BAHNAR HILL TRIBE

In the old village of Kon Tum which was badly damaged during the American War, my friend Loc took me to visit an old lady he knew and wanted to photograph. he is a serious photographer on this site.

While she was posing for him in front of a window, I took a few shots myself. All the photos were taken with available light and I had to push the ISO to 1600. The results are grainy but I feel it adds something to the images.

F5.6 1/80th sec zoom at 70mm available light

A very impressive portrait!
p.s.: I see, Antonio used nearly the same words at the same time, and the portrait is really as well im - as expressive!
