Haven't been around on the forum for a couple of months, as have been very busy & have just come back from a month in Pakistan.

It's a very beautiful place, although for me very hot at the moment as they are in the middle of the Monsoon season.

Here's a few portraits:

    This is a fantastic shot. I LOVE this one clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    The first is also fantastic (but not as good as the one above), some of the others I feel might be nicer with a little fill flash? The people have great expressions just a tad too dark to really notice them.

    Now don't take this the wrong way but that last one just does not seem to fit in with the others... It just does not have the same impact as the previous ones.

    I enjoyed looking at these though (especially the second)

    I like #2, too. You can see the people's eyes.

    Thanks everyone. It was great to see you there Awais. I thought the meet was very interesting & good fun with the spontaneous photo shoot outside at the end.

    Hopefully I'll be back later in the year.
