Witaj Janie,

ile lat ma to zdjecie? Wyglada jakby bylo zrobione 50 lat temu. Fascynuje mnie fotografia Korei tuz po wojnie koreanskiej, czyli lata 50te i 60te i patrzac na to mamwrazenie jakbym patrzyl na ksiazke fotografii z tamtej ery. Bardzo mi sie to podoba.

Świetny - taki autentyczny oldscoolovy klimat :) - czuć ORWO :)

powiem ci że ta kolorystyka i takie "toporne" zeskanowanie mają swój niepodważalny urok, wartyość historyczna tej serii jest znamienna;
keep going;

Cześć Janek!
Fantastyczna "archiwalna" kolorystyka. Kolejne zdjęcie posiadające wartość historyczną. Miło si ę ogląda takie foty, wracając pamięcią do czasów ORWO ;-).

Witaj Janie,
Skanowanie to mój sposób na fotografię stąd wiem co oznacza ten termin jak i to, ile należy włożyc pracy w kadr prawie utracony. Właśnie ta "mordęga" nad trudną materią jak i historia zawarta w znikającym obrazie czynią tak powstałe fotki wartością samą w sobie.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek

It looks like a very old postcard from the beginning of XX century. Great impression. Convert to sepia was good idea. Perfect series, indeed.

Hi Jan,
This color version looks like a sepia version.Amazing tone of the colors looks like a scene from the past.Excellent work and captured!

Greetings,

Thomas

Wartosc archiwalna zdjecia - niepodwazalna.
Sepiaste kolory graja tutaj swoje smutne adagio nadzwyczajnie.
Skan dosc podlej jakosci, ale lata swoje robia.
Widac ze solidnie pracowales nad odzyskaniem tego historycznego cacka.

Witaj Jan.
Sure, is not the best scanning. But we talk about the photo.
Even if is not a "great" photo, has something special.
18 years later is an useful photo because let to us learn about the life in this place and the life of this people.

Thanks for share.

Witam!
A gdzie ty się tam chłopie znalazłeś? Widoki iście kosmiczne, bez wątpienia to ciekawe miejsce na świecie. Te barwy też są interesujące i jak zauważa fis2 przypomina się firma ORWO. Kiedy to zdjęcie zrobiłeś? Pachnie dość zamierzchłą historią.

Hello Jan,
Elle a un aspect un peu spéciale celle-ci,mais cela nous montre la désolation et le chaos de certains endroits dans le monde comme ici.
Amitiés Joseph

No tak, tam byla wojna, smutno to wyglada a reportaz dobry. Poogladales sobie. Przyzwoity skan.

I enjoyed your shots of the old Vietnam that you have posted. You can see before the tourist $$ appeared how things were. There is so much difference now and then. Also I believe the UNESCO recognition also did wonders to the place. Your shots gave a good insight of how it was not so long ago. TFS Andre

Hi Jan,
the famous rocks in the background are great figurants in this daily life scene that looks like a 19th century picture.
Great effect.
Regards, Gerrit

Vinicio

Witaj
Czy to znaczy, że w 1988 to jeszcze nie była perła turystów i wyglądało jak na załączonym obrazku? Robi wrażenie i nawet ta jakość mi odpowiada w tym wypadku.
Miłego dnia

hi jan
Again a well done scanning of an interesting motif of this journey.
The grain and brownish colour setting is perfect for this one. Interesting detail included in the compo

Hello Jan
The colour tone of the picture is particularly attractive. It's also interesting to see what it was like almost 20 years back. I also like the hills in the BG & the two people standing on the roof..a very mood photo
