An image taken from a new tunnel. It is a small project remained dormant months. The idea is to collect a number of significant portraits captured in Karamoja, revisiting them in key low-key. The choice of dark tones idea of ??creating a sort of negative dazzling reality (in terms porprio strong light) of the landscapes in which these people live. The negative who would like to bring to the surface the hard feelings of a people struggling to survive every day. The pictures should be seen in the context of the whole tunnel.

Although I really do find it hard to see Africa in b & n I must say that your project is interesting.
I like the construction and the subjects are remarkable for the beauty of the faces that scarification and hairstyles.
I find the excessive pp on a couple of shots.

Hello Nkoringo, from your nickname I can imagine that you are knowledgeable of Africa. Have you ever been in Uganda? A family of Gorilla "used" bears your same name! Thank you for the comment and for the detailed critique. For how hard I tried I was not able to apply a pp identical to all the shots in the series. Unfortunately, at the level of post-production are still very deficient, because paradoxically, is the aspect that requires more time (much more than shoot) and also requires tools (often expensive) I do not own. In general, pp. applied is very simple (compensation, contrast) but also to me about some shots of the gallery is not convincing to 100% (upload photos here on the forum especially for this).

The bright and vivid colors, bright lights are surely the most recognizable features of theAfrican landscapes. The b / w is the tool that the photographer (a good one not me:-P) can be used to give more prominence to aspects equally characteristic but less "visible" in color. It also leaves more room for interpretation subjective portrait of the moment. Hence the idea of ??this gallery.

Thanks again for passing through!

The project is very interesting, on pp. I fully agree.
Those in which you are in my opinion the most successful in your intent are Karamojong Girl and Young Karamojong.
Smiling Girl of sin to the eyes in shadow, but I really like the point and the composition slightly off-center.
In the Mother instead rivedrei pp especially on the child, I think there is a little 'posterization.
In Old Woman with Machete very beautiful compo, but I would try to bring out more of the machete. You lose a lot with the ground and at first glance you perceive. Once seen, however, by a lot of strength to the photo.

Sorry if I was a bit long-winded in the comments!
But the project intrigues me and deserves investigation.
Expect more shots.
Hello,
Simone

ps.
for the PP because it does not evaluate the software's Nick?
Silver Efex is the best (in my opinion and many others) software to create good bn. You could take advantage of the offer that there is at this time ([URL =] www.niksoftware.com/nikcollection/it/intro.html ) that allows you to have the full suite at a price extremely lucrative, $ 149!
I assure you that normally costs much much much more.

Hello Simocre!

Thanks to the excellent critical .. are exactly the shots you mentioned to leave me less happy. "Old woman with machete" in particular is a picture designed in color, the scene lacks natural contrasts (shadows, tonal passages ..) and I had in fact much more difficult to give an interpretation bn .. I think it is a fundamental mistake probably the rule it out from the series.

Thanks for the cue of Silver Efex! I do it all the time with free sw: ViewNX and windows live .. currently have a moment to green but $ 149 is a small investment that I could do.

Hello!

Have you ever been in Uganda? A family of Gorilla "used" bears your same name!


My nickname comes from there ... is the group that we approached during the tracking. The fact the exact name of the group is Nkuringo, I wrote it wrong and so it has remained ... :-)
Incredible experience, that of the gorilla, but also Uganda: really left its mark, it was the trip that has sanctioned my (and my wife) passion for Africa.

As for the PP, maybe I can hardly see these faces, which are true by the most genuine as it gets, "modified" so sometimes unnatural. I speak in generic line and color photography.
In your case, since it isThese photos in b & w, takes over the artistic aspect (completely desaturate a photo is a heavy intervention of pp and therefore, according to me, an artistic interpretation of the image) so everything becomes justifiable (in a good way) and is interpreted by the viewer that those who have tripped.
This is a project, then evolution and provides the opportunity to review the pages until it meets your idea.
Hello

@ Nkoringo: Ah .. I knew it! Sorry, but we now want to see your gallery then Uganda!

I'm not a amantae of PP, indeed .. I would say just the opposite. In my galleries "journey" processed images are zero (that is always the talk that not being able ..). Studying a little 'bn But I also realized that a picture can tell different things depending on how you interpret lights / shadows and shading of the scene being shot. Quite simply, in this same image in color scarification, skin texture, the depth of the eye play a minor role as they need to be ("must" for me) to be the center of the photo. Then this interpretation, low-key and high-contrast are clearly the result of my subjective taste (and also dependent on the mood of the moment) .. but in my intention always addressed to "tell" what mthe hit. As you say well you have to work hard to reach a result that satisfies us.

@ Simocre: thanks again tonight, do a tour on the site.

Photographing still analog, but especially with a technical little more than "point and shoot" ... :-( :-|

Great reason to come back, no ...?
