This streetside peanut vendor in Bombay wasn't too thrilled with me snapping away, but I got this shot in
before he noticed and objected.
One from my very first trip toting a DSLR, so I somehow managed to strip out the EXIF data. Shot with the nifty fifty at f/1.8, 1/80s, ISO 800.

I understand the difficulties associated with a difficult subject - and sympathize and emphathize - but I really wish I could see his face. And I can't tell from the photo that he's seeing peanuts - so if that was your goal...

I posted the image here because I like the way the fire illuminates his face, and because the peanuts were delicious.
Well that makes sense!:D

I definitely have to make it more of a habit to take time each time I shoot to consider A) my point of view as a storyteller; how I will express that point of view in terms of composition; and C) my planned approach to getting the exposure correct.
When the above image was shot, I was doing none of those things. Just a tourist with a fun gadget.
