Rambutan seller, a photo from Bangkok, Central

Photographer's Note

Bangkok's chinatown is a colorful area offering many photographic possibilities, here a rambutan seller with a big pile of fruits, and his pink scarf .
I found thai people quite like to be photographed...
And i enjoy to take their picture! A win.win situation.
Hope you'll like it

Hi Laurent,
I great shot of the fruit seller. Very nice colours. The guy looks so nice and friendly with his hat and his nice smile.
How many fruits did you get for 20 Bath. I've been there one week later, but I didn't see this guy.
Have a nice evening,
Nino

Hi Laurent!
Good shot of one of my favourite fruits.Unfortunately thy are verry expensive in Germany.
The seller looks friendly and nice colors everywhere.The bright pink towel around his neck is a nice detail.

Bonjour Laurent
Joli clichι de ce vendeur de fruits qui baisse pudiquement les yeux devant le photographe.
C'est sympa de nous faire dιcouvrir l'un des aspects de la vie quotidienne que j'ai eu le plaisir de visiter.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiιs

Olα Laurent,
Indeed, I felt that in general, in southeast, it was much easier to photograph people. This one seems to be relaxed and not care about it and his pose is natural. Good shot with the rambutan feeling the lower part of the composition and the price well placed as well. If I remember well, when I was there in 1998, 20 of the Thai coin was about 0,50 cents of Euro...
Um abraηo,
Ricardo

A well composed picture, in which the color plays a large role. The photo pleases me very well. Many greetings, Wolfgang

Excellent portrait of the fruit seller. Far from disliking your attention he actually looks very pleased. The fruit look very interesting; I don't think I have tried them.

Good environmental portrait of the fruit vendor, Laurent. A reasonable framing with him and the pricing sign placed behind the pile of rambutan. The fruits bring a delightfully colored and vivid foreground layer to the photo and it would look very tempting to pick a few. Nice shot.

Salut Laurent,
je viens juste de faire voir ta photo ΰ ma femme, et cela lui a donnι trθs faim, c'est vrai que le ramboutan est bon, surtout au pays.
Un vendeur bien cool apparemment !
Et puis le prix est utile, mκme si en France, ce serait plutτt ΰ 7 le kilo.

Bonsoir Laurent,
Image trθs bien composιe. Cette photo est toujours intιressante pour les nιophytes de mon genre. J'apprends, je voyage, je dιguste ces fruits proposιs !
Trθs belle rιussite.

great photo, well composed, have you seen my upload 'the Litcheys' if you have taken closeup these fruits like that then?

PJE (20758) 2006-08-02 20:42

Laurent I love the flavour of Rambutan. I have to eat the imported fruit and I wonder if it tastes better in Bangkok. Its one of those fruits that lends itself for photography with its sea urchin look and red core. Very nice photo showing this man with his display.

erdna (5713) 2006-08-02 21:37

Very nice portrait of this fruit vendor. you made my mouth water at the sight of these rambutyns. I like this fruit! Thanks for sharing laurent!

jafadabret (56501) 2006-08-03 3:46

Laurent bonjour !
Le vendeur a de la prιsence sur cette photo et ces fruits font une tache de couleur du meilleur effet. Le chapeau est ici plus qu'un accessoire il donne de la personnalitι ΰ cet homme.

Hej Laurent,
A good picture of this seller. All the rambutan gives a nice effect and you captured the seller also very nicely here. Well composed shot, good work!
Hilsen,
Lars

Hi Laurent
natural good coloring and well composed with his fruit in front and the price aside, funny his smile while his eyes are closed, was thinking maybe at his girlfriend ?

Bonjour Laurent,

Indeed the is almost a model for you, lovely pose with head and red scarf, it's a lovely daily life picture certainly through the fruit in foreground, excellent composition. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Bonjour Laurent,
J'adore les couleurs de ce portrait! Le vendeur a l'air particuliθrement zen et en plus il a eu la bonne idιe de se mettre autour du cou un linge de la mκme couleur que sa marchandise. La compo est excellente.
Amicalement, Brigitte

elmec (12210) 2006-08-04 16:38

Hello Laurent!
Great shot with this man at work!
Perfect light and colours.
Great done!
Best regards!

banyanman (7797) 2006-08-05 1:26

Hi Laurent. You have composed this well, but I think the result would have been better if you had gone for a deeper DOF (I am guessing that you probably used auto exposure and that's why you ended up with f/2.8) because the man is extremely sharp but not the rambutans. Overall the balance is very good and I am glad you were not tempted to over-saturate as we see so many others do with their rambutan shots. Cheers . . . David

TeresaT (10806) 2006-08-05 18:54

Hi Laurent,
Beauitful portrait of a daily life scene at Bangkok.
Strange exotic fruits with beautiful colours.
I like the happy expression on the man's face.
Regards
Teresa

Hi Laurent,

Uh - an other image of my favorite fruit - the RAMBUTAN :O) 20BHT - what a bargain. Very colourful image - the pink scarf and the straw hat looks great on him.

:) Tina

Salut Laurent
elles sont toujours sympa ces photos de rue, ces temoignages de la vie quotidienne a l'autre bout du monde.

ciao

Luan (12971) 2006-08-06 16:35

Hello Lolo,
un fruit a l'apparence marrante et etrange qui cache pourtant une chair delicieuse.....aller, je lui prends tout ;o)
Une image symphatique et colorιe

fayeulle (27827) 2006-08-08 9:29

Salut Laurent.
Ils on l'air excellents ces ramboutans pas chers et le vendeur a l'expression satifaite... Cela me rappelle mon voyage en Thailande ou je me suis fait avoir et achetι des fruits dont je ne me souviens plus le nom, mais astringents vraiment plus dιgueulasses il y a pas et en plus, donnent les dents noires et les gencives rouges.
Amicalement
JP

sebinho342 (19329) 2006-08-09 4:30

Salut Laurent, je les reconnais ces droles de fruits ! Encore une fois l'effet recyherchι est rιussi, j'aime bien cette scθne de vie, avec ce vendeur protιgeant son trιsor de rambutan, trθs chouette !

MLINES (12516) 2006-08-09 6:17

Hi Laurent, I love to see these fruit. They are so unusual looking, and here look more like the shape of flowers. Good colour and clarity. Your Thai photos are good to view. Murray.

Hi Laurent

Good job

Le ramboutan aurait un petit cτtι Letchi que cela ne m'ιtonnerait pas..
Bien montrι c'est un sujet interessant et la photo est bien faite

Salut Laurent,

J'aime bien ce vendeur de Rambutan, un fruit que j'ai vu souvent dans le ιtalages de Bangkok. İci le chapeau, et le foulard rose donne du piment a la photo: j'aurais essayι de rendre les fruits un peu plus saturιs avec PS en les sιparant du reste.

Bonne semaine - Izzet

Hi Laurent
Searching for 'Rambutan' in the net to show my daughter how the fruit looked like...lo & behold! This picture comes up!
Haven't tasted this fruit...how does it taste..like litchees? Nice framing with the fruits in the FG & the contented looking seller. A good daily life shot from your theme.
Best Regards
Angshu
PS : Where are you now?
