I took this some time back, in Chandni Chowk. It was morning, and this man had set the prayer flowers around his little roadside shrine before starting work for the day
I shot using a 100 ISO film.
For this one, I added a Nik Vignette, and that is about it. I adjusted the levels just a but to ensure that I got a decently balanced tone ‘structure’.
B&W film is something that I absolutely adore.
You must forgive me my lack of ‘Art Appreciation,’ and ‘Things Photographical,’ but what Impresses me is the Man’s Devotion, and Your Excellent Capture of the Subject. Kudos, my Dear Rajiv, and Thanks (It is Uplifting!) and Regards.
Thanks a lot, SwamiJi. “Small devotion” is often, if nor more, at least as authentic as “ostentatious devotion”.
Well said and True, my Dear Rajiv! Actually I would say: ‘ostentatious devotion’ is worth Nothing! 🙂
Truly said!

The black and white gives a timelessness to it. You can see the devotion on the man’s face. Well done, Rajiv.

Thanks a lot, Leslie!
You are most welcome.

Ah you do love film don’t you. And I can see why Rajiv. You have captured a special moment.
I do love film!
apologies if it has been said before but Black and White is much more atmospheric than the full on bright colour!
In general, yes. But sometimes colour works
