsieur
bon courage pour cette dure semaine ;-)
bises à tous les 2
vero (peu presente car beaucoup de boulot avant de ne plus en avoir!)

Hi Claude. Hands, and not much more. The photo hides a lot and it shows a lot. The informative text fits very well to the photo. This beautiful study I really like.
Rgds, Wolfgang.

Salut Claude
Le Rouge et le Noir à la mode Claude
Un cadrage intéressant avec ce rouge pimpant.
Une idée qui ne me serait jamais venue à l'esprit.
Bien cordialement

siolaw (38294) 2012-11-23 22:26

Salut Claude
Le cadrage et point de vue sont intéressants et suggèrent bien la pose et l'attention au speech de M. Rocard!
Bon visionnage de ces 12 films!
Amicalement
Laurent

Hello Claude,
an interesting detail that you have captured so well. Excellent coulur and sharpness.I would have been tempted to crop tighter, to the hem of the red coat.I am especially attracted to images like this, when the photographer ignores the obvious and picks out a detail that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Salut cher Clodo

An interesting photo, not least for the cropping, where we do not see what these people look like, that they are anonymous. But it's also an exercise in reading body language and also learning a few things about your subjects. The body language seems to say, "I don't know what to do with my hands". But the strangest thing I find is what seems to be two left handed people next to one another. A right-handed person would usually clasp the left hand over the right. And another fascinating fact is that (if they are not both left handed) one seems to be mimicking the other, which is unusual in itself. Interesting also is that although we cannot see their faces, we have a good idea of the age of these women, as it is the hands which usually belie age, no matter what amount of plastic surgery has happened to the face. A fascinating photo, thanks for sharing.

Bonne amitiés
Lisa

Hi Claude

I wonder how many photographers would even think of or consider capturing this view point!
its very creative, you seem to think outside the box alot - something i need to do more of :)
well presented unique subject
