Panic on the Road

Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 8 February 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Actually.. my wife took this picture.. she is an avid subject matter fan, so her angle of view is always on the dramatic side..( aint all women?? hahhahahah) Anyway, i thought this is a superb shot of the kavadi bearer shouting at the people infront of him ( including my little wife) to make way for his pilgrimage upwards the cave..

Hi guys!, After contemplating for so long, I have finally decided to put out my images for sale in my own photo sales site. Please visit http://www.e-ttl.com to view the site and if you see anything you like, let me know. This is a " Truly Malaysian" site that sells images from Malaysia.

So, I officially pronounce my site open for sales!! Thousands of thanks to aminus3 members and web owners to be a good friend and a true compatriot in photography to all budding photographers to be able to display their works in a blog format for free. I truly salute the aminus3 team for being very kind and humane to all of us. I wish you all the greatest of success.

Thank you.

Fantastic! As an avid subject person and ... ahem .. a woman, I just love this photo. A great moment captured. Not only is the subject a winner but the balance and colour all work fantastically. Please congratulate your wife on my behalf.

The guy with the whip looks like he means business !
Impressive capture, in all honesty I have to say I'd expect the photographer to have been chased down looking at the expressions in this one.

@Fred: Hi Fred! .. Hahhahhhha... I told my wife that... I think she may put up a fight.... with me around her of course... ::)

Btw.. Fred.. you are right... on a normal circumstances this may have ended up in a manslaughter... some photographers may have to put up with it while reporting...

Thanks for your kind comments!
