Proud nomad Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

On the way from Kassala to Sinkat we met two huge caravans of hundreds of camels.
Many people also were moving with all their things. The tribes were Beni Amir and Adendawa (like the one in the photo).
After overtaked the caravan along the road, I waited for them along their way with some bottles of water to give as present.
It was a chance to go out of the time, in the flat empty desert breathing the dust and listening at the paths of the camels, observing people who live in another world...

Ciao Luca, mi piace molto questa immagine, sia per la tecnica (complimenti per l'esposizione, con una luce così importante) che per il soggetto. Fierezza, semplicità ed eleganza sono ben rappresentati.

Hi Luca,
these vivid colours are wonderful.
An impressing pose full of beauty he did for you.
I like the perspective and the great lightning.
Great job you did.

Hey Lucas, good pov and fantastic colours. Besides, it seems very well exposed and sharp as a tack. A dynamic composition with an interesting story going along with it, even though it has a slight touch of "Made in Sudan - for tourists only".

Che scena, Luca!! Sembra aggressivo nei tuoi confronti. E' una ben strana posa per una foto!
... foto riuscita benissimo, elegante composizione, il blu sembra esagerato ma probabilmente era proprio così intenso.

Bravo!
