An enthusiastic man

Posted on by Parul Thakur

an enthusiastic man from Rajasthan, India

On our way back from Rajasthan, we were crossing a small village and were stuck in a small traffic jam. While we were waiting for the road to clear, I was looking around and trying to observe the surroundings.

Then I saw this man. He was a blacksmith and engrossed in his work. Being in the car, I wasn’t able to get a neat shot. But then while I was trying, he looked up and posed. He smiled and his smile filled up my frame. I smiled back and clicked a few shots before we moved on. I did wave back and said thank you.

This picture though not so clean is one of my favorites. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

Another portrait photography attempt with the Canon. Today’s post is my #60 of Wordless Wednesdays hosted by Esha and Natasha.

  9. Again, such a ‘Parul’ click this one. Who says it is not clean? It’s perfect.

    Look at how happy and content he is doing what he does. A lot of us could learn a lot from him.

  10. It’s very clear to me, especially for a telephoto shot. These are my favorite kinds of photos, a combination of skill and good timing gave you a great portrait shot, a mode I should use more.
