That Holi photo is absolutely incredible. The one guy looking right at you in the one moment. And the light streaming, obviously too. Great shot. I didn't have a cover. Went to Holi super last minute from Bangkok. Ended up hiring a cab driver to take me around and i just rolled down the window to get the shot and then sent it back up again.
Eventually, i threw the camera in the bag, stopped working and got out to just enjoy the day. Incredible memories of Delhi and the joyous kindness of strangers. I can't wait to go back with a proper cover. even with the cover, did you get any damage? Thanks for sharing! https://buddhadrinksfanta.com/scenes-2018s-holi-festival-new-delhi-india/
You did incredibly well to make those photos from the inside of a taxi, Jenny. Just shows how a little out-of-the-box thinking can produce great results. Indeed, I particularly like the water-smeared image through the glass. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely love the Buddhist prayers image. Nothing more is needed there. As for the rain cover, I believe it’s an old Kata model, very similar or the same model I used for Holi. We discussed a bit of that back in early 2014 or late 2013.
I love the guy in the "guichet" (booth) at the bus station: the framing, the colours, the light and the proud attitude of the guy. And the gear you have been using (85 mm - I would guess your 5D mk III at the time!?) allows for a great separation : street photography at its best...and so.much Thai!

Thanks! I like that one too. Water on glass is always mesmerizing. Have a great week!
This was a great post. Thank you 🙏

Your memory is excellent, Ruben. I’m sure you’re right. It is a Kata rain cover. It worked very well, as I recall.
