Light and Colour: Morocco

[jacob12_1993]

So I'm currently sat half way through my time in Morocco (been here about a week) under a fan with a friend who is passed out with food poisoning and 45C outside so I decided to share a few images from my trip so far (these are quick edits on the small non-calibrated laptop and linked from facebook so the colours/sharpness may be a little off) Let me know what you think

ooooooh....that 7th one! Superb!

 

[Phall82]

Great set. All really good but 5 and 7 are probably my favourites. Keep 'em coming!

 

[Ricardodaforce]

I like this set!

 

[Les McLean]

These are very good, plenty of variety and enough to keep interest.
2nd is my favourite, and the contrasting figure makes it for me.

Number 7 is an absolute stunner !!!

The shafts of light, the single figure walking towards the camera.
I absolutely love it. Well done.

p.s. Hope your friend is better soon.

I have no idea what that man in number 6 is doing - but it is a fantastic photo

 

[rosebuchanan]

I have no idea what that man in number 6 is doing - but it is a fantastic photo

He is washing hides, that is the leather tanneries

As you already know from twitter Jacob, loving them! Keep posting please

Some great shots there mate, with great colours and most are well composed. I especially like 2, 6, & 7. with no7 being a real cracker of a shot would go very well in a travelogue

Fantastic set. Wonderful observations of the local community. Love to see more.

Wonderful set. Love number 7! The light falling through the roof and the guy walking towards you is wonderful.

As I mentioned the other day on Facebook they're very Steve McCurry-esque, and as he's without doubt one of my favourite all time photographers these very much appeal to me! I can only echo previous comments on No.7, absolutely superb image.

I'm looking forward to seeing a proper final edit of No.3 too.

Thanks again guys, my friend is no better so she is flying home in a day or two, then I have another week of photography before I head to India. Cheers!

I have just got back from Morocco myself, No.7 is amazing!!

Sorry to hear that Jacob.
Hope she makes a full recovery soon.

Good luck with the rest of your travels

Brilliant well photographed set, Stunning

Its many years since I was in Maroq but I can smell the leather tanning works just like I did back then - the shaft of light in the 7th shot - emphasises how closed in the souk alleyways are - and the blue walls remind me of little towns in Tunisia the colour has a kind of cooling effect - fabulous set of shots.

 

[adam.wilkinson]

Fantastic set! Really like them.

 

[jacob12_1993]

Thanks guys! A couple more, pretty happy with what I have got in this short trip. Morocco is such a frustratingly amazing country for photographers. It is a goldmine of images but the attitude of the people is very anti-photography, even in the smaller towns and therefore I feel like I have had more missed opportunities this trip than I had in all my time spent in Asia.

 

[jacob12_1993]

No one?

 

[JakeT1992]

2 more great shots. Love the first one.
