Rodrigue, the images seem interesting, but come off underexposed on my calibrated monitor. Also, I find precise focusing wanting on most of the images.Thanks for sharing!
My Best,

Mate or Maté is a South-American beverage very well known in Argentina and Brazil. Lebanese immigrants brought this drinking ritual to Lebanon decades ago. Today, Lebanese Mate drinkers are many, but, they can mainly be found in Chouf region in general and among Druze community in particular. During my tour to that region, I was so lucky to witness, share and capture this amazing traditional daily ritual between two kind women! I joined and enjoyed.

The conviviality and warmth of this little gathering comes right off the screen at me Rodrigue. A lovely set. And yes I'll have a Mate. What is it exactly?

Very best

Lovely set, without knowing its origin I would say it was taken in Argentina and these beautiful ladies enjoy a chat in company of the ever present mate.

I didn't know that Eduardo. A very interesting read, thanks. I'm now wondering if I can get some over here.

Thanks for the Tips Emil, really appreciate it, I was doing fat editing using a portable and an iPad, now as I'm back behind my desk, I can see what you mean, you're absolutely right.

Nice images Rodrigue and good use of the X-vario. I think I have tried mate (a friend brought something similar from Brazil) but I am sorry to say I did not like it much...

I know you just got your M9, but I am sure if you had the new Leica X you would make amazing work in low light...

Best, D
