Trip to India – Wednesday 7th November 2012 |

The daylight photos are from the car journey to Whistling Woods International Film School in the morning, and the night photos are from the journey home, where an ISO of 6400 was used. It was good to see how my camera performed in such conditions, and I’m fairly pleased with the results.

Day 2 photos are below…

My favourite photo taken today, although it was heartbreaking taking it. We had stopped at traffic lights and this is taken through the window as she approached the car. — **My favourite photo taken today, although it was heartbreaking taking it.

**Another favourite of mine taken today; this guy was stood in the middle of a busy road, trying to dodge the fast moving traffic.**

**It was heartbreaking seeing children begging for food**

Street life after dark…

**Every shop and street was decorated for Diwali!**

**Street seller – they sold everything from flowers to feather dusters!**

**Shops stayed open late; most of them until midnight!**

Some people were happy to pose when they saw the camera…

**People use horns instead of indicators!**

**Auto Rickshaw fare meter – the price always went up when tourists got in!**

Traffic signal - I liked the blue background! — **Traffic signal – I liked the blue background!**

We got excited every time we saw a monkey, however, it is quite normal for the locals to see monkey's hanging out in the trees! — **We got excited every time we saw a monkey, however, it is quite normal for the locals to see monkey’s hanging out in the trees!**

I couldn't believe what they carried on their heads?! — **I couldn’t believe what they carried on their heads?!**

I’m no camera expert but the colours in you’re photos are gorgeous, really bright and I feel like I’m there in India with you not looking at a photo, I really like the shoe seller one you’ve captured him unawares just being him. love the garlands at the toll booth. I like the packing and moving men also, its like they go unnoticed, invisible only you have seen them and captured them on film.
