I have been invited by a friend of mines who teaching in the University of Lisbon, to make an exposition of 50 photos about Asia.

I gathered 143 photos but I must choose 50.
Please, drop me a line about what I have got.
Don't bother to see all the photos ... :):


Some are rather dated but neverless I think they may be good enought.
Obrigado. :thumb

    It's a wonderful gallery, Antonio. The first 3 are among my favorites. I sent you a PM with a list of the ones I like. Hope it helps narrow it down. :D

    Antonio,
    Congratulations on the expo, this is great publicity for you!!! clap.gif

    Since you have turned picture ratings ON, I think it may be easier for everybody (and for you) simply browse through your gallery and give the picture "yeah" if you think it's great, "nay" if you don't think it should be there and leave it unrated if you're on the fence. Then it should give you, the owner, pretty good idea about what's popular and what's not...headscratch.gif

    Nice piccies, btw! thumb.gif

    My favorites from the website. No order.
    Incense
    Two Girls. wonder what they are talking about
    Hotel Can be used as contrast in living
    Woman Nice expression
    Woman/Child/Dog I like this, it makes me ask questions about it

    Those are just some of the ones I like. The ones that popped out at first that would be good, or things I would see in NG Magazine. Nice photos. Have a fun time choosing.

    you definitely have 50 good ones in there.

    i think the rating idea is a good way to do it.

    I want to express my gratitude for all the comments you all have been posting on this gallery.

    In fact, as Nikolai said, it is good in terms of publicity though I am not expecting anything, which is even better if something (like what ?) happens.
    I know: A commitment to go to South India, hotel and food included one month and shoot as hell. rolleyes1.gif

    Confusing sentence ? Did I made myself clear ? Hope so.

    Allow me now, randomly to make some comments myself about the pictures:
    85386594-Ti.jpg
    Shot with the Nikon I sold some monthes ago. Treated with photoshop when I was a child in this program (I still am). The photo is good in the net but I wonder if it is good on paper, as it is a jpg saved too often.
    85379812-Ti.jpg
    Here the same aplies in terms of quality.
    This is in a market in InLay lake. A place to visit. The light was very harsh.
    Nikon shot 43291117-Ti.jpg
    85356237-Ti.jpg
    This is Canon 20 D, late evening the sun is at our right. pano of 2 (or 3 ?) pictures in photoshop.
    This is a Hilton Hotel in some lake (my wife is not here) artificially built.

    This woman is very unhappy. She is weaving silk. Canon 20D and 16-35mm

    Travelling with this company - asia.fr - is good.
    We have been to Asia with them 5 or 6 times.
    But here is a visit to a "long house" a house where 100 people lieve.
    Not very clean. Dogs around, no sewedge. (drains of human excrements), mosquitos (malaria, yellow fever, etc.).
    This day they set the table on the ground !
    We ate nothing.
    One must be very careful with diarrea (there is an H somewhere) and other deseases...
    Not very pleasing to be ill and travel at the same time.eek7.gif

    This is the "long house". To our back its the same distance. This is the large common corridor and the house expands to our left with several doors, one by family.
    My wife has more shots. She likes to shoot people.

    She wants to use my 70-200 IS because she says it's her "little bird lens" because it makes us to be near the target.

    The lens is too heavy for her. I carry it and she shoots ne_nau.gif

    Enought.


    Regards and obrigado again.
