Hi Ned! Many thanks for your comment! I like tight croppings as well :) Harmonious colours here. I?ve always appreciated handicraftsmen. Nice "action" shot :)

Kristina, a basket maker works with his hands .. whereas a photographer works with his eyes ;)
hopefully we'll have something to photograph after 60 years other than war, soldiers, dead bodies, building rubble, tears in children eyes, .... HOPEFULLY

Believe me Kristina .. he didn't need to look at what he's doing! He wasn't annoyed at all!
Those people are very skilled .. they work very fast and without looking at their hands. they've been doing this since their childhood. can you imagine doing something for 60 years?!!
thanks Kristina,
i like the way you see the photos :)

NO .. he wasn't ungry at all, he was happy to pose for me. He's used to photographers as he's been contributing to this yearly festival for more than 11 years.
thanks Peter :)

So how do they say... "Same same but different"? ;-)
I guess this one follows the "rules" more when it comes to composition, but personally I did like the other composition too, just as much. More to see on previous one, but this has an extra interest because he looks interrupted and gets a special expression. Like half concentrated and half almost annoyed that he is disturbed.
Very good, Ned! Interesting and well taken!

Great portrait.. Was he angry at you or was he squinting from the sun? There seem to be alot of frown lines between the eyes... He seems to be interested in you and not in his work. That's what has made your other portraits better is the candid look...
Thanks for sharing...
Peter

Hi Hugo,
in general, i aim the highest possible shutter speed to avoid camera shake. i don't trust my shaky hands ;)
I usually start with setting the aperture suitable for the particular proposed photo, at 100 iso speed. Then, i check the shutter speed .. if it's low i go for a higher iso speed maintaining the aperture size. i don't exceed iso 400 as the noise becomes horrible.
In this photo, the light was low as it was about 20 minutes before sunset.
Thanks again, Hugo.

Hi Ned, Best one yet... Very good shot! Thanks for the elaborate info on the technical settings. Very interesting. Why did you select 400ASA? Just curious...;o)
Cheers,
Hugo

Thank you Amna for the improving the photo .. yeah .. it's much better now.
this is the original frame as it came out of the camera. basically, i like tight framing for such subjects. the previous post "Palm Tree Products 6" was an exception as i wanted to show the man's cane and the related foreground .. although the composition was not that good :S

Interesting...I can see you did not stop trying, which is something great. Why did you crop it very tight? leaving some room especially on the side will help. I removed some shadow on his face to make his eyes appear.
PS. sorry for being picky, I know how hard to capture such photos cuz I have my own tries too and never perfect.
