Tsukiji

A few shots from my actual work.

Reportage shooting at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan. On a trip to Japan in 2012, I visited the Tsukiji Fish Wholesale Market in the early morning. I carried my cam and a few lenses with me and took some pictures. The examples shown here are a pick out of a around 300 pictures taken during the trip.

My «Tsukiji» pictures has been shot in July 2012 with my NIKON D3 DSLR and a NIKKOR AF-S 70-200mm, f2,8 VR lens, with available light. All the fine tuning of the pictures has been made in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Apple Aperture 3.

The pictures are part of my entry to the EWZ-Selection 2013 photo competition.

Enjoy, Alfredo Briccola

#7 Little Buddha

A few stills from my actual work.

Nearly in every place in Thailand you can find Buddhist Temples. A lot of them are really ancient or they are recent but build in an ancient style. Many of the recent ones are build in a sort of modern «candy maker architecture» as I would say, because of the overwhelming gold, mirrored glass and color everywhere, inside and even outside. I for myself like both types. I find always new ideas for nice shots, every time I discover a unknown one to me.  It is not easy to shoot in such places, because these are places of prayer and also of tourism. Exactly there is the problem. I have to respect the worshippers. So I'll need a lot of time, be very careful in what and how I frame it and trying not to disturb the people at their prayers. If I take my time, I'll mostly get out with a lot of amazing pictures.
The best of all Buddha statues, in my opinion, are to find at construction sites of some temples. The statues are much more ancient looking, because of all the dust around them, the naked concrete walls and floors and the slightly «worn out» look they present. They are much less gilded than the official statues in the temples itself and some times some parts like arms, hands or others are missing. But despite the poor look, they are all in really use for the workers to pray each day and provide me with the motives for good pictures.

The pictures above show a mix between the Buddhas inside Wat Chalong, the workers Buddhas at the construction site of the Phra Puttamingmongkol Akenakkiri Buddha, known as The Big Buddha in Phuket and some of the construction Site of Wat Karon.
All shots were taken without a flash, just using available light. I used my NIKON D200 DSLR with a NIKKOR AF-S DX VR 18-200mm, f 1:3,5 - 5,6 G ED tele zoom lens. I did the B&W conversion and the finetuning in Apple Aperture 3.

Wrooooooom! Part #1

A few shots from my recent work.

Motorsport racing on round circuits in Switzerland is officially not allowed since 1955. Since then, a lot of small and officially granted events, e.g. mountain races are held here instead, like the most famous of all, the «Klausen Memorial». Other and smaller events like the «Oldtimer Classics Hittnau» or the «GP-Mutschellen» are typical gathering occasions for motorsport enthusiasts who like to feel the roar of powerful engines from the past and from today and want too see them in action.
Shooting on such events results in a much more action feeling in the pictures than shooting on typical old-timer or car shows, where the machines are just displayed with a crowd of spectators around.

I shot this series of pictures at the «Oldtimer Classics Hittnau», Switzerland. It was a lightly rainy day, but the cloud cover was an advantage to my pictures, because it brought a very smooth light on the metallic and lacquered surfaces.

I had a press accreditation and therefore it was possible to shoot without any crowd of spectators that usually obstruct the pictures.

My «Wrooooom» pictures were shot with a NIKON D200 DSLRs with NIKKOR AF-S VR-I 70-200mm G lens. The fine tuning has been made in Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Apple Aperture 3.
