[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 285340, member: 16844"] [U][B]Day 90[/B][/U] Strange how some days turn out. Heard these far off voices today and couldn't pinpoint them. In the end and after much driving around I found the commotion in late afternoon. It was the finals of the Punjabi Games - I kid you not. Approaching apprehensively I was amazed at the welcome I received because I had a camera. Seems these fellows love their pictures taken. So note to anyone worried about pointing cameras in faces I have found Indians (not of the American kind) to be keen. I have a lot of interesting portraits but … The entire place was surrounded by vehicles and/or spectators creating no escape from bad background. And of course being the brilliant photographer I am (clearly not) I didn't even think aperture. So too many have background distractions which is clearly my own fault. However I once again had fun - Love taking candid portraits. Trouble is with these guys keeping the candid is the challenge! I have lots for you - in no particular order.
