Passing by, a photo from Bolu, Black Sea

Photographer's Note

I saw these three ladies while passing through a village of Bolu by car. They were sitting by the road and timekilling.
I stopped by and photographed them. Then they invited us to have a cup of tea with them. Then we had tea together, they offered us local food, was delicious.
It was Religious holiday, so we shared with each other good wishes and we went by.
Was nice day.

Bu üç teyzeyle ramazan bayramında bolu seben yolunda arabayla giderken karşılaştım. Durup resimlerini çektim, sonra tanıştık, bayramlaştık, bizi bi güzel yedirip içirip ağırladılar. Sonra oturup gelen geçen arabaları birlikte seyrettik.
Güzel bir gün oldu.

Hello Engin,
This is a lovely picture of the three nice old ladies sitting on the simple bench. The colours are great and the surroundings are very interesting to watch. Not much seems to have changed here for many years.

merhaba,
Netliği, renkleri ve insanları ile sıcacık bir kare.
Memleketimiz insanlarından güzel bir kompozisyon.Açıklayıcı notundaki sıcaklığı, misafirperverliği mekandan ve teyzelerin yüzünden anlamamak mümkün değil, genel olarak bütün köylerimizde
durum bu, memleketim insanları böylesi güzelliklere, erdemliğe sahip..Umarım bu insani güzelliklerimiz değişmez, devam eder.
tebrikler, selamlar

Merhaba Engin
These lady were friendly to invite you to share their food which I believe was delicious :) Although they were posing they look natural and seemed to appreciate your presence + camera. Light, colour rendition and framing are great!

Hello Engin,
"Killing-time" is good thing to do when you don't have to work, like in a holiday, and these 3 ladies deserve a spare-time to chat with each other - as most other days they probably work hard, and have no time to meet like hee - your note is a vivid describtion in words.
Loverly image of rural models.

Merhaba Engin

A superb daily life group portrait of these 3 charming elderly ladies from rural Turkey. Good sharpness & impeccable colour saturation. Despite the sunny conditions with strong shadows you've retained good detail in their faces. Tfs!

daddo (18517) 2012-02-28 2:58

Merhaba Engin. A nice way to celebrate Bayram, in the clean air with hospitable people, eating local food which is fresh and delicious. Lovely photo showing us local architecture and way of life. Best wishes. Klaudio.

Hi Engin,

I think, there is something in the photo, but I am not sure about showing too much the sky and the grass. Maybe by cutting of some parts of the photo, you would obtain a bit more interesting photo.
Anyway, that's still an interesting photo.

Cheers,
Mirek

Hello Engin,

You're capturing well this pastoral image by a good angle and excellent tone, so it's impressive to see the spectacle that elders wearing traditional clothes are sitting the bench and spending rich tome. Here is so attractive village from the surrounding environment. It can peep at the original natural life of people which is not visible at urban life. Good photograph!

Kind regards,
mikio
