Photographer's Note

Open this in new tab

Street capture of a Rajasthani camel herder in Ladera village, Thar desert..

He was a classic example of a desert man, simple in lifestyle amidst a harsh desert environment with weather-worn features and a large turban as his masculine trademark but yet he displayed a youthful vigor, pride & regal outlook.

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

Hello Abmdsudi,

Lovely portrait with the man of the desert
Also the different colours make your picture attractive.
Excellent detail too, a pity of the shadows along his face.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hello Abmdsudi,
An excellent portrait of this man, who you placed well just to the right of the middle. The sharpness and blurry background are both really well managed.

Hello Abmdsudi.
As always, an excellent portrait, with fantastic detail, I like this man's half smile, the whiteness of his turban and the hundreds of folds that make up it are astonishing, it must be a very large piece of cloth.
A fantastic photo, with beautiful natural colors, very good lighting and excellent sharpness.
Very well done. I love it.
Very best regards.
Luis.
