Showing the people watching instead of what they are watching. But it makes it sort of hard to figure out what is going on. Actually, with the phone having so much prominence, it sort of looks like a camera phone ad.

> For some reason, I rather like this one, taken on the beach while everyone > else was watching the fireworks. I like it. It is a creative/different way to capture the feeling of watching a fireworks display. I don't particularly care for the girl and her cell, but that is nothing to do with your picture. It is just that I am easily annoyed with seeing people always attached to their palm/cell/blackberry and especially iPod. (So you really *can't* take that thing out of your skull for just three minutes and be sociable?!?) But I digress.. nice shot russell -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: PESO - Night life on the beach
Amending myself: there are some fireworks visible in the background, However, maybe they're not enough for understanding the situation.

Re: PESO - Night life on the beach
Thanks Bruce, If you look carefully, you'll see more cellphones in action in the backgroud. That makes that picture a sign of our times, I think.

Re: PESO - Night life on the beach
Thanks Ken, An orgy? Not enough skin, I'm afraid :-) IMO, what is interesting in this picture is also the background, giving some context. However, I admit that without a proper explanation you could have some problem figuring out the situation, as there's no firework visible. This probably adds some mystery, hence fascination. At least, that's my opinion. I was also thinking of trying some vertical shots including the fireworks, but at the end I didn't find a proper composition, as the fireworks were too high in the sky and too bright compared to the main subject. I could try a composite image, but I'm currently happy with the result.

Re: PESO - Night life on the beach
Thanks Paul. That was quite a studied shot, starting from choosing the right spot to sit with my family and watch the fireworks. Then I took a few shots when the fireworks made enough light available. However, the light was so quick changing and the results were rather unpredictable.This was the first shot, and the best one.

Hello Dario, It is pretty cool. The explanation does help to know why they are there. I especially like the inclusion of the person with the cell phone. Adds something to the mix.

RE: PESO - Night life on the beach
Very good indeed. Seems like a particularly Italian scene - a whole bunch of young people lying on top of each other.
