Close Together

I think it is time to finish the series of images from India and return back to Denmark. Today I have decided to present one of my favorite photos that I took in autumn last year. Whenever I take a look at this photo I recall the amazing connection between this young couple. I tried to analyze what attracts my eyes to this photo and I believe that these are the two diagonal lines. One is connecting their faces and the other one is the line of the man's shoulder continued by the horizon in the left upper corner. These lines meet in the center where the couple is looking too. The focus was on girl's eyes which happen to be in the same distance as the man's eyes; hence the photo looks so sharp even though the depth of field is quite narrow. Camera spec: Canon 5D mark ii with Canon 70-200 4L at 149mm, F5.6 @ 1/320, ISO 100.

A Woman from Bangalore

I have one more photo from India to show you today. Again, it is from the time I was shooting on film. We were on a trip to natural preservation close to Bangalore and just before we were about to leave to our hotel, this older women showed up and was asking for some money. She kindly agreed to be photographed too. When I shot the photo, I knew it will be a strong one. Canon EOS 300 with Canon 28-105 F3,5-4,5 USM, film Fuji Superia ISO 200, scanned on Canon MP980.

Daily Life in Bangalore

Here are a few more photos I took in Bangalore in India. I have to admit that India is one of my favorite travel destinations. It is colorful, contrasting and full of personal characters that simply ask to be captured on a camera. Camera spec: Canon EOS 300 with Canon 28-105 F3,5-4,5 USM, film Fuji Superia ISO 200, scanned on Canon MP980.
