Photographer’s Note

for to visit Bagan, there is two ways, horse's carts or bicycle, you can rent everywhere a heavy chinese bicycle, unfortunately paths are lined with bushes thorny and flat is common, fortunately one can find everywhere station for to mend your bicycle, as you can see, it was like formula 1 race , four persons for one wheel!!!!!!

Hi Didier
Excellent daily life picture with the people solving the problem with the bike. Very good POV and colours.
It remember me the 70's year...I had a bike
Thanks and have a nice week

Salut Didier,
Nice daily life scene. People have not much to do during the day if i look at the two in the background. But four on one wheel looks indeed very professional ;-)

J'aime beaucoup ce genre de photo et il est toujours intéressant de voir l'intérêt que pour les jeunes à la chose. ça me rapelle un photo que j'au publiée, voir. Bonne composition et bon rendu des couleurs.
Félicitations!...

superb daily life shot in natural colours. i think it lacks a bit of sharpness.

Hahaha, quite a diferent one from Bagan, Didier. I recognize the same bikes I rented all the time in Laos. Fortunately I never had a flat, but I would definately choose this way for visiting the place. I love the depth of this scene, considering the 2 guys in BG, one of them enjoying the moment. The framing and timming are excellent and I particulary like the attentive pose of the guy on the right that seems to be learning how to do the work.
Cheers,
ricardo

Hello Didier,

I think that the roads a lot less are than here in our countries. But a bicycle is a good means of transport but when the bicycle tire burst than is natural setback.
I like the scene with the four people for one wheel.
Nice composition also the background give a good image.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice evening.
John.

Salut Didier
Une belle scène de vie quotidienne, comme on n'envoit plus par chez nous. On a plus vite fait de changer la chambre à air!!
Une belle compo avec ces deux groupes de personnes dans des attitudes opposées, mais là que l'on retrouve par chez nous, ceux qui bossent et ceux qui regardent...
Un joli coup d'oeil et une belle réalisation
Amicalement
Hervé

Best wishes...

Wonderful group shot! The grouping of the people is very good, and I like the way they interact with each other. I would even be tempted to zoom in on or crop tightly around the two guys on the right, which I think could be very good. Nice work!

Graal (57995) 2008-02-11 23:35

Bonjour Didier,
an interesting scene, good captured, fine natural poses of mans. I like the colours and composition also. Well done photo.

Bonjour Didier,

Tres sympa cette photo de reportage sur le vif. Le cadrage inclut toutes les personnes et se revele tres vivante: un belle tranche de vie.
Je suppose que c etait vos velos?

Yves.

Hi Didier,
attractive daily life shot from Bagan. And funny note. I like framing and POV, just sharpness could be little better. But anyway nice picture!

Hi Didier
fine daily life scene, so often we see beautiful pictures of the temples of Myanmar or fishermen/farmers, but nothing as 'real' as this. excellent documentary!

danos (32512) 2008-02-13 3:49

Salut Didier,
indeed the repairing of bicycle wheels, as we see in the shot, is made everywhere.It seems that this public conveyance, is very necessary for these people.Their interest for the repairing is apparently seen in their faces.Informative your note too.

Regards,Danos

Gerrit (35733) 2008-02-13 6:31

Hi Didier,
excellent catch of the concentration and punctiality of these bicycle-repairmen. I wonder how long it took,.
Regards, Gerrit

P.S. we toured Jamaica on bike., yes. (brought our own)

dip (12584) 2008-02-13 6:38

Hello Didier,
very good capture of the scene,I like the clarity and sharpness,good POV and framing too,
Dimitris.

keribar (42748) 2008-02-13 22:39

En deux mots Didier,
Je peux t'affirmer que si j'avais fait cette photo elle aurait fait partie de mon exposition sur le Myanmar. Ceci pour te dire combien elle me plait avec son naturel and sa composition ainsi que sa lumière.
Izzet

vincz (19043) 2008-02-15 8:19

Funny,,, ils sont si concentres! et ils s'y mettent a quatre. Vite j'avais bascule vers la carriole a chevaux plus pratique dans les chemins sableux!!! Belle prise de la vie courante.

Didi (36136) 2008-02-15 10:17

Salut Didier
C'est fou que les scènes de la vie quotidiene puissent être photographiées avec autant de facilité alors qu'en Europe ce n'est pas évident à moins d'utiliser un 500 mm de paparazzo.
Cela me rappelle l'Egypte où il y avait un réparateur de vélos en bas de chez moi, mais à l'époque avoir un appareil photo c'était réservé à une certaine caste.
Amitiés.

leo61 (43404) 2008-02-15 11:07

Hi Didier!
An often scene in S.E.Asia.
During my recent travel I had flat tires by transportation with bycicle,motorbike,car and bus,but fortunatelly not with a plane.
Your POV is excellent here and shows well the men at work.A very good exposure with amazing sharpness overall and many fine details.
Regards,Leo

maxlp (32) 2008-02-18 23:51

bonjuor didier
cet instantané est excellent, j'adore la spontaneité de cette photo, sa richesse, l'impression quelle donne, ces gens se plieraient en 4 pour te rendre service.
c'est du tres bon reportage avec une grande approche humaine qui denote ton sens de l(obsevation et ta sensibilité.

J'aime beaucoup ces photos de rue qui nous donnent tant d'infos à la fois, la façon appliquée avec laquelle ils travaillent et les 2 types à l'arrière qui eux ne font pas grand chose : merci de l'avoir postée ici, "TFS !"
Bon weekend,
Cath.
