from seriousness to LOL ("bye bye !") Photo

Photographer’s Note

My last one for some time as I need to prepare for a next travel, certainly not my best but I cannot resist : I met these girls who were laughing aloud in the street, they smiled at me but for the photo they were first grave, solemn and serious. I tried to get more relaxed expressions and joked with them...

Focus was on the girl on the right, which is of course a mistake. Could not get her laughing, the other girl was easier.

My contribution to Polonaise's "Smiling Infectivity" famous theme... I like these changes of facial expressions and looking back at this series makes me happy and laughing again.

Have a good start of 2009 ! (Large version here).

A la question, quelles filles sont les plus belles (Thailandaises, Francaises, Italiennes...) j'ai une seule reponse: celle qui n'epargnent pas le sourire. Tes fillettes sont des plus belles!

Merci amie et ... fais un bon voyage et rentre avec des trophes dans ton objectif.

Amicalement a toi

Branko

Last for the while, I hope ;))).
Et tu nous apporteras des photos de voyage ensuite.
Excellent collage, excellentes poses.
Je me demandais si s'était lumix mais je vois que ton ixus (et je l'ai déjà dit) donne aussi de bons résultats. Les couleurs sont parfaites !
Joyeux et symathique, j'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés et bon voyage. Grazyna.

:) :))) :))))))))

What makes people laugh ? Is it coming more from outside or from inside ? You propose us an answer to the question.

Nice idea and greatly executed indeed.

Greeting T.

lovely "study" of the laughing process...

three stages suffice here... two different faces, two different "styles" of laughing...
most enjoyable photo, cath!

all the best in the New Year, and all the best during your next travel...

Bonjour Catherine

A good triptych of the duo metamorphising from serious to jubilant. Good colour, sharpness & graphism. Tfs!

Hi Catherine,
Excellent succession of shots! I like it a lot, it is a good idea. The large version is fantastic. Colours well communicated, the joy even more, of course.

Bonjour Catherine

I think you have done a great job with those young ladies. It reminds me of those old supermarket booths that took cheap fotos back in the 70's but yours are really unique. Candid in their expression, excellent professional details and very good colors, all compose a very good image. Above all I like the rolling expression in their faces from left to right. Really inventive concept.

My compliments and TFs
Amities
