Prayers on their way for celebration Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sunday near Kintamani, BATUR LAKE ... this was a really nice day for photo hunting organized by Yoga Raharja (TE member simplyoga). His friends picked me up at my hotel at 4.15 AM!!! We - 8 or 9 guys - had a nice day together

Here it is about high noon ... Balinese Hindus on their way to celebrate their religious ceremony at Batur Lake. I was impressed by their beautiful traditional robes.

Bonjour Nino,
Ces vêtements clairs sur ce fond coloré sont du plus bel effet ! La composition donne une grande profondeur à l'image. J'aime bien.

Apa kabar Nino?
Very nice angle, great PoV. Nicely captured. Sharp and clear OE at BG is fine, not a big issue here. Nice shot.

Hallo NIno!
Interessantes Foto und gute Kompo mit den Leuten im Schatten.Gute Diagonale der Gruppe und mir gefällt daß der erste die ganze Bildhöhe einnimmt.Ich bin in Asien immer wieder fasziniert davon,daß Einheimische in traditioneller Kleidung Plastik Flip-Flops tragen.
Gruß,Andreas

Hi Nino, interessante Aufnahme von Deinem Trek mit den lokalen TE-Fotografen. Die Gruppe der weiß-gekleideten Pilger gibt ein interesantes Motiv ab, und die Roben kontrastieren schön mit der von der Sonne beleuchteten grünen Vegetation. Das Schuhwerk sieht allerdings eher freestyle-mäßig aus ..

Wie war's beim Madonna-Konzert in D'dorf? Ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass Du mal erwähnt hattest, Karten zu haben.

HI Nino
nice picture, I only wish you had not cut the foot on the bottom, but the pose is nice.
Good job

Hi Nino
Nice multiple-portrait! I like that look of the man in front and the repetition effect due to the rest. Interesting and effective lighting from left hand side. Gd shot!

Hi Nino,
A nice scene and good view of these people going to celebrate, good sharpness and colors, nice POV... top left corner came a bit overexposed... otherwise very nice

Hi Nino

Very nice shot. i like the diagonial line which made of these men. The sky is "burned" but the lighting is still good.

Hi Nino
the white robes contrast the green sunny environment, you feel the clear air and the hot sun here by the contrast, weel frames this cue of people under the way.
greetings

Hi Nino, again a nice row of people, you have a lot of contrasts here because of the men in the shadow and the very bright part behind, having a close-up putting you more on the left (not down the path I hope...) you would have avoided to burn the upper left part, but anyway I like a lot, very nicely done... As you see the exposure can be brought down where there are a lot of white stuff on the picture as it's reflects a lot the light
