Good shots Nels. I looked at the exif data on the first one... 1/15", You've got steady hands.

Here's a Chiang Mai potter with the 3g on colour neg...<div></div>

Thanks, Glenn. The image stabilization on my lens helped just as much or perhaps more than steady hands. I was trying to get as much of the motion blur as possible without losing much sharpness in the hands.<p>

I'm enjoying your India shots Nels. I've done a lot of shooting in the Mirzapur area near Varanasi. There's a whole folder in my gallery on carpet weaving, going from yarn to finished product. All film using 3g or M4's.<div></div>

Glenn, you have a good eye and I enjoy seeing your work. Seems like you've spent quite a bit of time there and interacted with the local people at some length.<p>

We went to a carpet dealer who unfortunately wasn't making any carpets at the time we were there, but he showed us some of the ingredients that go into the process. We only spent a few minutes there.<p>
