Who are you?, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

This is one more picture out of those that I shot with my handycam TRV 22E in the village near Saharanpur. The curiosity and the timidity on seeing a stranger smiling and aiming camera at them.

The light is very low and this has furner increased the noise in the picture. Can I do something for this?

Oh, what a pity, what a pity this slight blur... But it is really easy to forgive : I can understand so well the bad conditions of this shot.. and this group of young girls is wonderfull, so full of grace, mixed emotions, crossed looks...
Really, technically not perfect, but so attractive.

Wow, what a beautiful picture with four wonderful girls and expressions. Technically is a bit questionable, but there is several reasons for that, namely the camera and the light. I have done a quick WS to show a different outcome of the same photo. I hope I did not ruin it. Well done.

Hi Sushant,
Its not an easy thing getting good quality on the handycams but this is as good as one can imagine. You have brought out their feeling of apprehension, curiosity very well. If the photo size was bigger, I would have recommended a tighter crop but with handycam I dont think you can cut down much.
Best Wishes

Superbe image que j'aime telle qu'elle est. Le "grain" et les zones floues font pour moi la beauté de cette photo, renforçant l'aspect un peu craintif des jeunes filles.
Amicalement
JJ

The kind of soulful portraits (great light) we rarely see on TE, with no points taken, so to speak, by having caught it on the run, from a movie cam.
