[Ossie]

And now for something different…………….but I hope within the theme of the challenge.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Sadly no beautiful blue skies or azure blue seas on this trip.

Yildiz, Great to have you back.

You could've posted that shot in "The fresh air" challenge too. Nice shot.

Hello Ossie,

It's wonderful to see you on board too. Welcome!

As Dr. Harout put it nicely, your image qualifies for more than one of the challenges that are running at the moment. But of course, we respect your submission choice.

I love watching these contests live and always admired the synchronic rythm of the rowers. Good to see rythm in an other theme and that's one lively water surface with a restless appearance. It must have been windy.

Thanks for sharing and coming aboard Ossie!

Very nice Bakubo,

I suppose that drum is made of brass and rather loud. I can almost feel the resonance around the space...

Actually, the big drum is made of wood and, yes, it is loud. By the way, here is some info about Meiji-jingu:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_Shrine

I can't count the number of times I have been there since 1985. It is located near Harajuku in Tokyo and although in the middle of the city the shrine complex is in the middle of a beautiful forest.

Both shot with film with my Minolta XM.

Ah, so the drum is a wooden piece! That's interesting. I was misled by the temple drums and bells I saw earlier at temples. They use a lot of cast metallic instruments...

You certainly are a lover of the Far Eastern life and traditions. Lots of history with them.

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Yildiz

Cogito;

Beautiful shots with film! It feels so good seeing film photos at such a digitally competitive era.

The second photo, in the shade of a cherry tree with the hypnotic moves of the 'dancing' drummers as they keep up to their rytmic beats in the distance, almost made me spring up with the mood as well. Lovely spring tradition!

Thanks,

Yildiz

..... It feels so good seeing film photos at such a digitally competitive era.

Yildiz, Thanks! The bar scene was in England - about 1990. The other was in San Francisco about 1990. Both before we had any type od digital camera. So it's a case of trawling through those negatives that I've scanned and am a bit pleased with....
Sorry about the glare from the pub window - I could probably do better PP.

Here's another from the last week-end (the other I posted to Challenge #12). The nasal sound of those natural horns is truely intriguing.

Now a real challenge for Olaf - a group of Bergsangers marching in costume with Thuringer waldzithern (Hamburger waldzithern accepted as a substitute - I play Hamburger waldzither, never seen a Thuringer instrument at a decent price!).

Video works?

it's Minolta related because I shoot this a couple of years ago with my Dimage A2, in the C train going back home in Brooklyn at 3AM...
Yeah, another reason for asking Sony for a v-dSRL

La Habana, about 10 years ago, with the XPan

Olaf;

Nice composition and definitely interesting instruments...


Pako;

No videos for now I'm afraid, Pako! Maybe when there's a good number of hi-definition, video-capable-DSLR owners around we may get to that phase. I'm certain that it would be yet an other exciting experience for everyone as there'll also be good lenses around providing many artisitic ventures!

We'll have to abide by stills and that's a nice photo of local sounds...

Thanks

Yildiz

Feeling the rhythm and hearing the sound...Music and dance definitely come to mind first in literal sense and though they definitely make the grade, we’re not to be limited to them. We are welcome to visual rhythms in nature and abstract that almost have a musical quality that only through ‘seeing’ can we hear in our minds.

For me there is definitely an associated memory of rhythm and sound in this picture. It is a photo of my daughter competing in the annual Newport to Catalina Island race in California, which has a distance of 45-50 km over the ocean. I took this image 8 years and 1 day ago, using a Minolta X-570 film camera. I scanned the negative in 1991 on a Polaroid 4000 scanner and made an 8"x10" (20cmx25cm) framed print of it, in addition to using the image in the screen saver on my computer.

Wow, an archives' photo that's stood the test of time Tom!

The ladies are giving it everthing they've got in there, wonderful moments that every girl should have to remember with pride. It really is a sport of rythm and harmony to conclude in an efficient timing and effort.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz
