Sunrise at the Ganges - 1984 - a photo on Flickriver

Sunrise at the Ganges - 1984

            The city of Varanasi wakes up, the fishermen return from nightly fishing expeditions. This was shot with grainy film and the result was rather soft - and I applied some sharpening software. Also, the people in the picture were in deep shadows and had to be coaxed into more prominence.. I have a bit of mixed feelings about this picture. It has some nostalgia for me since it was photographed during my first journey to Asia almost 40 years ago, but the quality of the original was not great. I decided to give it a shot anyway.

From my slide archives: the picture was originally photographed on Fuji Chrome film with my Nikon FE2 camera and 50mm lens. I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.
