What a face you have captured. What stories the lines tell. She is so contemplative. Well done.

Location
I took this Photo in Kanda in Uttarakhand India . This one my favourite place and i return to it every year . I later found out her Name The widow Bhwani. Sadly she died a few years ago. So on my last trip to India I made a B/W version of this shot and I was able to give to her Family in A frame and I was also able to tell the family that she was quite well known in the world and has been commentated on . They were very Proud of the memoryTime
This was taken after midday when the sun is at highest in the hill and everybody is under shadeLighting
The lighting in India is fantastic it bring a great vibrancy to your shotsEquipment
I had only started travelling and money was tight and i could only afford a basic camera and it was a Fuji Finepix as it was something light I could carry not worry about it being stolen I used this for the first few years and then upgradedInspiration
i was inspired to take this and other shots as this lady was sitting there looking at everyone and not saying anything but saying everything in her looks at the other customersEditing
yes cropping and some lightingIn my camera bag
I have two cameras Both Olympus one with 300mm and teleconverter for wildlife and the other is fitted with a 14-42 for landscape my other lens are 60 Macro which i sometimes use as a street lens Loads of batteries and other accessoriesFeedback
Do not rush to get the shot have a coffee/tea /cold drink sit and relax have a look around and absorb what is going on around you and then take the shot or lots of them
