Hello everybody!
March 11th was our first full day in Varanasi. We had a slow morning and chatted over a breakfast of toast and tea. We walked away from the river into the town. We quickly lost each other in the masses of tourists, but shooting worked fine anyway and afterwards it turned out we had gone to just about the same places. I had wonderful lunch on my own in an air conditioned restaurant. A very tasty dal, which was like a thick spicy lentil soup.and some beautiful two-layered kulcha bread, which had onions and coriander leaves as a filling.
In the afternoon we went down the steps to the Ganges again. I tried an experiment and shot with my 85mm f/1.8 lens. Streeting with a short telephoto felt very different and difficult. But it was good for shooting the monkeys who had decided to show themselves out in the open!
Both walks were about 3-4 hours, so all in all a good days work.
Be well guys!
Niklas
