Not to worry, I received my birthday present from you, well in advance for this year. Send this next year though :lmao:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, man! Yeah, always interesting to read a bit about the people involved in street photos...the background information REALLY does help viewers.

Thank you so much Derrel, I'll try to hunt for more stories next time I'm out

Those are all great photos, they all have such great stories with them!!!
With these stories you are a journalist! Why does the government want to shut down the stands/shops for?

Now that I think of it, technically that is what journalism is, isn't it! Great then, I'm a journalist now :mrgreen:
That land is actually public property and is not allocated for these shops to setup. These shops are illegally setup to start with, but some of them are really desperate too. One of them, the person sitting next to the one who tried to bribe me(looking at the camera) (#2 below) actually comes from a village called bakura that is 55 km away everyday in the morning and goes back in the evening after selling his fish. The thing is he cycles the entire 110 km every single day! At least that's what Ram-the mechanic told me.

Here's a few more (on demand ) from that street for you and for Maria

#1. This was the shopkeeper who started posing for me after he came to know that I'm not a cop

#2. The Jolly fishseller

#3. The person staring at the camera is the one who tried to bribe me, after I took this shot obviously. :lmao:

Happy birthday!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Raj.Nice shots.

Thanks Dave

It's the Canon 5200mm f14 lens, I can just lie down at the rooftop somewhere and start taking pictures of the world :lmao:

...and now... I think you should learn about wb tool and use it all the time

Oh please do explain! Although the white balance is majorly off in these pics because of the tone created by the colourful plastic sheets protecting them from the sun, I made it a lot better but I know this for a fact that I have a problem getting the WB correct in almost all my pictures. Which tool are talking about? I have tried the white balance selector (dropper tool) in LR, played around with the tint and the temp and also the auto white balance in CS6, but nothing more.

So sorry I missed your birthday yesterday, I had no idea there was a party going on in this thread! Well, better late than never I suppose!
