krpradu 125 Posted February 13, 2018 Is interesting as photo subject,also I think can be very good in bw.I try myself to scan old slides and make them in new format but I wasn't satisfied by result.In 80 years I did most of photo in slides and bw film.Today is so easy with digital tech and can do hundreds of photos in a day and select what we want,never possible this in that time. all my best my friend Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi Radu,..I tried this in B/W but decided to keep the color to highlight two things:first,the impeccable dress code of the man for his attendance at Friday prayers and the red/white checkered ghutra on his head,a sign of his passage at MECCA as I was told by an Indonesian friend.I also have a lot of slides from the 80's of my time in Madagascar and Nigeria which I might eventually get to scan.I also have all the negatives of the images of Indonesia and Peru including those I have on this PN site which are scans off small prints which I am sure would be much better if scanned directly from the negatives....but that is a big job.All this would be different if digital had been available then as you say....and also very far from what it cost then.Salutations my friend-Laurent Link to comment
andrzejp 7 Posted February 14, 2018 Hi Laurent, It is splendid the way it is (despite the fact that there is no much snow or ice; ha ha) I think it will be too "flat" in B&W Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted February 14, 2018 Hi Andrew..Thank you for the appreciation.Snow is very nice for photos but I would gladly trade my Canadian winters for the snowless ones I spent in Africa,Asia and South America.....''those were the days''!Salutations-Laurent Link to comment
Wayne Sadler 572 Posted February 15, 2018 Your love of this place shows. (Looks like it loved you too). Excellent work, Laurent. Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted February 15, 2018 Wayne...Thank you.Indonesia is a great place with most hospitable and kind people.I was there for roughly 3 years...the only down side about it was that I had to work but any time off was camera time.Salutations-Laurent Link to comment
