La hamaca paraguaya Photo

Photographer’s Note

A beautiful view of a resting hamaque with Cerro Patiño as the background.

Now a few lines copied:

"Cannes. Hamaca Paraguaya.
Lee Marshall reviews Hamaca Paraguaya for Screen Daily: "With a Cannes appearance (in Un Certain Regard) that makes it the first Paraguayan film to screen in the official selection of a major festival - and the only Paraguayan feature shot on 35mm in the last 30 years - Hamaca Paraguaya will delight those self-flagellating cineastes who believe, like the albino monk in The Da Vinci Code, that 'pain is good.'"

If you have the chance to be in Cannes, you can watch the movie.

A link regarding the movie:

For all of those who are interested, paraguayan movie industry is...almost non existent, so this movie is a great effort,

Hamaques are popular in Py, they are very nice to rest in, very comfortable, special for those hot days, when a nap is a need,

K.
Neat image to remove some noise, it was very very dark.
I know, the image lacks focus, not so common when I shoot, but this terrific scene which I was trying to capture in its beauty, was destroyed cause the owner of the hamaque appeared...I guess he imagined I was trying to steal it or something...too bad for my focus...anyway I posted it, to relate it with the movie, many thanks for the comments!
ISO 1600.

May 30th,2006: The movie won an AWARD at the Festival!!!

Congratulations!!!

Hi Kike,
Low light brought probles with focusing, but therefore you got these wonderful colour tones out of the BG, reflected in the water.
Looking at this peaceful scene, it makes me feel sleepy and I would right now jump into the hamaque to have some rest myself.
Hope the film industry strats off well in Py,
Robi

hola Cesar, I like the great symmetry in this image, and the wonderful colors in the background. The sillouettes are really great, and the colors are all well saturated.
nice shot

Nice photo, just a bit out of focus as you say... but i can imagine it's hard to focus when you are running :P

Hola, "la amaca paraguaya" en el jardin de mi casa siempre hubo una y desde chico me pase muchas horas sobre ella, me trae mucho recuerdos, ademas que con esa toma muestras lo bien que se puede estar.
Saludos

Olá Cesar,
bem bonito esse local e a rede ficou fantástica na foto, convidativa para um bom sono. Gostei das cores também.
Parabéns e Abraço!
