Candid Photos from India #8

While waiting for our “on time” train, I spotted this gentleman. He seemed so relaxed and patient with everything going on around him. In this photo, I really like his pose and his gaze towards a track that does not have our “on time” train. I also like the crowds in the background—they seemed to really add context to the overall image.

Enjoy.

Camera settings: Nikon D200, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 at 70mm shot at ISO 400, f/2.8 and 1/60th of a second.

Post Processing:

Lightroom—Set white and black points, added mid-tone contrast, added clarity.

  1. Different from your other India portraits. Good environment and setting. He does seem very at ease with himself.

  4. I like the photo. Good exposure and light. I think I would crop out the tin roof just down to the black area. The black and white doesn't pull my eye like the brighter tin does. I know it's part of the environment, but I think it takes away from the photo. Just a thought.

  5. The image has possibilities. I am bothered by the background which seems cluttered. Good lighting and good pose.
