About Bola de gude is a popular game here in Brazil. There was two boys playing... and moving very fast.
I still can believe I got this capture of one of the two boys.

I added a motion blur on the ball and lens blur on the background, to increase noise.



All comments are wellcome!

When I was young ... after concluded homeworks I spent my time playing with my friends like these boys .....many years ago.....
Great detail on the end and yes good idea to add motion blur to emphasize the point of interest.
PS: take a look to the whole series and to the title too to understand what i mean.
By the way tomorrow you will discover the message embedded in the title....

Voltei ao passado em instante, ao tocar meus olhos em sua imagem, o BW reforçou ainda mais essa imagem

Sensacional

wooowww, Carmen: que buena fotografía, sumamente expresiva y me trae a la mente recuerdos de mi niñez. Increiblemente bien lograda, 7+++++++++++++ y un gran beso :)


Murat Harmanlikli   {K:7846} 9/28/2004
i like it.. very good..


Jorg Reif   {K:16020} 9/28/2004
Hi Carmem,
this is a beautiful shot because on one side it concentrates on the essence of the motif, a relative restricted number of objects but on the other side by your composition and use of light you bring out the texture of each object perfectly giving them all equal importance making this picture very rich. It looks as if you put in here all your love and sensitivity. The smooth skin, the even smoother and shinier glass marbels and in contrast to those the grainy softness of the trousers. On another level: the static strain of the supporting fingers and the easyness of the flipping fingers, setting the one marble in motion in contrats to the other immobile ones. Just so many things to detect. A masterwork in my book. Best regards Jorg


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 9/28/2004
Nicely done Carmem... Very well composed... Love the blur you added it give the shot a great sense of movement... In Mexico will call them "canicas". I spent a great time playing with them when I was a child... Lovely composition...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Tambem chamado de "bila" no nordeste (ao menos em Fortaleza onde morei) :).

Falar o q neh? Vc parece q eh craque em fotografar criancas se divertindo!!!

Linda!!!!


Gilberto Santa Rosa   {K:11147} 9/28/2004
Estou impressionado com a força desta tua imagem em preto e branco. Mais atônito ainda em ver a ubiquidade do jogo. Até na Coréia jogava-se bolinha de gude! Algumas tinham um colorido tão lindo! Quem sabe ainda nos proporcionas mais imagens do jogo, nas quais jogues com as cores, daquele modo que tão bem sabes fazer. Gostaria muito de ver duas crianças jogando bolinhas de gude ao fim da tarde, com aquelas sombras alongando-se sobre o terreiro ...


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 9/28/2004
Ahhh.. what details.. the skin on the boy! Superb composition! You really got the "eye"!! =) Love the tones and light.. perfect! Great reflections from the balls.. So simple.. but so strong! Its a really strong and emotional photo.. I think this one deserves a price!! 7+++

Cheers

Paul Boocock   {K:8314} 9/28/2004
I agree with all the other comments, it's superb and brinngs back playground memories. Now what ever happened to that other playground game, conkers! They seem to just rot away on the ground these days, they never had a chance when I was a kid! ;)


Randy Lorance   {K:24769} 9/28/2004
Boy this brings back memories for a lot of us. Great BW capture, like the close crop and noise. I also like how the marbles are the focus with their sharpness and sparkle.


Lukasz Kuczkowski   {K:14687} 9/28/2004
like the composition here and that you have concentrated on this part of the game;
well done
regards

Ciao...Orazio


Paulo Machado   {K:4482} 9/29/2004
Ótima foto, o movimento ficou muito bom, junto com o angulo baixo, e o PB dá um ar de nostalgia. Cada posição que o fotógrafo(a) fica...


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192044} 9/29/2004

It seems that we could organise a "canicas" tournament amongst usefilm members...

I would, of course, end up with all your balls in my pocket!... ;-) I was THAT good! (like your picture...)


Pedro Libório   {K:53861} 9/29/2004
o momento ficou fabuloso...sabe eu adoro esse jogo..passei parte da minha infância jogando ele...e eu amava...sua linda foto me recordou belíssimos momentos...grande beijinho.
P.S. tenho vindo pouco aqui....apenas uns minutos por dia...respondi a seus comentários pois todos eles me "exigiam" uma resposta...um grande beijinho para você!!!


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59855} 9/29/2004
Amazing beautiful tonality you got here. Both sharp and smooth. A perfect angel also. Excellent. Right into my favs.

:)

Marcio Janousek   {K:32265} 9/30/2004
em miniatura não acreditei tanto na grandeza desta foto Carmem..nem dá pra acreditar que com uma digital se faz tão bela composição..mas voce consegue , os contrastes estão muitos bons e o blur adicionado ajudou a valorizar mais ainda a foto..valeu a jogada, para perfeição faltou uns joelhinhos ou pézinhos do menino aparecendo mais..só um detalhe.+7
Quanto a comentar minhas fotos , as boas ou não boas , que gosta ou não..comente as que queira comentar, e saiba que com suas criticas ou elogios já aproveitei e utilizei , ou me serviram para eu melhorar ou me serviu para me gabar..abraços e obrigado


Fadel J   {K:13747} 9/30/2004
Great work Carmem, Love the composition, tones, and DOF! very beautifull!

Zeev Scharf   {K:25093} 9/30/2004
Excellent capture Dear Carmem,just beautiful
Best regards


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185017} 9/30/2004
Hi Carmem, I like the closed up composition alot. Very effective, and the tension it creates by not telling the entire photo, but leaving it to the viewers imagination makes it have a very strong impact.

Good blur in the for - and background. I'm not sure if I find it very effective in the marble in front, but it does add a nice dynamism. I think it might be even a bit redundant, as the white marble (which seems to be the real one moving) takes care of that dynamism already.

Still, a very good shot. Well captured, and well post processed.

CHeers,

Hugo


Sergio Leal   {K:1454} 10/1/2004
Muito boa Carmen. Criatividade é o que não lhe falta.


Gregory McLemore   {K:26442} 10/1/2004
Beautiful tones I also like the light grain effect, looks very much like a fine film, the capture itself, takes me back to my childhood, excellent clarity and overall quality, very well done.

José Vasconcelos Dias   {K:9189} 10/4/2004
A ideia é muito gira e a preto e branco fica excelente. Acho que todos (ou quase todos) jogámos este jogo quando éramos crianças. Bela foto, parabéns.


Thilo Bayer   {K:50355} 10/4/2004
Dear Carmem,
well done macro composing, interesting noise effect and blur. Just wonder about the composing itself. I think it would be better to have more space to the right as the moving hand shows to the right. just a idea though, hope you know what I mean ;-)
take care,
thilo


Maja Gligoric   {K:13441} 10/4/2004
Nice idea and good realization!Also I like noise effect.

nice image! I agree with you about added motion blur, good choice


Silvia Hudak   {K:1171} 2/25/2005
Bolas de gude são adoráveis e a sua foto também ficou. Achei interessante que um fio no chão fez a bola "quicar".
