This photo was taken in Kenya on Kodak film in 1979.Time
mid-dayLighting
Just a sunny day in Africa.Equipment
I believe it was a Kodak Instant camera.Inspiration
This was an awesome trip to East Africa with visits to many of the game parks. This particular day I was sitting in the back seat of a van with the window down, and the Masai women were trying to sell their wares.Editing
After putting the photo on my computer, I just tweeked it a bit for sharpness and color. The photo is 37 years old.In my camera bag
Interesting but dramatic event for us on that trip was that we had 40 rolls of film when we arrived at Heathrow, and it was stolen while we were using the telephone to book a room. We didn't realize the film was gone until we got to our hotel. We were leaving for Nairobi the next morning and had to buy new film at the airport for double the original price!Feedback
I am not shy when taking photo of people, whether it's in the USA or a foreign country. However, I generally sort of tip my head as if asking for an ok, and I smile a lot! Lots of thumbs up!!
