Thank you so much Svenergy72 for the complements. He was too much into his smoking that it turned out to be a natural click.

Location
This picture was taken in a village in West Rajasthan, India.Time
It was a warm summer evening in Rajasthan and we were sitting under the cool breeze of old trees in the village. It was shot on1st June 2014 at 9:29 PM.Lighting
The place was dimly lit as it was open space outside the house. The light falling on the subject was very interesting and invited me to click the momentEquipment
It was shot on hand held Canon 7D with 15 - 85 lens.Inspiration
I am always inspired by candid moments and country side. It was perfect blend of both. We were meeting a group of old villagers sharing their life experiences and showing off their smoking skills. The confidence and satisfaction in the eyes of this gentleman was out of the world. He was so much into the moment. It gave me perfect opportunity to capture the moment forever.Editing
Unfortunately it wasn't a RAW image. It was processed in lightroom.In my camera bag
I have Canon 7D, 15 - 85 mm, 55 - 250 mm and 50 mm F 1.4 Prime lens, battery grip, extra charged battery, UV filter, tripod, lens cleaning kit, extra memory cards, cable release, cables, gloves, Swiss army knife, emergency medicines, torch and some more lighting stuff.Feedback
You need to have your gear ready all the time. There are so many candid moments around us in day to day life. Dim light, old man and monochrome gave this picture a natural touch
