Berber Tea Ceremony

[mammarazzi]

A selection of images of a Mint Tea Ceremony from a trip I made to a Berber Village in the Atlas Mountains just outside Marrakech. It was a wonderful setting and a lovely cuppa!

Nice captures and conversions.

That's a great set of images Joanne. Surprisingly for me, on this occasion, I prefer the warmth of the coloured image but the mono conversions are excellent, particularly the last one where his skin almost glows.

Lovely images Joanne. Beautifully (and tastefully) taken and processed. My favourite is definitely the 2nd (colour) image. The colour just adds something that is missing in the B&W images.

I have wonderful memories of mint tea served in glasses in North Africa (Egypt and Tunisia), although they were never accompanied with anything quite as sophisticated while being served.

Really a nice set. I prefer the color version of the wider scenes but the B/W works well for the closeups. I think due to the fact that the featureless, shadowed BG eliminates much of the benefit of B/W. Plus the little bit of color of the man's skin and the table really pop against the naturally monochrome scene. Excellent images. Well done.

I like all of them... I really liked the monochrome until I saw the color image. I am tossed up which one that I like best...

A great set, I love all of them
