Photographer’s Note

On the day following the Children's Day, we visited a Tu Zu(an ethnic group in Qinghai) primary school. There are only 7 classes of about 200 pupils from the two nearby Tu Zu villages in this school.
We donated some pencils, books, basket balls, etc. to these poverty-stricken kids. And gave them candies as well. They are so smart and so innocent that I feel if more people would help them, they will surely have a different future.
The doorway of every classroom was crambled by local villagers. In a way, our visit is festival to them.
The classrooms were poorly lighted in the daytime and it was quite hard to get presentable images for I'm still getting used to my new D50.

brightness +15 and contrast-7

more photos of this event will be posted.

Hi Xiao Jian
Nice image here. the multitude of colours here are quite nice. I like the expressions on some of the children as well.
But you are right, it is a bit dark.
well done none the less.

Nice story... Both by image and by the note!
Well composed, showing what really happened...
I making a note of the expression on faces, both the kids and the grown-ups!
Lighting is a bit low, but then... that's a part of reality too...
Greetings,

strange and new for them as you can notice
on their faces.Great shot on the right moment.Regards,Alberto
