[Leica] PPL: Guimares - tourists and locals in action

[Ted Grant]

Philippe mon ami,
1/Very nice "wedding party?" Beautiful composition!
2/The "sleeping lady" Not sure what one could say other than "having the
guts" to take the picture in case she woke-up and chased you down the
street!" :-)
3/"The couple and plaza-church in bkgrd?" Composition right on the mark! it
all balances!
4/ The 2 guys on wide open street: Again clean simple composition.
Besides when shooting "touristy postcard" photos quite often having humans
in the photo spoils the mood! Example? A beautiful sea shore or countryside
allowing viewers to imagine themselves in the scene because there isn't
anyone in the scene. Or appreciating nothing more than a beautiful quiet
country lane or pathway.
Some of the most beautiful locations about the world are spoiled simply
because of humans being in the scene!
So Phillippe, may I suggest you just keep on shooting your images with or
without people. WHY? Well one's best photos come from the nice feeling
inside your belly! :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted  :-)

A friendly Lugger wrote that my postcards didn't feature much of human
activity, and rightly so.
Here are four people pixes I have retained so far.

I think the first two might deserve clicking on "large" to be appreciated.

A few more people and BW will follow in the next delivery.

Amities
Philippe
