Climbing, a photo from Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv

Photographer's Note

I try to include people in my photos, and it was a great opportunity to catch many people at the same image, while I still have patterns and textures as I like.
I took this shot yesterday, while walking with my kids in Hayarkon Park, in Tel Aviv.

Looks like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to give this ago, but there is no facility near me.

A very interesting photo. The girl in red in the centre looks professional at climbing. Nice colours and embedded textures. The people add a lot of interest.

The wall looks daunting. The uneven but still rythmic patters created by the foot and han holds are very pleasant. I like how some of the climber appaear to be experst and some others appear uncomfortable with the one on the foremost left. A modern structure yet it has a prehistoric feeling to it.

Well seen Yitzhak. The kids are realy like flies on the wall and the pattern and texture is there and some action too. With those bright colors the kids become the main object. I made a B&W to see if that changes the main interest to the pattern leaving the kids as something you see after a while and only have for scale. I think it does, see what you think.

Nice Yitzhak, vey nice. I love and the picture and climbing.. At least I used to do it when younger. It's a lot of fun on those waklls. I like it. May be the 2 black frames are to thick... But not important.

Well done .. yitzhak .. the composition is great and as usual the framing .. we have this game but this is too much bigger .. it is very funny ... say hello to your children

This is a great shot Yitzhak. Take away the people and move in a bit closer and it could be one of your usual shots. But this is more interesting. The predominant red and blue colours of the clothes contrast well with the grey wall. I like this new direction for you.

Quite different from your usual shots, and you've captured it well. The colours of the clothes make the kids stand out well and the wall itself is interesting. Good shot, but i couldn't resist a WS anyway : )

Idée trčs originale Yitzhak. Des fourmis pleines de couleurs sur ce mur d'escalade.
Trčs bien.
Very original idea Yitzhak. Ants full with colors on this wall of climbing. Very well.

are they wearing some kind of uniforms? I noticed the red and blue and similar outfits. Stands out well against the grey wall.

torben (3100) 2004-02-22 6:22

The kids form a pattern too here, and I like the way the ropes are not only keeping the kids safe but also ties the whole composition together. The colorful clothes contrast well with the drab climbing wall. Good job.

Impressing what you find in and around Tel Aviv Yitzhak. Seeing the thumbnail I was wondering what this could be. The geometric shapes works to the best together with the many details. Very well done.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-02-22 7:09

Very nice capture Yitzhak - surely a place for great fun and action - The wall very impressive and a piece of artwork.
(Yes - I noticed "your style" and you inspired me for shots on my holiday ;-)

nwoehnl (122) 2004-02-22 7:10

That does look like fun, Yitzhak. By your standards it's a people shot, but it still bears your unique mark in the way you captured those patterns on the climbing wall, and the diagonals made by the safety ropes. I like how the climbers stand out against the back in their colorful gear. And I am with Jack in wondering what various kinds of motives can be found in Tel Aviv, and how you continue to spot them. Well done.

dovi (1068) 2004-02-22 9:20

Itzik this is reallly one of your best (to my mind..)the sharp details of the wall and the colored people and handles on this great grey surface are so beautiful! very well done.

Plutôt intéressant d'avoir inclus cette façade en entier cela nous permet d'avoir un bel aperçu de l'ensemble.
Les détails du cliché sont superbes.
Bien vu Yitzhak

manny (22032) 2004-02-22 9:59

Very interesting shot Yitzhak. It is amzing how the background is broken by shades of only three colors: red blue and black. Good eyes.

quegardens (1469) 2004-02-22 10:33

Good capture of these young climbers Yitzhak.The composition has strength in that our eyes can wander back and forth between each of the climbers and feel part of their individual climb.

zto (268) 2004-02-22 14:46

Looks like fun. I like the saturated colours in contrast to the more muted colours. In a way it looks a bit chaothich with all the pepole scattered around, but it is a chaos that i like. Nice picture Yitzhak.

summer89 (5422) 2004-02-22 17:44

Great composition and colors,Yitzhak. Congratulations

orme (7219) 2004-02-22 22:38

An interesting action shot, Yitzhak, nice and clear. I like the way the two boys are ignoring the golden rule of 'don't look down', while the sensible girls are getting on with the job. Good colours. Well done.

Good shot and a good addition to my climbing theme. So when are you going to try this Yitzhak ;-)
There are very good details in the rock wall and the colors of the climbers are well done. The framing is also well done. I agree that it's nice to have people in your shots. I also should try this.

henrye (3500) 2004-02-24 2:31

This is a different shot from you, yet it is still very abstract in a way. You captured the textures on the wall perfectly. Great composition. This is very well done!

airin (172) 2004-02-25 7:07

Funny picture. Combination of grey wall patterns with "colored people elements" is fascinating :-). Compositon and DOF is perfect, too. I like it.

Garry01 (0) 2004-05-02 13:09

hallucinante cette image ... elle donne le vertige. Ceci ętant la balance des blancs est trčs bonne, et le contraste des couleurs sur ce mur gris donne de la force ŕ l'image. Bien vu

quino (693) 2005-04-11 15:31

Of course, I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and show everybody the wonderful world of climbing... Best regards

banyanman (7797) 2007-07-17 13:07

The positioning of all the subjects in this shot couldn't be better, Yitzhak - it's almost as if they posed for you! Perfect technical quality too. Cheers . . . David
