Nice shot and the colors are terrific.
Which scanner did you use for this or in general for your film shots?

Rui Pires Hi Tareq. I use Epson V700. Most part of my photos in this gallery are done with film and V700, and old ones with Canon 8800F.

Olá Rui, esta fotografia saíu da tua "linha" normal de fotografia. Está fantástica com a prespectiva a beneficiar a imagem.

Increvi-me neste site, e ainda ando a "nadar...". Acho este site de altíssima qualidade e com fotografias de grande nível.
Abraço e até um dias destes...73

Quando voltares a Macedo, dá uma apitadela. Será um prazer receber-te... e aprender um pouco contigo, eh eh.
De qualquer modo, no dia 15 não estávamos cá, mas a esquiar...

Rui Pires Thank you :)

As I told you before, this should (must) be in colour but I believe that in b&w will be also a great photo. Congrats Rui!

Rui Pires Claro que isto tinha de ser a cores, ou em termos internacionais não transmitiria a essência do careto. Em preto e branco transmitiria apenas texturas, o que seria incompleto em termos documentais. Ganhaste, a bicicleta é tua ;)))

Great shot Rui, I really like the perspective and the colourful clothes which make it very interesting.

Rui Pires Thank you, Bragi :)
In this day i´m feel a bit like a real Iceland guy, there was -11ºC and this is absolutely not normal in my country, yes, i know -11ºC is like summer to you:)) All the best

Brin LOL - That must be cold in your country - how are the goats?
This winter has been very good here in Iceland,
it has been rather cold for couple of days now, around -5°C
but despite that it has mostly been warm in February, up to +10°C
and we have hardly seen any snow this winter in my part of the country at least.
Best regards

Vi em miniatura e pensei que era tua, mas duvidei pelo enquadramento, que não costumas usar muito, do qual não desgosto :) Ta brutal a foto, e é incrivel o detalhe que a maquina foi buscar as baixas luzes ali em cima na madeira. É bom que estas tradições não terminem com o tempo! Abraço

Rui Pires Tens de distinguir dois tipos de fotografia que faço, a "documental" de pessoas, usos e costumes, onde procuro que as coisas aconteçam como se eu não estivesse lá, e a "documental" mais informativa onde recorri à encenação mais para transmitir a informação da tradição e evento em si, com a figura característica do "careto". Tambem, como é um "mascarado" não havia expressão ou sentimento a transmitir e registar, logo restou a dignificação do mesmo com opção por este enquadramento ;) Abraço

Jose Luis Cunha Sim eu sei ;) eu apercebi-me disso. So disse isso mesmo em relação a não ser habital. Porque como ja te disse acho-a fantastica. Abraço

Rui, I believe you have surprised us all with the color..which is so filled with life too. :) Nevermind the goats, something different from you...its very good. :) My best, Phyllis

Rui Pires Thank you, Phyllis. I will try to upload some of my colour works more times :)

Rui Pires Thank you, Véronique :)

Ursula I Abresch 2 years ago

The Michelin man, in colour! Love this, Rui. You're good with colour :)

Rui Pires Thank you, Ursula. I use also color for many works, specialy when colour is essencial in the subject. In this case, i think is esencial, because the colours of the "careto" is a important information for documentary purposes. Thank you :)

Colour! Love the perspective. I shot the Sydney Chinese new year on Sunday and will be doing Mardis Gras in EIR and colour this saturday with a 50 1.2 and a 14-24. I will take your shot into consideration for influence!

Rui Pires I´m essencialy a BW photographer, Richard, but as i said before, i have also colour roll film in my pocket :) I will try to publish more in colour. Good luck in Sydney and wich you superb photos :)

Ricky Siegers 2 years ago

My fav Rui even without the goat...:) and I believe this is your third non BW pictures in 1X.
And I like the color combination between the carnival uniform and the serrounding, I like the contradiction. Bring diferent dimension.

Rui Pires Thank you, Ricky :)

That's you dressed to go clubbing. You don't fool me. . . ;-)

Strangely, my ex wife has some fabric exactly the same as the trousers of this guy. . .

Rui Pires And you dress it, Jon ? :)
Thank you ;)

A timeless photo for a timeless carnival.
Good use of color to illustrate the tradition.
Well done Rui.

Rui Pires Obrigado, Jorge :)
Achei curioso um membro Grego ali em baixo dizer que lá há parecido, pois se esta fatiota tem origem em cultos ao deus Pan, nasceu mesmo na Grécia antiga. Adoro a componente inter-cultural deste sites internacionais. Abraço

very nice Rui, reminds me of some places here in Greece.

Rui Pires Yes, Faddoush, i know you have something like this in your country, also "Pan" is a Greek god ... maybe this rituals have born in your country in beggining of times :)
Thank you ;)
