~ overloaded ~, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Loaded with huge plastic drums, this rickshaw seems to defy the law of gravity but the 'wallah' appeared to be of no concern and looked quite comfortable steering with full confident in the maddening late afternoon traffic.

Seeing amazing feats like this inspired me to take photos of all the crazy things here...
Just business as usual in Jaipur…

Setting: 16 mm, 1/15 sec, F9 , ISO Raw 200, 1721 hrs

abmdsudi

yes, we frequently see strange loads in the vehicles in india. nice view, under very hard conditions, where we can see the main subject and have the fast mood of the moment.

Bonjour, cher Abmdsudi,
Ce sont les coulisses de l'exploit quotidiennes, ils semblent défier les lois de la gravité.
Excellent !
Amitiés.

Hello Abmdsudi
Excellent daily life shot. The blurred situation underlines the urgency of the scene that must be presented. So many plastic drums on one bike, we have to see this.
Well done, have a nice day

Salam Abmdsudi. Amazing how a little dhal and some rice can provide so much fuel for a hard day's labour. The life force in people is something of a wonder. The body language of the two men on what are basically bicycles or tricycles are in contrast to the relaxed and not so sinewy presence of the motorcyclist. Best wishes. Klaudio.

Hello Abmdsudi,

Panning pictures is real a specialty, I think that you more must train!
Move with your camera, F/9 to F/11 and 250, much train my friend
One point fot the picture and one point for your effort.
Thank for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John

Bonjour Abmdsudi,

Ce doit être un exploit de réussir à garder son équilibre avec cette charge chancelante et en plus dans le trafic très fou de cette région du monde où les panneaux sont facultatifs.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Abmdsudi
I know that loads can be quite incredible in that corner of the world but this rikshaw wallah has surpassed all expectations. This is real life that we seem to have forgotten in the west.
Well-captured.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hi Abmdsudi, great picture! I saw that kind in Asia especially in China, but never managed to have the camera with me :-(. Well done. Great job!

Hello,
Very attractive dynamic street scene. Amazing how that man manages to carry those huge barrels. Well taken moment.

Hello Abmdsudi

The motion blur conveys energy & movement. Good repetition of the large plastic drums with excellent framing & composition. Tfs!

BennyV (22025) 2017-05-18 5:29

Hello Abmdsudi

Lots of buzz and fuzz in this image, but given the topic it certainly is in its place. Gerat how you just managed to get the man in the white shirt just right.

Benny

Hello,

Amazing scene, it is interesting how much this load weighs, I cant imagine I have to transport these cans on my bike

Hello Again,

Though it isn't perfect technically, the motion effect makes it really spectacular. I like the result.

Best Wishes,

Hello Abmdsudi,
Huh? Can I believe my eyes? I am glad I read your note, I first thought it was a bicycle that was carrying these drums and my jaw dropped to the ground. Nice colors, well done!
Regards,
MT

Hi Abmdsudi

You tried a panning and get this heavy load blurred, giving us the feeling it's falling down!
Cheers

Hi Abmdsudi,
you are a master of the panning photography. Here a fantastic example of it.
I like that the picture has several layers of depth with the closest guy completely blurred, middle two sharp and the background blurred again.
The effect is stunning!!
Excellent work,
M
