Pride Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture with my Canon EOS Elan II, Tamron 24-70 lens. The original is color and printed on a 3.5x 5.5 small Agfa paper. Scanned with a Canon MF 4100 at 300 dpi. Lots of post processing in adobe CS2 to make it look old and grainy. The person is a far relative of mine and he was very-very proud of his horses. Picture taken in Romania, Csikszereda (Miercurea Ciuc),where most of the population are Seklers (szekely), sort of sub-category of Hungarians.

Although he's posing, he's doing it in a real, natural way. And with his most prized possessions, in his home environment. Excellent documentary quality, BW conversion is very good.
