The bright red color of soil in the fields around Gundulpet is so enchanting. I have tried to take pics of workers in these fields earlier but was not very successful. This time, aided with slightly cloudy climate well suited for photographs and a friendly bunch of people .... I had my best chances. Settings are f/5.6 in Av mode for a 1/80s exposure.
The bullock cart pic from Mysuru - Bengaluru road is actually a bad frame with so many unwanted things in the picture including my cars rear view mirror! I used GIMP to cut out only what I want and to put that pixel effect to merge the picture into a black background. Settings are again Av Mode at f/5.6, but with a slightly more cloudy climate, exposure was at 1/25s and that explains a bit shaky picture.
