Guellala ceramic handicraft, a photo from Medenine, South

Photographer's Note

Another view of the tourist oriented ceramic handicraft of Guellala. I don't know about the 'authenticity' of these objects, but some of them are really nice (some of them charmingly naive) and I have no reasons to not believe that they are really handicrafted locally.

Guellala is famous in Tunisia for its pottery.

You can find aditional notes on Jerba on the first of my posts the Guellala museum.

Hello Jose -

A very nice and interesting composition. I like the over lapping circular shapes and the bright colors. Exposure looks to be spot on and the has excellent sharpness. The detail of the some the bowls is marvelous. Well done!

Thank you for sharing

Another eye-catcher. Already the thumbnail was quite inviting by its repetitive forms of these ceramics and obviously also the color richness of the same. Excelent framing!
Kind Regards, Peter

Ola Jose,
I am not much attracted by colored pottery on photos, therefore I am quiet about anything than technical questions. And for that well done, good light and sharpness.
Cheers Ulf

Ol�, Jos�!
Gosto muito destas fotos de m鷏tiplos objetos repetidos. Acho-as alegres, decorativas, cheias de detalhes.
Esta aqui, especialmente me agrada, j� que retrata pratos pintados � m鉶, algo que cresci vendo minha av� produzir. � at� uma boa ideia fotografar uns deles um dia, se eu imaginar como ilumin�-los de uma forma natural, pois est鉶 nas paredes de toda a fam韑ia. Muito bonita a foto!
abra鏾,
Zeca

Bela composi鏰o Jos�. Gosto desta geometria assim como das cores. Os dois pratos (com o sol) criam uma diagonal interessante. Bem visto e original.
Um abra鏾.

Hi Jose:

Beautiful shot here of these handcrafted beauties. I think you captured it at about the right distance--any closer and it would have been too bland, any farther away and it would have been too busy. Well done.

Hola Jose

La isla de Djerba recuerdo este lugar tranquilo y sereno. Me gusta mucho el collage de la ceramica. Colores muy vivos y gran definicion.
Saludos
Sergio

Hi Jose,
This is an excellent composition. The ceramic in Guellala is among the nicest that I have ever seen... but a bit expensive.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jos�,

I know that it has been several weeks since you submitted this image, but I see a patter -- the more ceramic plates you place in your composition, the more points you appear to receive. In order to help invert the pattern, I would like to critique this excellent photo. It is a virtual symphony of colors and geometric shapes that you have put on display. Many thanks,
Bulent

Jose: finely tuned still-life. If only for the detail and geometry in this fine pic. regards, c

i saw those too and i beleive they are hand crafted, people there take pride in such things, the way to know is to see if it has an eleveted signature if it does then its by machine not man. your crop factor is good and shows the detail of the drawings

Hi Jose,
I really like this kind of close-up shots that are bursting with colours.
The light is good and colours appear very natural.
It is interesting to see that motives are both abstract and realistic (or naive, as you said).
Vedrana
