~ when eyes meet ~, a photo from Bagmati, Centre

Photographer's Note

Watching me watching you in Bungamati village ....

I was taking a short break and pondering the photo opportunities looking at an old two storey traditional house when the lady appeared into the scene. She was probably wondering why a stranger was walking through her village and the thought did cross my mind as well, but I guessed she accepted the situation anyway by the seeming kindness on her face.

The traditional house hasn't changed much for many years I think. It is so interesting to see personally the way others live and work in rural Nepal, a place with tremendous photo ops. It's a matter of right timing and common sense.

Please see WS pic

Setting: 300 mm, 1/1000 sec, F5.6, ISO Raw 500, 0743 hrs

Workshop1: This is a wider view of her humble 'home-sweet-home' and how she popped out of the scene that I really love to treasure,,,,,

Hello Abmdsudi, a lovely portrait, especially as your eyes meet, she looks quite comfortable with that.
Her red clothing stands out against the dark background beautifully.
I like the W/s picture too.
Thanks for sharing, regards Jean.
