Toma tomate, a photo from Madrid, Madrid

Photographer's Note

The orchard of the east grandfathers year has been very generous and there was no way to eat all the tomatos, so of the solutions it is to dry them to the sun and to package them to consume them in the winter. This that you see it is the first step. , later already dry, they are packaged covering them with olive oil (oregano, garlic, pepper and salt) and good benefit!

Interesing composition and very nice side light. For some reason I am personally missing a little more space on the left. Thanks a lot for sharing, Florin

Bravo Paco:
Muy muy bien, me gusta la foto, simple pero con un colorido, una nitidez, las manos dejando los trozos de tomates, esa luz de la mańana (me imagino)...
Una toma sencilla pero completa técnicamente (según me punto de vista: -D)

Un abrazo ..........Eva

Very original photo. The colours are very inciting. However, I suppose you wanted to title the photo "Toma tomate". The automatic translator has played a joke on you. Be careful.

Hola Paco.
Muy bueno el detalle y muy buenos los colores.
También me gusta mucho el uso de la luz.
Un saludo.

MiguelP (14470) 2005-10-08 14:21

La luz aquí es fantástica, y eso ya hace el resto... Bueno, no es verdad, el intenso color rojo y la forma que crean los tomates también hacen lo suyo. No soy muy tomatero, pero estos me los comería. Muy bonita, sí seńor.
PD: Congratulations for the english note... Why are you complaining all the time about us writting in english when you´ve been able to manage the situation here quite splendidly? Pues eso Quillo, que estoy de cońa.

Hola Francisco,

This picture showing us close-up work on drying tomatoes, I couldn't miss because, I've also been on a field where tomatoes are let to dry around Izmir in Turkey. But I never thought about taking the hands only. Excellen framing and POV and incredible sharpness all over.

Many thanks - Friendly yours - Izzet

alejandroguzman (4684) 2005-10-10 21:35

Hola PAco:

Que estupenda composicion... el rojo intenso que capturaste esta FENOMENAL !!!!

abrazos

neilhenderson (43) 2005-10-12 18:51

Hola Francisco - my favourite shot of yours - point of view and depth of field close to perfect. As mentioned below, the picutere doesn't obey all the rules, but I don't mind that. Congratulations. Neil

kLe (2196) 2005-10-14 12:28

Excelente!!! Lo tiene todo bueno esta foto que parece tan sencilla. Buen punto de vista, buena luz. Buena composición. Incluso has respetado la proporcion 2/3. Las manos no sólo ańaden un toque de humanidad sino que hacen la foto mas dinámica. La nota es estupenda para explicarnos lo que pasa aquí y para mí que aunque tomatero no conocía cómo se secaban los tomates me parece muy ilustrativa.

Bonita composición con un toque de color perfecto. Tambien una profundidad de campo muy bien lograda.
Muy bien!

aralda (1240) 2005-10-28 5:12

What a lovely subject and note!
Great composition and crop! I like the tomatoes with the hands picking some up. Seen in the thumbnail, the hands almost have the shape of the steel arms of a machine. I think the light might be too strong, but still, thank you so much for this picture! Goes into my favorites for the nice pattern, color, and subject matter.

I really like the lighting on this one.The dark shadows and high contrast coupled with the bright reds make this an attractive photo and I like the way you have chosen to concentrate on the hands which has also made the composition interesting

Oh what a composition, the red colours of Tometo is vibrant and positioning of the hands is beautyful. Well done.

Svillegas (1169) 2005-11-22 3:51

Buena saturación del color, ese rojo te entra hasta las retinas!!

Pero, żpor qué no pones la cámara que utilizas?

CaptainJack (0) 2005-11-25 17:31

Hello Francisco, excellent image. The richness of the colours comes out so strongly and the natural sunlight brings it out even more. Can almost feel the tomatoes drying out just by looking at your photograph. Spain is definitely one of the places I want to visit very much one day soon.

Niara78 (0) 2005-12-05 19:24

Delicioso! Me gustan las manos, parecen gigantes...Imaginome el sabor ahora...:)

thebig_d81 (777) 2006-01-20 8:14

Great POV. Just nit picking, Would of loved to seen a lower f stop focused. on one of the front tomatoes so the hands are sort of out of focus.
Well done.

Nikola (61) 2006-02-02 7:21

Colori intensi e bella composizione. Complimenti.

Sun gives tomatos live, instead of dyring them. Red color of tomatos seems wonderful through daylight. Sharpness... composition... Very well done!

Me gusta como usas color y los manos en sus fotos Francisco. En este foto el rojo del tomate esta muy claro y "crisp". Quiero comer ahorita!!

Muy bien!

Hola Francisco,
Me encanta esta foto, por su luz y su color. Pero también me gusta la acción. Mucho mejor que la Tomatina valenciana.

nice the snapshot with the two heads to arrange the half cut tomatoes under the strong Summer light.I like the minimalist scene with the details to are superb.

Have a good weekend,Danos

alhabsyihusni (13) 2012-03-10 18:06

nice composition.....very clear....

lakshmip1949 (19081) 2012-03-21 19:03

Hello Francisco,

Dried tomatoes smeared with olive oil are very tasty and mouth watering. Nice presentation of these half cut tomatoes kept for drying. The red colors is very vibrant. I like the inclusion of hand. Very simple but very effective shot.
