Shaft of light after the misting in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens rainforest pavillion. Not stunning, but an excercise in shadow and patterns
He had been reading like this for ten minutes when I left the gym. I wonder how much of that book he plans to read while in the splits. I can easily touch my toes for a minute, but this would be painfully impossible for me (even 50 years ago).
Shot this whilst doing an excercise with a student the other day, where we were shooting pre-focused at 3metres and shooting from the hip. We were crossing and re-crossing the zebra-crossing by Hammamatsucho station, as the light under the bridge there is always superb, streaming in from the west side of the bridge and lighting people on one side so well.
Love the slight up-angle I get when shooting vertical, with the camera just held down by the side of my leg. Especially with kids, as you are on their eye-line which makes all the difference from the usual perspective of shooting from the head, where you are always looking down on people. You gotta be on the money with regard to framing and timing. But, practice makes perfect.
Minimal editing to this, just to clone out the very burned-out outline of a lady at top right. The crop is straight out of the camera.

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.

On the left is my senior year in high school. On the right is me in college. I became pregnant with Aaron in college and was determine to loose the weight.
Too embarassed to show pregnant pics.
I took this quickly on the roof top, so did not have much time to set up the shot correctly, like framing etc... but still like the way it came out! Although they never made me feel unwelcome... I felt like I was intruding on their little sanctuary, So I took a few shots and quitely slipped back down the stairs.
My apologies for not getting around to all your photos... been quite busy since returning from my holiday. I hope to visit soon!
