Thar Desert Camel Trek, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Coming back from the Thar Desert to Jaisalmer, I was fortunate enough to be riding Mr. India, the camel leader. This provide opportunities for pictures looking forward without any other camels and aft where I could see the whole caravan.

Our tour guides were to drop us a the rendez-vous point and then pick another group. Then can do this exercise for two months in a row without seeing their family during the peak tourist season.

Have a nice day!

MeAT :)

Bonjour Mathieu,
Une bel angle de prise de vue qui fait l'homme tout petit devant son chameau.
C'est vrai que dans ce lieu hostile l'avantage est peut-être au chameau.
Bonne journée
Marc

Bonjour Mathieu,
Très jolie composition.
Très joli cadrage serré sur la tête du chameau et sur le chamelier au turban orange qui ajoute un plus à la composition.
TFS,
Corinne

Hi Mathieu!
I like this a lot, the composition with the camel in foreground, the colours and the golden light. Very well framed

Bonjour Mathieu
How similar are our compo. styles! I have a couple of near identical shots from Sam Dunes, Jaisalmer, (which I've not posted) taken from atop the camel. Wondering how you took this shot, reaching out to the right from the camel's back? Wondering because we can see most of the camel's neck in the shot. The late afternoon light is delicious. Well done!
Regards
Angshu
PS : I liked your Jodhpur Fort shot as well. I saw you went to Orchha & have posted only one picture from there. How did you like Orchha?

Hello Mathieu,
Both of them from their back in the same direction....greaaaaaaat POV. To your POV please add the beautiful bright colors and your wisely chosen vertical preference.
Best Regards,
