Diana, Son Kul lake camp, Kyrgyzstan, August.
Just as Rabya, this lovely girl lived aside a lost lake of Central Asia. Her family guested us in a yurt . As soon as I can, I'lll post other pictures of this one of a kind trip.

Rabyà, Karakul, Tajikistan, August 2014.
This 5 yrs old girl travelled with us from Murghab to Karakul ( abt 100 miles ) to go back home in a very remote area of eastern Tajikistan. Despite her young age, she needed a dentist, not available in her home village, so someone first escorted her to Murghab at her uncle, yet someone had to escort back home in an area where cars and vehicles of any kind are very rare. The hotel receptionist where we stayed in Murghab thankfully knew our driver and subsequently decided to ask him a favour. By chance, Rabya's mother was our next guest house owner in Karakul, one of the very most ghost towns i have ever seen.

No special effects applied, straight out of camera this way. No idea what I did to make it (this is not "simple movement blur"), yet I like it.

Who said that wide angles can't be used for taking action pictures ?

Adoptive gathering

By: italy74

Although there's nothing to hide, the presence of minors forced me to look for an alternative approach than the usual football team-like picture. Thankfully the 18mm was wide enough to encompass the whole room for the area I really needed, the one showing the presence of people.

Here's where a 18mm comes handy ! In a bare squared meter there were 4+1

No, it's not barrel distortion.. simple perspective and a really leaning brick tower..

First selfie of my son

By: italy74

Yes, it's a selfie, he tripped the shutter, I just turned my camera toward him..

Opening time pic !

I was a bit too close and the flash - although bounced - overexposed. Anyway isn't she pretty at her first workday with everything in order?

Well, this is an unusual subject and the 35 is always great to perform like a pseudo macro.. you can even see the first customer ready to hand a note to the shop owner lol
