A typical scene of a terrace rice field captured in Bali while the farmers were busy at work. The main important elements of the image are the composition, colour, curves and lines. The early morning lighting added the sparkle to the shot. This image was awarded Honourable Mention of the PSA International Salon held in Atlanta, 1993.
I captured this picture of a tribe worker at work during my visit to Chiangmai, Thailand in 1978. The added light Cyan colour derivation with diazochrome film helped to tone down the glare of the misty backdrop and created a bias relief effect. This was a winning slide (Agfa Bronze Award) of the 1982 Adelaide International Salon in Australia.
The colour and lines are quite obvious in this image which is further enhanced visually by the touch of human interest. I wish Photoshop was available in those days to lessen the time-consuming darkroom and retouching work put into it. This slide was awarded Honourable Mention of the 22nd Santa Clara International Salon, USA, held in 1977.
