Photo souvenir, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

I just bought my camera and lens and this was one of the first pictures I took.
The "bravade" is a meeting where you have old dances, Provence folk music, parades, in praise of Saint François de Paule who came in 1482 in Fréjus and protect the persons living there from the plague.
« Recoumandas-vous toujour à Francés de Paulo, e d’aquéu grand bénfa de la deliéurenço de la pèsto pèr sei preguière n’en perden jamai la memòri.»

A folk group of women in old Provence cloth is taken in picture by one of them. Smile, cheese!

hello Claude,

J'aime bien cette approche gentiment teintée d'humour pour nous présenter cette brochette de madames très folklorisantes "folklo"comme c'est qu'on dit!
Ya de la couleur dans une bonne lumière et visiblement de la part de ces"poupées régionales"un vrai plaisir d'être là,comme ça, pour être regardées et bien sûr photographiées.
Cordialement.

Hi Claude
isn't it the case that there is almost always 1 person in a group photo who has their eyes closed!!
The 3 women to the left, they are the star of the show..they each have a unique look on their faces.
cute shot!
Cheers
Craig

Bien joué; jolie capture de cette belle brochette de dames folklos.; Il me semble qu'il y en a une que tu as distraite et qui regarde vers ton objectif.
Amicalement

Hello Claude,

You're capturing well this interesting set photograph by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see ethnic costume of a good time. It's so lovely and charming. Especially white hat and shawl are interesting. Good shot in festival.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio

Awesome capture for your first photograph! Nice posing of those ladies in custome clothes. Good pov and dof with nice details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hi Claude
This is good technique, grab her in action to make the picture tells a story even though they are fully aware of your presence. She is well positioned, the most effective element to hold the focus on but with lovely glimpse of the colorful slight out of focus ladies, their cheery livens this shot. A deightful street candid image well rendered. Great capture. Congrats
Best regards

Bonjour Claude,
very funny capture. It would fit well to the theme "Photographing the photographer". I like the traditional clothes -it could have been takem hundreds of years ago :)

Hello Clodo,

It's a very happy photo, with the ladies all posing for a friend, rather than a stranger. Colorful, well composed, flawlessly exposed. You were at the right place at the right time, Claude.

Warm regards,

Bulent
