Pic of the Day – Burmese Girl

I took this picture back in December 2000 using Fujifilm Velvia 50 positive film (slide) on either a Yashica or Contax body with a Carl Zeiss lens. Those were the days! Both Yashica and Contax stopped making cameras in 2005 but the equipment I have still takes really good pics although I’m really lazy to take them out these days. Anyway, she was a girl in the market in Yangon and it was just fortuitous that her eyes happened to be in the stream of light coming through the awnings. It was also lucky that for once I had my settings right as she was just there for a fleeting moment.

Shot on a Nikon D800 at 200mm zoom, manual setting of ISO2500, F4, 1/100.
