Sepia in the market. Bogura. #119 Black and white
I thought I would give Sepia a go for a change, any thoughts?
Trying to capture ad hoc shots, though some when they saw the lens gave me their best snapshot face
I am quite happy with the results
My final upload from the vegetable market, I think I binned half of what I snapped, not because they were shite shots , but more of market overload.
Half a dozen of his elders grabbed him and pushed him to be snapped, never had that before!

This could easily be identified as a market along our coastal villages of Natal thirty to forty years ago.
Progression has taken on a new role where our population of people no longer fit this picture, still hard working showing signs of being more Westernized.
!BEER
being more westernised as being clean tidy and getting screwed by local govt?
Feel very sorry for our Indian folk, used to do farming and keep to themselves. Not accepted in previous government, now also chased from their land over the years not accepted by this bunch of morons ruling our land.
I remember idi amin deporting thousands from Uganda
No situation is easy to assess, with people on the move flare ups happen when they simply don't understand, "when living in Rome do what the Romans's do," philosophy.
Guess so

Nice sepia shots of interesting faces - even the serious ones. The elders thought the cute kid should be photographed for sure. I also like the pumpkin and nuts photos.
Cheers @momogrow , good to se you back, always enjoy your positive vibes. I think the little kid was scared silly! LOL
Aww thanks so much @grindle - I even managed to make a blog especially for my daughter. You might find it fun.
Aww poor kid.
You know how I feel about your photos... sepia was a great choice this time. 😍
Cheers @nanixxx , good to get positive vibes, I thought it worked too thanks
Amazing set of pics, I missed it in my feed initialy, but enjoyed now.
Some amazing portrait snapshots, and streetphotos with no faces are perfect as well. I am not convinced if the sepia mode improved them - maybe B-W monochrome would work even better on them - and I dont see color version to compare with, lol. Great job anyway. You was lucky they did not curse you for being photographed xD
!BEER
Cheers @qwerrie , no worries, thanks for the feedback, tbh I think Mono from here onwards. cursed? LOL they loved it, not very often they see strange westerners with big lenses LOL
awwwhhh! feel jealous. here (in ex-USSR) folks are scared of everything, especially folks of older generations (that does not apply to the youth and kidz). once I was even labelled as 'terrorist' (!) (lol) for pointing my telephoto at playing ground where kidz were picking snow with their toy shovels... look forward for more #mono
!BEER
Oh my days that is a sad world "terrorist" LOL
