Milking Time

[Tom Dunne]

Being going through some old travel shots and I thought I would share this one with you.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

It's definately an environmental and telling picture from a part of the world which is absolutely unfamiliar to me. And as such, a very interesting one which conveys daily life in those parts. I assume it's in China Tom. A very good picture it is.

 

[Brian Moore]

Tibet...? They do have cows in Tibet (as well as yaks). I Googled it.

What camera, Tom. And what film,...do you recall? Nice tones on this image and a delightful pastoral scene.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent image Tom.

Thanks Ivar. It was in western Sichuan and skirting the Tibetan border.

You have every reason to see this as film Brian but this was taken with my previous Pentax digital. It is just a small part of a much bigger picture, which I liked too; I just wanted to isolate the lady milking from everything else. It survived the crop pretty well I think and the film look came from fiddling in Photoshop.
Thanks very much for commenting Brian.
Yes, the border of Tibet, with cows and yaks

Lovely flow to this Tom and the reduced colour is very effective I think. It is quite film-like.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks very much Pete.

 

[Beth Carter]

[Tom Dunne]
