Critique Welcomed Balinese Dancers Taking a Break

[Brian Moore]

Shot this last September in Balboa Park in San Diego. They had been performing, or were yet to perform, or both. (I think they're Balinese, but they could be some other nationality.)

Yashica 635 with expired Kodak Portra 400 NC.

Very nice. Good shot of a group of very lovely ladies. (God, I'm an old fogey - "ladies")

Thanks John. Much appreciated.

Very, very nice Brian. Again, I like the 'period' colour and the that wonderful 3D DoF. Almost LF in look.

Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated. I generally opt for Ektar when I shoot Kodak color film but the Portra is really really nice stuff! Thanks again, Pete.

I followed your image back to your website and to the roll taken in Feb. I have a photo of that lad holding a frog taken in Venice. I never processed the raw file though, but will reconnect the original to LR and do so.

So there is more than one Boy with Frog...?

He might have been on his holidays - it was in Sept 2012. I've just read that it was removed in 2013 so maybe it ended up in the Getty.

 

[Pete Askew]

Actually it's really not clear if there was more than one. It looks like there were.

Love this shot, Brian. After seeing the Ladyboys of Bangkok, it's nice to see the real thing!

I do not understand this photographer, taking such a good image of beautiful ladies and not sticking around to photograph more! Or to watch a performance or inquire whether there would be one performance coming up, so he could share it with us. Somebody pulled at your shirt Brian?

Yes. SWMBO. Just kidding. (SWMBO is actually remarkably patient with me.) But seriously there was no point in hanging around. Our available time was short and, for me anyway, capturing the girls in a more natural and relaxed pose would always appeal more than a performance picture. Thanks Ivar.

All I can say is what a wonderful image Brian.
