For a Few Dollars More Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Tabernas Desert, because of its similarities with the North American deserts, was used from the 1950s to the 1980s to film many Spaghetti westerns such as For a Few Dollars More and A Fistful of Dollars, featuring directors like Sergio Leone, musicians like Ennio Morricone, and actors like Clint Eastwood.

Here, a western show for turists in one of the "wild west villages" in The Tabernas Desert.
I used a table as a tripode.

Hello Krystyna. An interesting motive and a originally snapshot in b&w. The photo hides more than it shows. But the really important and crucial are to be seen: the gun and the figure regarding man. A worth seeing photo with exemplary grey tones. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Krystyna

Really nice comp. Great choice of b&w. You really have dropped us into the action. The guns at the ready. Good work.

Witaj Krystyna.

Me encanta Leone, me encanta Eastwood y me encanta tu foto... pero sobretodo me gusta el maestro Morricone.

Además, volviendo a tu foto, tiene algo especial, has conseguido hacer una foto muy moderna (y no mucha gente lo podría conseguir con un blanco y negro).

En cualquier caso, Dios salve a Morricone.

Świetne. Pomysł i ujęcie. Znakomite światło.
Dobrze, że w biało czarnym (mogłoby być też chyba w jakimś odcieniu sepii). Western całą gębą :))
Bardzo się podoba
Pozdrawiam T.

Hello Krystyna,
Une photo N&B bien réalisée, les contrastes sont bons; le gros plan avec en arrière le personnage, crée une belle atmosphère.
