[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]A couple of days ago I went for a walk to try and photograph birds in a notified wetland that surrounds my house from the road, as no visitors are allowed inside the protected area. The birds were too far away, but I got this Shulmanesque figure walking down the road, with the incongruous combination of a large, almost defiant mark on the forehead, which depicts him as a devotee of the Hindu god Vishnu, and a typical T Shirt from the USA that denotes a "Pumpkin Run" (whatever that might be!. I was also taken up with the curious child just behind him, who was probably wondering what I was doing, because I was some distance away. The photo is not tack sharp mainly because this was taken after sundown, with a Nikon D7000 and the AF 180mm f2.8 with a 2x Kenko Teleconverter (effective 540mm in 35mm terms), handheld at 1/125 at ISO3200. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/People/Poonga_20120202_152.jpg.html Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
