Photographing Strangers

[meetshany]

Hi,

I visited my birthplace "Nasik" over the weekend which happens to be a city of pilgrimage. I went to a site which is considered to be very holy by Hindus.

The place is full of devotees and I tried to capture the strangers I saw through my lens.

I used my 70-300mm VR lens for all photos and used max aperture that I could for each photo.

I would like to hear about where did I go wrong in composition and post-processing. Comments on anything else also are more than welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, the face in the 2nd looks like it is well weathered & could tell a few tales?
All great shots.

These shots are wonderful. Great color, composition, focus. Good Eye.

I'd say you did a great job, although I'd add some fill to the mans face in the third photograph

I don't think you went wrong on any of them...I think they're all wonderful. Great idea.

nice job and great shots. I love the grainy black and white look of the 2nd and 3rd shots. very nice captures.

Thank you for the comments. It was fun to shoot strangers and capturing all kind of emotions.

It would be great if people share their experiences and give tips on stranger photography.

Thanks again.
