Coffeehouse Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Typical Turkish coffehouse and typical faces. Lazy hours in a dim athmosphere.
Türk kahvehaneleri ve tipik yüzler. Çok loş bir ortamdı sanırım 1/10-20 hızda çekmiştim. Renkli negatiften tarama yaptım.

Hello Recep. A photo worth seeing. Older men "hang around" in a Cafee. One sees however no beverage. And the men have to do also nothing. They do not even converse. Everyone is busy only with itself. It looks in such a way, as if they would sit in a waiting hall and waited for their end. I assume however that they have a family. Nevertheless are they alone. Much harm. The photo is a very good study of people. It pleases me very well. Many greetings, Wolfgang.

Hello Recep,

Excellent shot, the 17-40 in a Film body is so wide!!!Love the framing and the mood of the place is very well captured.

Hi Recep,

really good. Nice wid angle and you go so close to the guy. Great distribution of men in the frame, it reminds me of PeterC's shot a lot. Good docu work.

Hi Recep.
J'aime bien cette scène de vie, ils ont l'air d'attendre que le temps passe, juste là, à discuter du passé...je trouve vraiment chouette.
Ensuite, ton cadrage est vraiment bon, le pov proche de cet homme est idéal, et puis ces 3 hommes autour de la table dans 3 positions bien différentes...
Une dof un peu plus longue aurait été un plus, histoire de les avoir un peu plus net....enfin, c'est mon avis.
Bref, un bon moment que t'as figé là.
Joli
Fred

What a great shot, really superb. I could imagine this in National Geographic.

AmiBe (6042) 2006-09-22 5:59

Hi Recep,
good compo, good use of the wide-angle.
The atmosphere is really relaxed. :)
DOF is a bit too short maybe.
Well done

Beautifully rendered scene, recep, very fine indeed. "Nat Geo" style. Excellent use of the 17-40 here, anchoring the shot with a close up of the old guy on the right, peeling off to his mates on the left and in the back.
Super job!
Selam,
Francis

Hello Recep,
A picture I probably missed a few days ago. Although it lacks some sharpness I find it very very elegant as a composition. Of course you had better chances to take a sharper picture with a digital camera. Color Negatives seem so remote nowadays.

All the best - Izzet Keribar

bayıldığım yerler buralar benim (benim mekanlar! :) çok dengeli, sağlam bir kompozisyon, gri ton da nefis..Üslubunu böyle zaman zaman değiştirmen bence çok olumlu, kendini yenileyebilmek çok önemli çünkü (ben ne zaman grafik görüntüler çekeceğim allah bilir! ;)
selam ve sevgiler.

hello Recep,
I have been browsing your image and fid them very interesting,. This one especially. It has a melancholic quality and makes me think of the famous play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett. Have you heard of it? In the play two men wait and wait and wait. They do nothing much and we are never told why they wait for Godot or if he ever turns up.
regards
Bev
