    You sure get around Antonio :D

    I enjoy seeing other people's cultures, and I wish I could cook like these people too :D

    I love spicy food, not too hot though, but I draw the line at dead dried fish and other dead dried critters that hang from hooks or ropes, or as stacked on stalls :uhoh I don't have the stomach for that stuff .

    What do the two figures represent (statues) you have photographed through the doorway ??

    Interesting shots Antonio :D ........ Skippy

    Cant make out the smaller one, but the larger one is a cow.
    Hindus in India hold the cow holy. Due to this reason beef is banned in most places.
    Looks like Antonio went to south India(Judging by the dresses and people).

    Tanveer i have heard and read that people don't eat any type of meat some don't even wear foot wear of leather .And Hindu scriptures don't forbid to eat the meat instead encourage. Is that correct or just a lie headscratch.gif

    Actually in hinduism there is no rule. Everybody has different set of rules. different schools of thought.
    Generally the Brahmin caste people do not eat meat. Most others do.
    Not leather footwear class is rare, and mostly in villages because they cannot afford footwear. Most conception about India are from 50 years ago.
    Right now many are true, such as no rights for women in most homes, male dominates societies, extremely rigid opposition to inter caste/religion marriages etc., but things are changing, esp in metros.
    Hindus are around 75% of indian population, muslims are 20% and rest constitute 5%.
    I belong to the Sikh religion, and we are 2%. In our religion there are no taboos etc., though cow eating is rare due to close proximity with hindus, but there are no religious barriers.
    Different class of people follow different customs, so one size does not fit all thumb.gif

    Hello Skippy.
    How do you do ?
    We have been in the North India 9 years ago and we have eaten little food, because we don't like spicy one, not too hot indeed.
    The food in the South was good for tourists.
    We must never forget that in hotels - open buffet - the food is international.
    But there was some spicy items...:D

    The figures are the Nandi Bull. He often is presented with a scarf in the neck what looks quite interesting. :D

    I am trying to come inside my own page in order to post another pic but, somehow, it is not working.
    I'll do it later I hope.
    Thank you for commenting Skippy !:D

    Thank you.
    Indeed thay are good.
    But let me explain you - and to everyone - a little of the one on the right, because of the one on the left I don't remember.

    I am using 2 20 Ds. One with 16-35 and the other with 24-70.
    On the 1.st a CPF and on the second a ND filter.
    I do think that using these filters, mainly the CPF, gives very good results under harsh light.
    I'll get another CPf for the 24-70 soon.
    Look at the light in the picture on the right.
    It is direct, hard, harsh, very crude.
    I shoot RAW all the time.
    The photo is the melting of 2 pics: one for the background and another for the faces. Masks, Curves, a little SS ...

    Thanks for commenting. Hope this info may be usefulthumb.gif

    CPF = Circular Polarizing Filter
    ND = Neutral Density ( Filter )
    Mask = Please see for yourself in Photoshop
    RAW = Sophisticated and controversial way to shoot
    SS = Smart Sharpen ( Please see for yourself in Photoshop )
    I call "Melting 2 pics or more" when I put pictures one on top of the other to erase what I don't want on the top on and live what I want on the bottom photo on those areas.
    I'm just an amateur !
