~ a proud camel-wallah ~, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Out of the desert & into my lens...

A late afternoon zoomed capture of a camel herdsman at Katariasar village located on the fringe of sun-drenched Thar desert about 45km from Bikaner.

The rugged features ravaged by the harsh environment all revealed in his personality gaze, wrapped in his traditional attire of a large turban which can be used to screen his eyes & mouth during sand storm, a blazer
& a light blanket of local weave to keep him from the afternoon cool air of the desert.

Setting: 300 mm, 1/2500 sec, F5.6, ISO Raw 200, 1639 hrs & polarised
