Traditional Indian wrestling (Pehlwani) also known as kusthi is essentially a rural sport marked by the loud grunts of thickset men grappling with each other in earth pits. This sport is popular in Delhi haryana varnasi and the centre of popularity being kolhapur and central maharashtra.
Wrestlers belong to gyms called akharas, where wrestlers live under strict rules. Wrestling schools in maharashtra are known as taleems and not akharas.
The soil in which wrestlers fight is mixed with mustard oil, turmeric, ghee and milk. Small pooja is done everyday before starting the training or dangal competition.Hanuman is the deity of the pehlwans.A traditional wrestler leads a life of abstinence : see wine tobacco and drugs are not permitted. Wrestlers' diets consist of milk, almonds, ghee, eggs and chapattis and each wrestler has a job to do in preparing meals.
Pehlwans live a life of austerity ; extreme for of bhramacharya.
Wrestling competitions (dangal) takes place in circular or square arena measuring atleast 14 feet across.The dirt floors are maintained in right consistency _ soft enough to avoid injury and hard enough to impede the wrestlers movements..Largest wrestling tournament is held at the largest wrestling maidan in warananagar in kolhapur district, maharashtra on Dec 13th every year.Sad note of this traditional game is the lack of support of government and it's pressure to embrace international wrestling standards to Win medals in Olympics.It's popularity has dwindled over years due to red tapism and lack of funds from government.but there are still many akharas left and some dedicated people who are working to keep this ancient part of Indian culture alive.
The task tonight was to set up a basic 'still life' and light it as you see fit ... here are the results !!!
The images were lit by using my Canon 430EX II flashgun behind a white umbrella, all controlled wirelessly by my 7D.
Thanks to Jeff and Brian for supplying the 'props' tonight !

A portrait of 37604 sitting in the former "up" loop in what remains of Workington yard.
This loco had latterly been a member of the XHSS (stored serviceable) pool & stored at M.O.D Longtown.
On June the 16th it worked 0C92 Longtown to Kingmoor and by the following morning had appeared in the XHCC (Cumbrian Coast) pool, suggesting that something was afoot.
On Thursday 22nd it worked Kingmoor to Workington as 0Z37 with "CCTB" appearing on some TOPS lists erroneously hinting that it might be the oft' mooted Cumbrian Coast "Thunderbird".
In actual fact, with only five functioning traction motors that was never going to be the case and the loco is stabled at Workington to facilitate the training of Northern Rail drivers on the type.
How long for remains to be seen but I suspect that when that role ends it will be for the chop.
one needs to proceed gently and slowly, when everything is sooo delicate...
from 15 cm square of quite thin paper as a result of innocent conversation with Filip and Robin :) 10 levels, but as Malachi said, it's not for sane people, but... who cares :)
this is my first 10 levels hydrangea, but the center really isn't neat, 9 levels from this size is quite reasonable, but ten is too much, i wasn't able to narrow these last petals
I've never seen one of these before. Definitely looked like hard work to me. She was 'stepping' along at quite a speed too. Somehow I don't think I'll be buying one to use but good luck to this lady. I'll stick to my static exercise bike, at least that one has a sadle!
An exercise...just for the hell of it ;)

A picture from my fitness shoot with the terrific Lane and Zhenya on 7/29/17 at Lunatic Lens Studio in Phoenix. This shoot was great fun. Makeup and hair by the models themselves. On Zhenya, the main light was a DigiBee800 with a standard 7" reflector fitted with a 20° grid, camera left. Zhenya's rim light was an Alien Bees B1600 fired into a medium gridded strip bank, behind her, camera left. Both lights were triggered with Pocket Wizards. A large, white foam-core board was to Zhenya's left to fill shadows.
