River of purple sent on February 13, 2014 (16:50) by Silviab. 5 comments, 824 views.

con Canon EF 1.4x II, 1/80 f/8.0, ISO 1600, hand held. Varanasi, India.

A Varanasi, la mattina, da tutta l'India uomini e donne arrivano per purificarsi nel Gange. Si dice che qualunque indiano, prima di morire, desideri solo recarsi qui. Ciò che colpisce di quel momento, per noi occidentali, sono i gesti quasi salvifici di chi si immerge in queste acque fetide. A migliaia, prima dell'alba, affollano la calma piatta del grande fiume sacro. Eppure non senti una voce: il tempo sembra sospeso in un silenzio irreale. E allora sono le immagini che urlano nella tua testa, e i colori, e quelle piccole luci sospese delle offerte votive affidate alla corrente. Fotografi, perché sei andato lì per quello, ma senti che restare dietro all'obiettivo è quasi limitativo. Ti impedisce la visuale corale, ti limita il campo visivo. Stacchi l'occhio dal visore, allontani la macchina fotografica, resti in silenzio e guardi. Poi l'istinto di immortalare quella scena così perfetta prende il sopravvento, e ritorni a fotografare. Quando torni a casa e riguardi gli scatti, sei deluso. Talvolta la macchina fotografica dà più di quel l'occhio vede. A Varanasi qualunque scatto - anche quello meglio riuscito - toglie, profana, riduce.

I really like the colors, the composition and the moment caught. was preferable to freeze most of the women's movement at the cost of raising the iso. (IMHO). shooting data? hello, laurel

@ Ellemme: I was with the ISO to the limit of the noise with the MarkII: 6000.
It actually looks much brighter than it was the circumstances. PP I have worked a lot on the lights and the contour lines.
The whole series of this report Varanasi has suffered from the same problem as the ratio of shake-time / iso / aperture.
If I could go back there with the Mk III and I know that I would not have these problems!

When we are borderline with the shutter speed must decide quickly how to work .. it's a matter of priorities and what we want to give up .. here you could give up the pdc and open the aperture ;-)
However, you did a good job with noise reduction :-)
Hello, laurel
