Elder woman in Tingriti

Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

In the many entries from my medical expedition to India on my other blog, I've mentioned that I wasn't thrilled with the opportunities I got for photography on the trip. I simply didn't get the chance to devote the time necessary to take thoughtful images. That said, I'm not too proud to post the best shots I did take, even if they aren't as good as I hoped they'd be. This may be my favorite image from the trip. I took this picture at Tingriti, a very remote village in the Himalayas. This woman and a child who I presume was her grand daughter were among my favorite subjects during the trip. I captured this shot just after a meal that our organization provided to the villagers.

  2. I really had no experience taking pictures of people prior to this trip. For that reason, I don't think I brought much in the way of expectations for this type of shot, and that might make me a bit easier to please than I would be with a landscape image. Even so, I'm decently satisfied with a few shots like this that I'll post.

  3. There is not a single shadow. I will assume this was taken under a cloudy sky. This has excellent lighting, not to mention the great framing.

  4. I'd guess that I took this shoot around 1:00 in the afternoon, below overcast skies.
