Pretty women, Durga Puja 2015
« on: October 24, 2015, 14:25:59 »
It was the last day of the Puja. Beautiful ladies were performing various puja rites. I was there with D810 and Nikkor 85 f1.4 AFD. Lot of shoving and pushing be fellow Photogs and grab shooting was call of the day. The 85 allowed me to shoot close (in fact in some cases so close that the front eye came closer than MFD and had to lock on the hind eye)  and here are some of them, for your enjoyment :

Weren't you supposed to be concentrating on spiritual thoughts at the Puja?

Looks like concentrated spirit to me.  Lots of red, but that is  a cultural thing.

Durga is a very wrathful female diety, hence the reds, i think,
thanks for sharing

I like the tight framing. Well done in what seems to be a constructing environment.

N.3 works best for me. The woman's somewhat shy and benevolent look goes well with the overall softness. Now I really have to find out what Durga Puja is...
