A lambani woman wearing elaborate jewelery and bright colors, stares into the distance. The Lambani’s are a Gypsy tribe found in the western and southern parts of India. They are known to be very skilled at embroidery and other handicraft.

    Camera: Nikon D40
    Flash: Not Used
    Focal Length: 110.0mm
    Exposure Time: .002s (1/500)
    Exposure: Shutter Priority
    Aperture: f/4.8
    ISO: 360

    I used my NIkkor 55-200 VR Lens, it gives great bokeh and it sharp.

    Pretty interesting! I think the exposure could have been a little less. Also, I am not a great fan of high ISO for portraits but I guess the wrinkles on the face are complimented with higher noice using high ISO. As Bharath said a very NatGeo look!
