Eating dinner a few nights ago in Bodhgaya, I overheard the guys next to me going on about the adventures that they’d had taking photographs over the years. I’d been having a bit of a problem with a new lens of mine and so I asked if they would take a look.
The next morning, one of the guys, David, walked into the same little restaurant where I was then eating breakfast and asked if he could join me.
The next thing I knew, I had spent the entire day receiving lessons in photography from a veteran film producer and camera operator for the Discovery Channel.
We were mostly just playing around and experimenting with different light and setting combinations. (As you’d expect, the Mahabodhi Temple complex is a decent enough place to do such things.) But here’s some of what we gathered from the day.

Gorgeous photos!
I agree, they are a pleasure to look at. What is the story behind the hands coming through the barrier?
Ha. Thanks guys. Everybody’s asking me about the hands. They belong to people asking for money through a wall around the temple complex. I didn’t totally get why so many beggars were vying for the same spot, though.
Oh, so lovely kiddo! Your eye just gets better and better
