Boys at Lalibela Photo

Photographer’s Note

Palm Sunday at Lalibela - a solemn occasion, but these boys were having fun.

I took this shot just after sunrise, and light levels were low - the ISO was 25600!

Hi Ben!
What were you doing there at that time of the day? A great adventure it must have been to seep into the lives of Ethiopian people. A great close up with almost grotesqely charming faces. They look like having fun with your interaction.
ISO 25600??? What is that? :))
Best,
Deniz

that extreme ISO setting resulted in a film-like quality of the image... you took us in a time and distance journey, ben...

best, j.

Hi Ben,
It's been a while.
I like their expressions and big eyes. What I also like is the people all in white in the background and the one lady also smiling broadly. A cute in the moment black and white.
Regards
Wanda
