Photographer’s Note

Madurai..Flower Market... What a busy place!! People and flowers at every direction you turn... Roses, jasmine and many others.. Flowers play an important role in Tamil's (and Hindu's) life.. Prayers and almost every big event in life is accompanied by flowers...
And the women just love having it attached in their hair for the lovely smell...

Here you see a buyer getting his purchase weighed and put into his bag...

p/s if you want go there it seems like the time around noon is the busiest period when the flowers arive from the surrounding villages.. therefore giving a lot opportunities..

Toi aussi déjà en ligne?? Mais vous vivez pour ce site, c'est incroyable ;o) Jolie image, très dynamique avec cet effet découlant d'une exposition lente. J'aime beaucoup la composition et ce qui semble être une danse entre les deux mains.

Interesting busy situation, cool way to break the rules too.

Sincerely

Salut Bala.
Ca faisait longtemps dis voir ;)
Bien vu ce cadrage pour cette scène...excellente idée.
Le mouvement par ce 1/20 dynamise bien la compo et lui donne un très bon mouvement.
J'aime bien les teintes également.
Allez, bon dimanche et content d'avoir pu faire ta connaissance.
Fred

What Bala?.. Enna Madurai malligai aah?...
Vaasam thookuthu.... ;)
Nice close-up on action... Off late you are big on action shots looks like...
Good one too, except for lot of shakes in foreground.Still looking at "Malligai" in your frame & the neat crop makes it an eye catcher.
Thanks,
Prem.

Pleasant to see this back and fine how you tackled the contrasting light with outside avoiding it by your angle, all spot on the jasmine and the trading in movement blur as indeed inside it is rather dark, well found solution.
Rather a messy place, all wet, even the stairs.

Salut Bala!
Congratulations on a truly lovely, dynamic shot; beyond the exciting blur there is a solid composition here. I like the way Gal puts it "cet effet decoulant" of the long exposure, that's perfect.

Hello Bala,
C'est ddôle, je ne me souviens pas de vous avoir amenés au marché samedi... ;o)
Bonne compo. J'aime le fait qu'on ne voit pas complètement les personnages, juste les mains et l'action principale. C'est bien d'avoir utilisé la vitesse lente pour obtenir le flou dans le mouvement.
Je suis contente d'avoir pu faire ta connaissance lors de cette rencontre.
Amicalement, Brigitte

Bala,
Since I visited your site last you have posted a serious of fabulous photos. I begin with this one. Absolutely marvelous shot, minimalist and effective in showing the motions of the busy shopkeeper and his customer. Excellent choice of angle.

Olá Bala, excellent close up of this flower scene. Last month, I learned the importance of the flowers in Hindu's life. I like the motion of the movement here.
