cheers!!, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Portrait of a friendly camel wallah taken at Sam Dunes, Thar desert in Bikaner. I was drawn by the expressive face and his lines of life and was fortunate that he was more than happy to pose for me as reflected by his sparkling eyes. The peoples warmth, smile, helpful nature and friendliness meets me in many places in Rajasthan.

I used my old faithful Manual Focusing Nikkor 50mm F1.4, rarely use now but thought it would be good ideas for this close up as the light was natural, the ever ready willing subject and found the opportunity just ripe to give it a try for a quick burst of shots.

Setting: 50 mm, 1/500 sec, F1.4, ISO Raw 200, 1636 hrs

Hello Abmdsudi,
This camel driver's face is very expressive and you have captured it to perfection. Well framed and cropped and benefiting from pleasant natural tones and good sharpness.

Hello Abmdsudi,
This is an excellent portrait that is so well positioned in the frame. Every detail shows on his face and the BG is very well muted.
Very well done and TFS.

Hello Abmdsudi,

How wonderful that you could engage so well with these warm and friendly people - and you have captured this man's happy and friendly nature perfectly in this stunning portrait.

Your use of your "old faithful" lens at full aperture has produced the desired effect with every pore, hair and detail of the man's face perfectly captured against a very nicely out of focus background.

Lovely light, true colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

What a beautiful bichrome portrait of this man ! Everything is perfect in the photo ! Colours, sharpness, light But of course, what captures our attention, is the happy look in his eyes, a real mirror of his soul, no doubt.
Congratulations.
