The Holy man and Photographer

Uploaded: November 15, 2009

Description

Taken in Hampi, we came across this person offering his prayer following Hindu rituals, true to his greatness he neither uttered a word nor showed any sign of disapproval knowing at least 10 cameras were following each of his movements, unfortunately for me when I finally managed to get the photographer friend, seen here away from my frame, the holy man was done with his prayer and I missed the shot having only him and his environment, I went on to take another image which I’ll post tomorrow.


Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

Fantastic scene you have captured here Ujjwal. It is annoying when there's somebody or something in the way but this works really well too. I like that you captured the photographer capturing the holy man. #8132116
