Bonjour Vincent,
Alors tu te ballades toujours dans les sphères de l'Asie du Sud Est? C'est une magnifique photo..j'aime bien toues les mains sur le bord de la lanterne. Une belle prise pour témoigner de cette coutume locale!
Bonne journée,
Léonie

Salut Vincent
I was in Phuket last January but didn't make it to Karon / Kata, so tfs. Superb graphism here of the bell shaped lantern, with marvellous lighting contrasts & sharpness. Merci!

Hi Vincent,
Good POV made more interesting by your notes. You've controlled the low lighting condition wonderfully. Well captured and presented. Well done! tfs
Cheers,

Salut Vincent,
Elle est toute simple et très belle à la fois.
Jouer avec le feu et la lumière donne un excellent résultat malgré les 1600 ISO.

what a great shot you got here, Vincent. Unfortunately I missed this festival in Luang Prabang by one day, but I enjoyed to see the preparations of all the decorations. The way you got all the arms/hands holding the lantern is fantastic. Great POV, very inspiring shot.

Wonderful image. The low POV works perfectly to look into the lantern and see all the hands holding it, illuminated by the flame. Interesting note too. It can't be good if one lands near you. ;D

A superb shot! I like very much the hands supporting the bell shaped lantern prior to flight. Your write-up is very interesting.
Thank you for your comment. The original "as shot" photo does not have a very blue sky. When I applied through Photoshop a warming filter at about 32 points the sky turned brownish. I like it so I kept it.
Thank you for your comment on my photo on "Cinque Terre". I appreciate it.
Have a nice Christmas Holiday!

Bonsoir Vincent,
Tu aurais du demander au monsieur d'enlever sa montre pour garder un côté intemporelle à la scène... Je plaisante. Très belle prise de vue de ce rituel, j'aime beaucoup la gestion de la lumière ici qui crée une ambiance particulière au moment. Intéressant et merci pour la note instructive qui accompagne la photo.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et je te souhaite également ainsi qu'à tous les tiens d'excellentes fêtes de fin d'année,

Salut Vincent,
A beautiful and evocative compo, with all those hands griping the balloon. Impeccable light control. A wonderful photo to show that unique festival that you document so well with your note.
TFS, Amicalement, José.

Hello Vincent
A very different type of picture, with excellent handling of very low light..like the hands seemingly 'radiating out' from the lantern. You have shown us an excellent shot of the festival & your note is of learning value for me.

Hello Vincent,
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance intimiste et mystérieuse de cette image !
Sans lire la note, la scène semble en effet très étrange ! Ton 40D fait des merveilles à 1600 ISO ! La netteté est excellente et aucune lumière parasite ne vient perturber cette très belle et douce lumière !
Bravo !

Bonjour Vincent,
la simplicité du cadrage et de sa force graphique elles sont fantastiques. La lumière qui illumine la lanterne et les bras qui la soutiennent, entourés d'une obscurité, et les chauds tons, ils ont une grande attraction à vue.
Une très bonne photo.
Amicalement,
Josep

Bonsoir Vincent,
J'aime beaucoup icila texture de la lanterne avec cette illumination intérieur mais qui oasse à travers le papier, et surtout les mains qui sortent de l'obscurité et donnent un coup de magie ou de mystère! C'est très belle!
Amitiés,
Angel.

Very nice use of chiaroscuro effect! It is a little tilted to the left, but not too bad. I particularly like the glow on the arms.

Well I learned something new today about the significance of sky lanterns. Well presented. The presence of hands tying to light the lantern makes the image dynamic. Greetings! Danilo

Hi Vincent,
I saw this festival in 2005, really nice to see these lantarns rising up in the sky at night. You made something special from it with including all those arms under it, gives it a lot more in telling the story.
Good light here, i like the black background with full attention on the lantarn and the arms...good work.

hello Vincent
On ne voit pratiquement pas le support de la bougie ce qui rend encore plus insolite cette flamme dansante. J'aime bien le rendu de la texture de la cloche en papier de riz ainsi que l' expo et le cadrage avec l'inclusion des bras et mains.

Bonsoir Vincent,
J'ai déjà vu un reportage à la télé où l'on montrait le départ de ces petites montgolfières, mais dans le genre je n'en avait pas vu d'aussi grosses. C'es une belle image spectaculaire et mystérieuse. les mains contribuent au mystère. Belle prise bien réalisée.
Passe de bonne fêtes, Joyeux Noël

Salut Vincent,
magnifiques ces mains autour de la lanterne, c'est une composition puissante, les textures d'une grande subtilité, par exemple le bambou, j'aime la manière dont tu as saisi la flamme, on dirait qu'elle vient de nulle part, et les jeux ombres/lumière sont superbes, avec cette obsurité dont sortes les bras. Du tout beau travail !
Merci et bonne année même si un peu tardivement!
