This week’s challenge : In the background
Still unable to take new pictures, I rummaged once more among the archives and remembered one of my favorite pictures : in Luang Prabang, Laos, I tried many times to have a good shot of monks roaming the city in their colorful clothes. That day, my camera was still set on « auto » so it focused on the trees instead of the boys… I just love the green and orange mix and those beautiful persons in the background…
[Es] Sigo sin cámara así que no puedo sacar nuevas fotos; busco en mis archivos y recuerdo de una de mis fotos favoritas : en Luang Prabang, Laos, intenté varias veces de sacar una buena foto de los monjes andando las calles de la ciudad en sus vestidos de colores. Ese día, la cámara estaba en « auto » e hizo el foco en los árboles en vez de los niños… me encanta la mezcla de verde y naranja al frente y esas hermosas personas en el fondo…
[Fr] Je n’ai toujours pas d’appareil photo pour en prendre de nouvelles alors je cherche dans mes archives et me souviens d’une de mes photos préférées : à Luang Prabang au Laos, j’ai essayé à plusieurs reprises de faire une belle photo des moines parcourant la ville dans leurs beaux vêtements de couleurs. Ce jour-là, l’appareil était en mode « auto » et a fait le point sur les arbres en premier plan au lieu des garçons… J’adore le mélange de vert et d’orange au premier abord et ces merveilleuses personnes en arrière plan…

Love the monks Juls! Good choice.
Thanks Tina! I remember your pictures of monks and can only hope that some day I’ll have as good pictures as yours! meanwhile, I’m a fan of this one! 😉
Of course the colours are what draw me to this but, upon reflection, I also like the calm, natural world of vegetation on the left contrasting with the cars on the right. The monks walk the middle way – literally and figuratively..
Beautiful colors.
Sometimes my iPad refuses to focus on what I’d like it to focus on. Too bad I didn’t keep all those pictures. 🙂 Fortunately, I had one that worked. You’re right about how colorful the clothes are.

that’s the problem with the « auto » but, yeah, sometimes, it takes a picture different from what you wanted to take, doesn’t mean that it isn’t a great shot! Maybe you’ll keep them now, just in case… 😉
This kind of « street » photography isn’t really my thing, and by that I mean not what I normally shoot, so I really don’t know what I’m talking about. But I like that the camera focused on the tree instead of the monks.
Sometimes, the « auto » mode does wonders! 😉
I live in Berkeley, California and while it doesn’t happen everyday, there are times where you’ll run into the occasional fully clothed monk or two. Nice shot.
That must be quite a sight, then… In Asia, it was a rather usual sight but so different from what I’m used to, I kept shooting and shooting… and then, I just loved that one! 😉
