Night Market Morocco
-
First shot of many from a recent trip around Morocco. Has yet to be printed (wet darkroom) so any suggestions are welcome I have a a fair few that where shot on the same night.
superb shot. Do you think an increase in contrast would give it a little extra hint of punch
I really like this shot – looks really difficult to have taken – but you captured the atmosphere really well
I agree a little contrast will help.. Great Shot !!

Cheers, took a few shots to get right was more diffcult to compose than anything else, am hoping for something with faces on the other rolls. Thanks for the comments I have yet to print so as much input as I can get before heading to darkroom is very usefull
cool picture-
I personally don’t agree with people telling you what might have been, but you mention that this is the first in a series-
if you have one that shows the face of the man in the middle of the pic, i’d like to see that, but you mention that already;
and if the guy in the baseball cap had moved on by then, well so much the better.I don’t think it needs more “punch”; if this is how its been shot (on film) then perhaps it could be printed full frame using the rebates to define maximum black.
I don’t see any problem in printing mostly greys, if that is what the picture is.
well done for doing the printing thing, too many pictures remain backlit on monitors, and never get to sit on paper.
seeing a beautiful print of a good photograph is always a joy.best of luck with the rest of them-

hi Gavin,- nice picture
the rebate is the part of the film which was masked by the camera just outside the image.
this part of the film is unexposed and is your reference for base fog level, if I remember correctly.
on a well exposed negative this should give you your blackest black soonest.If you can find a mount for your enlarger thats slightly bigger than your image (by 1-2mm),
not only do you get a handy on-print exposure guide, and a fine black line to frame your image, (the actual shadow of your camera)
but you also get the smug satisfaction of printing every bit of the negative.Check out the zone system.
I’ve been digital now for a while,
but you can’t beat a good wet print.have looked into the zone system and am still trying to apply in every day..thanks for the tip on rebate..just a quick Qs does the zone system apply with digital
interesting place and atmosphere..a bit surreal and misty. If you didn’t say it was market I wouldn’t quess. Interesting shot.
The only thing I wish..if somebody looked staright into camera..Maybe if you wait for that moment or did it that way so he could look staright at you while everybody else is busy.tatiana wrote:

I like this one – it is a true travel shot with plenty of atmosphere. There is little I’d like to suggest. At most a bit of very light, subtle burning around the caps of the two stall traders on the right with their backs to the camera. Great work, though. I’d love to see more of Morocco.
BTW, the zone system, or an adaptation of it, is partly relevant to digital photography. I’ll try to dig up a link or book reference on it. If Simon (Allinthemind) happens to read this maybe he’d comment. He was the first person to draw my attention to its significance – on that occasion in the context of portrait photography.
