Blow it, and fix it later?

20080719 0735 239x300This should have been a really nice shot! The Shutki / Chutki-traders [Dried fish trader] store was really interesting [and did I mention that it stank to high-heavens? yes I did], the trader had a nice face to photograph, the light was nice but low....Instead of taking my time I shot at high ISO and slow shutter without enough care. Anyway, I processed the blurred image a bit differently and came up with this version. I find it interesting. And different to my «usual» style.

Fishy business

Fishermen - Baridhara Lake, Dhaka cityFishing in the, now polluted, Baridhara/Gulshan lakes - these fishermen continue to make a lively-hood from fish caught here.  The «lakes» are pretty filthy and polluted with all the muck from the city flowing directly into these lakes. At one time, not more than 10 years ago, these «lakes» were connected and further connected to a canal system which probably fed from one of the smaller rivers.  The water would flow.  Now these are stagnant water bodies that overflow during the high monsoon but do not dry out during the dry season.  The large fish, pictured, was later thrown back overboard [dead] because they thought it was no good.  They were after the smaller varieties probably....
